Description

Photograph of Wayne West posing with the 3 trout he caught during a trip to Big Bear Lake. Wayne West stands at center, between 2 cars, and looks to the camera. He holds up the 3 trout in front of him. To the left of him, a car (partial view) is parked. It is viewed close-up at an angle from the rear and the side. It faces towards the back of the image. The nose of another car juts into frame from the lower right corner. It too faces towards the back of the image. A pine tree stands in the near distance behind Wayne at center. Tall grasses dotted by pines stretch into the background, where a building sits to the right of Wayne. Silhouetted hills rise in the far distance.
