Only God to Watch My Back, NY, 1987

Photograph by Frank Stewart (born 1949) African-American photographer based in New York, best known for photographing Jazz musicians.

"This is T.C. (Top Cat), who just got out of jail. I asked if I could take his picture, and he said if I did, he wanted me to show where he got shot in the back. So he took off his shirt
and turned around. Then he said I should wait until he put his metal for survival (his cross) behind him because only God was watching his back."
