Photograph by Tashaila Nichole Meyers and this is posted with her explicit consent. As she is a minor, I (Argon233) have also secured explicit permission from her legal guardian (parent). I have ensured that both understand the ramifications of releasing the photo to me under a CC-BY-SA license, and informed them of my intent to post this image to Wikimedia Commons for use in Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia.
I (Argon233) have edited the files with the word edited in the file name, which edits may include cropping, rotating, filling in detracting voids left by cropping/rotating, and/or airbrushing out distracting details (such as a sign for an adjacent display that is not actual in frame of the photo).
