A waitress with a bottle in her hand can be seen on the far left, standing in the background. On the reverse, "5523" is written in blue ink in the bottom right corner. The reverse also includes a small label that lists in handwritten cursive the names of all the individuals in the photo. The names do not appear to be written in any sort of discernable order.

Martin (1956–) is a Republican with almost three decades of political experience on the state level. He was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1988 to 1994. From January 13, 1988, to January 8, 1992, he represented the 67th district. From January 8, 1992, to February 17, 1994, he represented the 27th district.
