A crop of this shot became the cover of Neil Young's 1970 album After The Gold Rush. This was Joel Bernstein's very first album cover, in a long & distinguished career.

"The cover photo, taken at sunset on their last day in the islands, tells it all - a clear portrait of four tanned men, all living in completely separate worlds. The print is now tacked up on Neil Youngβs bedroom wall at his ranch."
