I've always loved this photo of William S. Burroughs taken in 1975 by Gerard Melanga, one of Andy Warhol's "Superstars" whose photographs of that whole scene have always made me wish I was there for the fun. Now a poster-size gelatin print of this image is up for auction on eBay. Along with this shot is a creepy 1978 photo of Burroughs taking aim at the World Trade Center with his shotgun. Starting bid for the limited-edition pair? $16,000 (AKA "way too rich for my blood.") Link
