From the website:

"In Steve Steigman’s iconic “Blown Away,†sound waves pummel a man with tsunami force. Steigman (1942 – 2004), called “the father of modern self-promotion,†was one of the top advertising photographers of the 80s, despite a lack of photography schooling, and the first to run his own studio. A pop culture staple, the image, used by Maxell in the 1980s to advertise audio cassettes, has been brought back by Maxell for their audio accessories and X Games sponsorship."

How many of you had (or still have) this poster? It is time for me to refresh my copy.
