Janis Joplin lavalla Fillmore Eastissa, NYC, 1968

The contrast in this print is stunning—the way the light hits the sweat on her face makes the whole photo feel alive. The paper quality is excellent, with a nice matte finish that doesn’t glare under my lamp. A piece that really brings the 60s rock scene into my living room.

You can almost feel the vibration of her voice through the stage floor in this photo, the way her hand grips the microphone stand says everything about that performance. The print has just the right amount of contrast to make the black and white pop without losing the moody atmosphere of the Fillmor

The grain of the film really captures the grit of that 1968 Fillmore East stage. It’s framed so tight you can almost hear her wail over the crowd. This one’s going straight on my wall.
