ハンター・S・トンプソン、ペペズ・バー、コスメル、メキシコ、1974年

The way this print catches the midday glare bouncing off the bar counter makes you feel like you're sitting right across from Hunter. The paper has a nice, subtle texture that gives the image an almost documentary feel. It's become the centerpiece of my study.

You can almost feel the sticky Cozumel heat and hear the clinking glasses at Pepe’s Bar coming through this print—the grimy, candid vibe is exactly what I wanted. It arrived well-packaged and the paper quality feels substantial, not flimsy.

The afternoon light in this print is so warm you can almost feel the Caribbean humidity, and the detail in the bar’s wooden counter and bottles pulls you right into that 1974 moment. It’s the kind of piece that makes you stop and stare every time you walk past it in my hallway.
