Mick Jagger, Laurel Canyon, CA, 1969

The way Jagger is captured mid-conversation on the phone makes the whole 1969 Laurel Canyon scene feel immediate and real. The black-and-white tones bring out the texture of his jacket and the casual tension in the moment. It's exactly the kind of candid shot I wanted.

I finally decided to frame this candid shot of Mick Jagger on the phone, and the 1969 date really makes it feel like a hidden moment in rock history. The black-and-white tones capture the casual Laurel Canyon vibe perfectly.

The way the light catches the side of his face in that Laurel Canyon setting makes the whole scene feel like you're right there in 1969. I've hung it in my hallway and catch myself stopping to look at it every time I walk by, it's that kind of photo.
