Ramones, CBGB, New York City, 1975

I hung it above my desk and every time I glance over, that grainy black-and-white detail of Johnny’s stoic pose pulls me straight into 1975. The paper quality feels archival, not flimsy, which matters for a piece this iconic.

The grain on this print makes the black-and-white feel exactly like the era — you can almost hear the noise from that CBGB stage. It’s perfectly framed, capturing the band’s raw energy outside the club. I’ve got it hanging in my living room and it’s already a conversation starter.

It captures that raw CBGB energy perfectly—the contrast in the black-and-white print really makes the Ramones stand out. I just wish the print was a tiny bit larger for the wall space I had in mind.
