Waylon Jennings, Nashville, TN, 1998

The baryta paper gives the blacks a depth I didn't expect from a print this size. Hung it above my record shelf and it catches the light without any glare. Waylon's expression alone was worth it.

I bought this for my dad's birthday and he hasn't stopped talking about it. The baryta paper gives the black-and-white such deep tones, and you can really feel the weight of the cotton-fiber print in your hands. It came carefully packed with no bends or creases, which I was worried about.

The grain in this 1998 Nashville shot is gorgeous, and the 100% cotton-fiber paper has a slight texture that makes it feel like a real darkroom print rather than a poster. Hung it above my record shelf and it looks fantastic under a warm bulb.
