Hunter S. Thompson, Cozumel, Mexico 1974

I framed this next to my desk, and the contrast in the silver gelatin print captures the texture of the seawall and his jacket perfectly. The mood of that 1974 Cozumel interview comes through exactly as I'd hoped.

The fine details in the print—the way his sunglasses reflect the seawall—are incredibly sharp and bring the moment to life. It’s now the centerpiece of my study, and the paper quality feels archival and heavy.

The heavy black frame suits the print perfectly, and the matting gives it a museum-quality feel. I’ve had this up in my study for a week and keep noticing new details in Thompson’s expression.
