Patti Smith and William Burroughs, 1977

The grain and contrast in this Lynn Goldsmith print really capture the raw energy of that 1977 meeting—two legends who don't need to say a word to fill the frame. It's a conversation between music and literature frozen perfectly, and the print quality does it justice.

It's a solid print of an iconic moment—Smith and Burroughs both look exactly as you'd expect from that era. The photo itself is sharp enough, though I wish the print had a bit more of that gritty 1977 texture coming through. Fine for the price, but I've seen more compelling shots of them separately.
