I've been staring at the grain in this photo for ten minutes—the way the light catches Bruce's jacket feels like I'm right there in '78. The candid, unposed energy of the band is what sold me, and the print quality does it justice.

The moment in this shot is so perfectly captured—you can almost hear the crowd and feel the energy from that night. I love the way the parking meter stands out in the foreground, giving the whole image a gritty, real-time feel. This print looks fantastic framed in my living room.

The grain and contrast in this print really bring out the relaxed, almost goofy vibe of the band. It’s a perfect counterpoint to all the usual live-action shots I see of him.
