Keith Richards, Rolling Stones, NYC, 1988

$1320 ~~$2000~~ In stock

It was a major coming-of-age moment for me. No publicists or bodyguards, just a rising photographer and this legend I’d grown up listening to. Between rounds of pool and drinks at an otherwise vacant dive bar in Tribeca this is among the few shots we managed to get before heading over to the Hudson to catch the sunset. Crossing Greenwich Avenue, we were stopped by an NYPD office asking Keith to sign his violation book. Moments later, a few more showed up. I tried to rush things along as the sun began to sink, but when a female officer opened her bulletproof vest to reveal the Rolling Stones shirt she wore under her uniform, Keith couldn’t refuse signing just one more autograph. I may not have gotten that moment on film but we did manage to get the shots we were looking for and then some. Turning away from New York’s finest, he told me, ‘I could run for mayor of this town.’ After that day, I’m convinced he could, and win, too.” --Timothy White

That shot of him leaning over the pool cue just captures his whole cool, unguarded vibe. The print has this rich, deep black that makes the bar look exactly like a late-night dive. I’ve stared at it for ten minutes straight and still notice something new.

The graininess of the black and white print gives it this raw, informal feel you just don't get from staged rock photos. You can practically hear the pool balls clicking in that empty room. It's hanging in my hallway now and every guest stops to ask about it.

The vacant bar with just a pool table and two guys drinking gives this shot a intimacy you don't see in typical rock photos. Print quality is sharp enough that you can read the labels on the bottles behind him. It's hanging in my hallway and every guest stops at it.
