Bonnie Raitt, NYC, 1979

The black-and-white tones are so rich, they really capture the grit and soul of that NYC era. I love how Lynn Goldsmith caught Bonnie mid-stride, it feels like a private moment.

You can almost feel the late-70s energy radiating off this portrait; the way Goldsmith captured Raitt mid-emergence is pure magic. It’s hung in my hallway and every guest stops to ask about it.

The grain and shadow in this print give it that real 1979 feel, like you're flipping through a magazine from the era. Lynn Goldsmith really captured the grit and the grace of Raitt right before she blew up, and the gallery-quality paper makes it pop on my wall.
