Bruce Springsteen, Long Branch, NJ 1973

The black-and-white shot from that August night in Long Branch feels so unposed—you can almost hear the boardwalk noise around him. It’s printed with real depth, not flat like so many gallery photos I’ve ordered. Framed it in my study and I keep stopping to look.

I was pleasantly surprised by the candid, unposed feel of this 1973 Springsteen photo—it captures a raw energy you don't see in his later, polished shots. The black-and-white finish suits the era perfectly. My only small wish is that it came in a slightly larger print size.
