Chic, 1981

The grain and contrast in this 1981 portrait really capture the era’s energy—it feels like you’re in the room with them. I’ve stared at it for a week and still notice a new detail in the lighting each time.

The silver gelatin print has this wonderful depth that makes the whole band feel alive in the room with you. I’ve hung it above my desk and catch myself stopping to look at the texture of the grain every single time. It’s exactly the kind of piece I hoped would anchor my music corner.
