Joni Mitchell, 1969

There's something so intimate about seeing her in that moment, headphones on, checking the acetate of *Clouds* before it even hit the shelves. You can almost feel the quiet focus in the room. It's a photograph that makes you lean in.

The acetate detail really sold me—you can feel the moment captured, her leaning in to make sure Clouds was right before anyone else heard it. The print quality does the photo justice, and it’s become the centerpiece of my hallway.
