Michael Jackson, NYC, 1977

Even though it's a black-and-white candid, you can feel the energy of that Plaza Hotel moment jump right off the paper. Bob Gruen's eye for the unguarded side of Jackson is unreal, and the print's sharpness makes the 1977 setting feel immediate. It's the centerpiece of my living room now.

The candid shot of Jackson from 1977 feels remarkably intimate, like a moment frozen in time. I've had it up for a week and keep noticing new details in the background. The paper quality is excellent too—no glare at all under my living room lights.
