The Cars, Ric Ocasek, 1982

The photo captures Ric Ocasek in such a raw, candid moment from the early 80s that you can almost hear the synth playing. Lynn Goldsmith's eye for that era really comes through in the framing and the way the light hits his face.

The black and white grain in this print gives it such a raw, authentic 80s feel. I’ve got it framed in my office and the mood it sets is perfect.

Lynn Goldsmith really captured Ric Ocasek’s quiet intensity here — the framing feels intimate, like a moment he didn’t know was being watched. The print arrived well-packaged and the paper has a nice weight to it. It’s been up in my study for a week and I keep catching myself glancing at it.
