Television, First Ave., NYC, 1977

The candid moment between them feels so alive it’s almost like you’re standing on that First Avenue sidewalk, and the black-and-white print brings out every shadow in the brickwork behind them. I’ve had it up for a week and still catch myself stopping to look at the casual way they’re standing toget

The grain on this print gives the whole street scene that proper 1970s documentary feel, and the way the band blends into the architecture makes it feel like you’re standing on First Avenue with them. It’s a quiet, candid moment, not a posed promo shot, which is exactly what I wanted for the wall.

The way the band members’ casual body language contrasts with the sharp lines of the brick and fire escape pulls me right back to that moment on the sidewalk. The black-and-white grain feels gritty but somehow intimate, like I’m standing a few feet away watching them talk.
