Janis Joplin i Pigpen, 710 Ashbury, San Francisco, CA, 1967.

The grain and contrast in this print give it that authentic late-60s feel, not like a modern re-scan. You can almost hear the chaos of the Haight in the background. It's the kind of frame that makes you stop and stare every time you walk past it.

The lighting catches them mid-laugh, and you can almost feel the sticky heat of that 1967 afternoon. I've stared at this print three times already, noticing something new in the background each time.

The grain on this print is gorgeous, and the way the light falls on Pigpen's face against the shadow between them really makes the 1967 era feel tangible. It's printed on sturdy stock that arrived flat and pristine, so I've already got it framed above my desk.
