Kathy Silver 與 Sly Stone，加州洛杉磯，1974 年。
「Sly 的音樂充滿了閃耀的生命力，而這正是我在他本人身上所感受到的。我前往好萊塢的一間房子進行拍攝，並與『家族』成員在那裡待了一整天。某個時刻，Sly 正與他的妻子 Kathy 跳舞，兩人滿懷喜悅地擁抱著他們的新生兒。那一刻的影像最終成為了他的專輯《Small Talk》的封面。」—— Norman Seeff
The print quality really captures the grit of that Hollywood shoot—you can see the texture in Sly’s jacket and the rawness of the moment. It’s not just a photo, it feels like a slice of the 70s music scene right on my wall. I’ve been staring at it for days and still notice something new.
That photo of Sly is pure energy—you can almost hear the music coming off the print. The grain and shadow work make it feel like you're right there in that Hollywood living room, and the paper quality is sturdy enough to frame without glass.
The print captures that raw, electric energy Sly had—his expression alone tells you the room was alive. I framed it in my studio and every visitor stops to ask about it. It's a piece of music history you can feel.
