Gibby, Willie and Roky by Scott Newton
Gibby, Willie, and Roky. May 1995, Luck, Texas.
“I could tell a thousand stories about making this image. First, Roky wouldn't move or take direction, literally. He would turn, but not move...Then, Willie quietly asked us who Roky Erickson was. Later, Roky asked if Willie Nelson was there yet, while standing next to him, Gibby Haynes was, well, Gibby. Willie is good for maybe 2 willing cooperative minutes before he's on to the next thing. I wasted 5 minutes trying to get Roky to move and Willie announced my five minutes were up! I dropped trying to get Roky to do anything other than just stand and chat ("how do I look now?"), and managed to get off two very quick rolls of 120 film with the Hasselblad; the actual shooting took 2 minutes... It's amazing that I was able to get this wonderful image.” - Scott Newton

Prints are framed in a classic museum-style frame using archival techniques. This consists of a 3" white matt, plain black wood surround, and conservation clear, UV-protected glass.
