Archival dye transfer photograph, image size 30 x 30 inches, limited edition of 5 Photograph © Eric Meola, registered with U.S. Copyright Office "Darkness," is a very special photograph. Bruce is behind the wheel of the car - not that you'd know - and that's part of the beauty of it. It is a grand sweeping photograph, drama in the mountains and skies, with the car seeming to flash white light from its' position dead centre of the vanishing point. Eric made ten of these beautiful dye transfer photographs in this large format. They are not being made available in other sizes. Of the ten, he reserved five for himself, family and friends. The remaining five were offered to collectors. ALL FIVE ARE NOW SOLD - BUT FROM TIME TO TIME AN EXAMPLE MAY COME BACK ON THE MARKET

Eric recalls "During the last month of recording the album Born to Run, Bruce would spend nearly every waking hour at the Record Plant on West 44th Street in New York.The last week of finalizing the album was particularly intense, and given the mood I knew not to interfere. This image was made a few days before Bruce finished the album. I showed up and waited in the lobby of the building, and finally left to go home. Bruce suddenly appeared and we talked briefly--he was amused by the custom made T-shirt I was wearing which had the words "BORN FOR FUN" emblazoned on the front in red, white and blue.In the hot July sunlight, I got a few portraits of him grinning before he went back in to work some more on the song "Jungleland". In a few days the album would be finished."

£ 1,540 – £ 5,775"He would walk into the studio and there was not much else you had to know. That stare, the look—somewhere between James Dean, Phil Everly and Dylan. He was always so intense, and yet he was always the most down to earth, salt of the earth guy. He wrote about his sister and Mary and Rosalita, and Wendy and Candy and Sandy and someday he would stand on a stage every night on Broadway and tell his story about growing up, and his old man, and being born to run.” Eric MeolaPhotograph © Eric Meola, registered with U.S. Copyright Office
