from $700.00

Willie Nelson, taken at The Opry House, Austin TX in 1977 by photographer Scott Newton from our exclusive collection, The Scott Newton Archive. 

Available as a signed, limited edition photographic print; comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Photographer notes: This photograph led me to my theory of what good photography is about... Essence comes first. Like Plato, I believe the Idea of a thing comes before the thing can manifest in reality...when existence perfectly mirrors underlying essence, like here, push the shutter. 

Here, Willie is burning with, and sending out creative energy. Music (the sound the Muses make) is hot. The woman is, on some very profound level, warming her soul to the essence that flows from him to her and back. Can you see it? A good photograph reveals underlying, profound truth. Can you feel the flow? Some of you will know what I'm talking about; the rest, I hope to show.

You can add framing to your print purchase if needed, or simply order the print unframed. Our framing service is provided by a reputable, local professional custom framer here in Austin. 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. Upgrade to non-glare museum glass for an additional fee.
