About the Item

Pappy + Harriet's Pioneertown, California - 2024 Archival Pigment Print on 315gsm Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta Paper. Available Sizes: Standard 37" x 65" Unframed 52" x 80" Framed Edition of 12 Large 56" x 99" Unframed 71" x 114" Framed Edition of 12 "Founded in 1982, Pappy + Harriet’s has hosted many celebrated music acts, some taking time out from nearby music festivals such as Coachella and Stagecoach but most are coming to play what has become one of the most lauded independent venues in the world. Some are simply so seduced by the magic they end up performing impromptu on stage. McCartney, Robert Plant and Patti Smith have played here, along with rock bands such as Interpol, the Arctic Monkeys and the Dead Kennedys. The crowd is a magical cocktail of cowboys, bikers, old-timers, creative artists and musicians and it is this assembly that has elevated a dusty old roadhouse into an establishment whose status is secure. There is nowhere quite like it and it is a known destination. On the day I was shooting in Pioneertown, I happened to be speaking to an old friend who is the President of Live Nation’s European division and when he found out where I was, his voice was excited as if I was on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. Much of the credit for the continued allure of this famed honky tonk must, of course, go to the founders - Harriet and her husband Claude “Pappy” Allen. He passed in 1994, but his keen artistic eye still stamps its authority on the interior details of the bar. That was important to convey in this image. After Pappy’s passing, the ownership changed hands a few times and now operates under the loving care of the married owners JB Moresco and Lisa Elin - I want to thank them for their kindness on the day of this crazy shoot. The legendary location is in good hands for another generation of lovers of life. This landmark institution boasts more than just a vibe - it’s the place that prides itself on strong live music acts, its renowned BBQ and the breadth of its clientele." - David Yarrow

"I just can’t bring myself to drift from my default position of wanting wild west saloon images to be long of menace. I see no reason to introduce a mood of levity and laughter as these were bad ass days in loosely governed frontier towns marooned in the middle of nowhere. With alcohol and women came danger, perhaps it was always so. Of course, I am being postmodern and playful with the composed close ups; almost to the point of being cartoonish. But why dumb things down when we are simply telling stories. On this set, high in the Crazy Mountains of Montana, we cast three of my favourite cowboys - Ty Mitchell and Ryan Marshall from West Texas and Mad Jack from Virginia City...

    Durango, Colorado - 2023 Archival Pigment Print on 315gsm Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta Paper Each is signed, dated and numbered on the front. Edition Size: 20 I am not ashamed of the fact that I often have an audience in my mind when I take a shot. In this case in the Diamond Belle Saloon in Durango, Colorado, my instincts were that it would appeal more if the frame was busy because my experience with this famous old wild west bar is that it is always something of a gathering place for all those who like a drink. It is how bars should be and is celebrated as such. I want the audience to say; “I wish I was in that bar that night” or even “we need more interesting people...
