Frank made the cover photographs for Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town and the River albums. He also worked with his old college friend Patti Smith, and took the cover shot on Southside Johnny’s Hearts of Stone LP.

Frank Stefanko recalls the shoot in Haddonfield, NJ during the winter of 1978: "...he arrived in a slick ’60 Corvette. I think that car was his pride and joy. It was loaded, it was sleek, it ruled Route 9 and the New Jersey Turnpike. I imagined what it would be like to be Bruce, cruising in that Vette up the Pike under that giant Exxon sign in the wee, wee hours, thinking up song ideas while listening to his favorite tunes in that bad-ass Corvette.” Please note that this beautiful photograph is now right down to the wire for the limited edition 30x40 inch paper size option. We now have just one left in inventory - artists proof 4/4 - the very last one in the 30x40 size. It is framed and ready to deliver, and looks incredible in this large size.
