This past week, the legendary Haze came through LA to do a show at the new Known Gallery space on Fairfax. I had the opportunity to hang with him a bit, interview him, and shoot some photos of him doing work.

All the following photos were from a trip I took to NY in October/November of 2008. I also shot a series of photos of him giving tattoo’s. Click on the category “tattoo journal” for more photos of him handing out ink to friends for practice.

death comes around

I have been very aware of the concept and event of death recently. I think everyone has a certain moment when they are young where they realize death is inevitable. My sister, who is 4 years younger than me, was having a hard time with this realization when she was 7 or 8 years old. I was probably her age when I first thought about death, however, it wasn’t until I saw her fear, that I started to fear death myself. Now, I don’t fear death but accept it as something that is going to come, at some point that I have almost zero control over. Maybe if we were conscious from a very young age, that we were actually all slowly dieing, and that death wasn’t something to fear, but something to gauge how valuable our lives are, we as people would live life as full as possible, and take more chances. I am not positive, but I think it is the emotion of fear that causes people to live so cautiously and safe. The people I admire the most are almost always ones that take those risks and do something different.

P.s. sorry for the graphic image. Hopefully you wont be scared to come back.

“A perfect photograph is one that perfectly records, reflects its subjects; gives its beholder the same order of joy that the original would.”

The first image on this roll was from a day at Rincon when it was pretty fun in the cove.

This next image was made a few days after the above one at Dead Man’s, one of the low tide surf spots in our area after I got out of the water.

A roll of 24/36 images can sometimes represent either a fraction of a day, or sometimes can span 3 or 4 weeks. This one I think is around the latter.

Below, checking out the local water falling down the local mountains a day or two after the rain.

And I cheated… b and w conversion.
