Cause to say "never say never" you done said never twice.

So, me trying to stay as real as I can in my medium of art I always shoot film. The problem with film is the decrease in places to develop and print, its almost like digital has a plot against film, almost like oil company's putting the kibosh on LA cable car system way back when. I did find a loop hole to the high cost of Los Angeles photo labs, but I am keeping this to myself and a select few who are really down for the cause.

I have a lot of new work to show y'all, but I am going to span it out and edit some so you always have new work to look at. I am going to try to show it to you in order shot.

This is a body of work I was playing with when I first moved into my Downtown home. I was in love with the natural light and just the soothing composition's I was seeing while cleaning or making coffee or even just being stoned and zoning out. Peep it.

Five more days Hey-Sus.

It's Monday and I am bummed cause The Icon in Los Angeles is closed until january 2nd. I guess i'll have to go to A&I.Here is a little jam to kick off your count down till Jesus Christ's birthday.

Indian at heart.

Yesterday, i was able to shoot Eddie House from Steed Lord. I was also lucky enough to shoot hisbeautiful girlfriend Danni, stay hyped for the next post.

Hiroshi is my homeboy.

This man keeps it really real.

"I am against the kind of evolution, ha ha ha. I am sticking to the traditional method."

Watchin' time fly..

I m way hyped about a shoot an friday, and even more hyped about some future images i have to share with y'all.

My man thats a Rasta got the best green pasta..

Tree trunk buds, but that good shit'l cost ya.



These dudes names are Sef and Lenny, guess who name is whos.

I have a lot of new work and no money, so keep your ear to the ground for this next post could be a club banger.

also listen to this band.

..and the clock keeps tickin' im a modern man.

Oldie but a goodie.

This song will not leave my brain.

Woke up with this song in my head.

Don't look back.

I have new work for y'all to enjoy soon, for now here is some under exposed shots i tried to save in light room, they look half of half way decent. ha ha. anyway...like to hear it, here it go.




I think if i just had a grid spot on her face or maybe a strip soft box it would have been rad.

stay tuned.

..a snack to hold you over.

I have a lot to say about this work i am just having a hard time writing and editing. i really want some feed back tho, it may inspire more motivation to write.

Found my place in the sun.

I have been steady grinding for a long while now. I must admitt i was in a bit of a rut as far as making new work goes, I had all the ideas but no time, materials or motivation to make it happen.
I always shoot street work but hardly devo the negs. I think just that alone will be a body of work on its own..to think i am out making compositions with color and city shapes and never look at them. I feel like when i do devo and look at the negs with fresh eyes it will be another story all together, not to mention teach me a little about by myself and my evolving style.
Ever since i learned to control light it has opened up a whole other side of making work. its a feeling of control and really being in charge of the over all product. I was blessed with a light kit so stay tuned for some test rolls. I am always looking for new subjects men and women, but of course as a straight man i do often shoot women.




I went to see the Dennis Hopper show at the Museum of contemporary art in Los Angeles shortly after i moved to the city. I had just seen "American Dreamer" and heard Dennis speak about art and what it meant to him. I really strongly agreed with his view on men and women and the relationship we as human develop.
When i saw D.Hoppers work and some of his photography i noticed something. I noticed the way straight men photograph women, some shoot really over done sexy shots and alot of men shoot them in admiration. The way i view women, the way i fall in love with women, the way i love my mother and growing up as a kid with only her and i for the first 3 years of my life.I knew this was something worth investigating further. My goal was to make photographs showing this love and admiration i had. i think as a super mans man and the way i look will always reflect people over all opnion on my work as far as photographing women.

Triple Triple OG.

wait for it.

Stay Hyper....

I have a new heavy photo and talk rant coming soon, stay hyped..

Stay tuned.........

Overdue.

One for all, all for one. Not fucking real.

So, i have nothing but respect for certain high profile graff dudes..most are dicks and i cant wait till they go to jail and everyone forgets about them.I know it sounds harsh, but as a photo geek i have met alot of them and walked away thinking, wow that's why they always say "don't meet your heroes"
I also have a big issue with making your graff crew into a clothing company.How fucking lame is it to see a shit load of toys wearing you crews name blasted across there chest and dude cant even rock a decent fill in sporting a pocket full of shit markers.
Ok enough ranting..i did wanna post some street portraits i did of Saber, dude has been rad every time i ran into him. i enjoy meeting artist of our time that are still hella humble. so here we go..again just scanned negs, not really color corrected..just seeing what is print worthy..
There has been some question as to if he is going over the "Atlas cats" its a legal wall people get over it and quit trying to pump up the rumor mill





Cheers
Bobby

I love you like a rap kid loves breaks.

I have been shooting alot in the studio, really trying to perfect shooting in controlled environment. Every once and a while i am able to get a model that just gets it, i don't have to give a million directions or explain anything..just shoot.focus.shoot. I met kat in between classes, she was bout it. Ill prolly shoot her a few more times in studio then take my strobe skills to the streets.
I mostly shoot street, or self portrait work. I am learning new thing and trying to think outside of my box. I like the process of controlled environment. You get to shoot and really edit and see if you are getting what you want out of a photograph.also i get to make photos that as an artist feel that people would like to look at, now or ten years from now.I am always asking myself..do these photos count?? Am i pushing the work? or just pushing out bad shits. I like to think that as an artist you need to be a one upper, to yourself and to other artists. If we all just think something is "good" or "cool" then what are we getting out of the work??
You gotta keep the movement movin.






I didnt really edit the color scans..just was seeing what was print worthy.

Love-Bobby

either way it's okay, I wasn't tryin' to get laid

I just wanted to say "I hope you have a great day"

I wanted to post some of the lovleys i have shot. They will be the end of me.

These are a few of my favorite things.

Although i have been attempting to go dry for the last 72 hours, I wanted to post an image I shot while drinking. I tend to shoot alot while drinking its "part of my artistic process" or so i am told.

In other photographic news..the Inland Empire is slowly killing the film medium of photography. First my school did away with c-printing and now the city has done away with the only place that develops medium format film.

Ok.Ok. Ok.

So this is how I post images.."I get it french class"

ओके..वहत दो इ दो अगेन??

I am learning all about his nerd ish..seeing how this layout really works..this may be deleted.
