Avenues & Alleyways

I'm a battering ram coming through to you
In every alleyway and avenue
Oi! Oi! Oi!

Dan Eldon

Dan Eldon was an English photojournalist who grew up in Kenya. Unfortunately, he was stoned to death back in 1993 while he was taking pictures of a bombed building in Somalia, but he did leave us with great photographs and crazy sketchbooks. His mom and sister collected 17 of his sketchbooks and published them in a book called The Journey is the Destination. Seriously, this book is crazy cool!

Oi! Oi! Oi! Class Assignments!

Dramatic Lighting

The Unseen Remain Unseen

Self-Portrait

... it's not a literal self-portrait, obviously.

-Up the punx!

Glen Friedman

While researching photographers for my concentration, I came across Glen Friedman. Friedman grew up in California taking pictures of many bands and skateboarders. He has worked with groups such as Minor Threat and Run DMC. He's also a strict straightedge vegan. Anyway, I really like the way he approches the people in his photographs, and how his documentary style captures the subject's character.

So I want to end this post with the lyrics of one of my favorite songs by Minor Threat.

Don't smoke

Don't drink

At lest I can f**king thing

I can't keep up

Can't keep up

Can't keep up

Out of step with the world
