Hiding from the hot Sunday afternoon

What's up, dawg.

Sometimes you’ve got to take shelter in a dark bar.

Another hot day under the cherry blossoms

Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos: Easter

Every week, photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us. He picks the best 13 photos and we post them here, and it’s called “Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos.” Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s installment:

My Yashica D kicked the bucket a couple weeks back. A good TLR is hard to find on the cheap, repairs almost never come back with a 100% working camera either. Luckily a friend of mine acquired some new cameras so I was able to finish this series with her old Yashica A. Sally’s Easter party, an old friend came up to visit from the OC, some behind the scenes looks at projects I’ve worked on & a trip to Lake Merritt with Rachel Duffy.

Thanks, Joshua! Nine more shots after the jump:

Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos: Sci-Fi Series

Every week, photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us. He picks the best 13 photos and we post them here, and it’s called “Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos.” Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s installment:

I’ve been working on this sci-fi series for a couple rolls now but this is a more concentrated effort to visualize my idea. I used very little by means of equipment for this series, relying more on natural light, timing & collaboration with the subject’s environment. Requiring the subjects to bring in aspects of their own reality allowed the characters to build a foundation of verisimilitude, purposely obscured for anonymity.

Thanks, Joshua! Ten more shots after the jump:

Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos: The Way I Shoot

Every week, photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us. He picks the best 13 photos and we post them here, and it’s called “Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos.” Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s installment:

The way i shoot involves maybe setting up two or three shoots a month, concepts that i work on over long periods of time. Since each roll takes about a week to shoot, a lot of my personal life ends up on these rolls. Bad blood has turned my perspective into my journal. This is Velvia 50 transparency film shot on my 35mm Canonet rangefinder.

Thanks, Joshua! Nine more shots after the jump: (more…)
