Every now and then, pro photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us, picks his 13 favorites, and we publish them here and it’s called “Bad Blood.” Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s spread:

Went to Denver at the beginning of July. Ended up celebrating my birthday in the best possible way. That state know’s what’s up. Spent some time at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery with Katie Conry. I’ll be shooting in San Francisco August 15th through the 20th. See you then!

Every now and then, photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us, picks his 13 favorites, and we publish them here and it’s called “Bad Blood.” It used to be weekly but it’s become more sporadic since Joshua’s move to Los Angeles last year. He still comes back to SF every chance he gets, but regardless of where he shoots his rolls, it’s always a joy to get a peek inside his process with each new edition. Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s spread:

A recent roll of Kodak Gold that I had been saving. These images show the past week in San Francisco except for the final shot which is from a bar in Los Angeles. While in SF, I realized I needed to be completely alone so I walked around the old neighborhoods I used to live in. I said goodbye to so much this past time I was there. As far as “tech scumb”, I love all my friends that work in tech and wish no malice towards anyone ever.

Every now and then, photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us, picks his 13 favorites, and we publish them here and it’s called “Bad Blood.” It used to be weekly but it’s become more sporadic since Joshua’s move to Los Angeles a few months back. He still comes back to SF every chance he gets (which is great for all of us) but regardless of where he shoots his rolls, it’s always a joy to get a peek inside his process with each new edition. Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s spread:

Beauty and muses are difficult concepts for me sometimes. Muses by their nature are not permanent so I’m constantly coming to a crossroad where people are coming and going out of my life as they please. Beauty on the other hand can be quite subjective. I’ve known many muses that desire to work with as many artists as possible so they can see all the different reflections and interpretations of themselves. On the rare occasion, I myself have been a muse for an artist. It’s rewarding and a momentary relief from the stress of work and reality.

This edition, as you can see, finds Joshua back in SF for a spell (woohoo!):

The Thrift Town photo is purely an homage to the times I spent there looking for anything and nothing, to Teen Witch who I know loves that place. The place kind of served as a reminder that the city was slowly changing. Over the years I lived there I watched the price of thrift rise. At first slowly, then to a point where clothing and used electronics became indistinguishable in price from the antique / vintage stores in the mission. Thrift Town and stuff left out on the street by San Franciscans is how I decorated my apartments. These photos were shot over a four day trip I took to SF at the beginning of June.

Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s:

Everyone spends so much time down here driving. I guess in other cities you spend the same amount of time in transit on the bus or train or whatever but I see so many people in LA driving alone. Why not carpool? I walk around Los Angeles still as often as possible, it beats going to the gym and drinking juice which is also what everyone here seems be into. Same with E-Cigs and black clothing. Most of this series was shot in or around Hollywood.

LA the past month has meant visiting friends all over the southern part of this state. This and the next issue are a two part series that documents travels around Joshua Tree and Hollywood with friends from the bay. The SF band Silver Shadows played a pretty cool house that was a converted church near Westlake. Been finding myself gravitating towards the long strip of Beverly Boulevard more than anywhere else in LA. Come visit, there are porches, pools and plenty of space to have friends stay over.

Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s:

I’m pretty sure I’ve pissed off a lot of people in the 26 years I’ve been around in this body. I usually look my subject in the eye before or after taking the photo so that they don’t think I’m some timid voyeur or anything like that. Otherwise, interacting with various strangers and new friends over time introduces you to some pretty wild personalities. There’s a good amount of people in these photos that I imagine won’t be talking to me anytime soon as well but every town is a small town in certain ways.
