SUPERHERO PUNKS: PHOTOGRAPHY FROM NIALL O’BRIEN

Our friends at Sick Of The Radio have posted another great photo blog that reminds us of the Penelope Spheeris ’84 cult classic Suburbia. Three years after her groundbreaking doc The Decline Of Western Civilization, and pre-dating  Wayne’s World, Spheeris traced a bunch of suburban punk runaways, including a very young, and then unknown Flea from The Chili Peppers, who squat out a minimalist, punk lifestyle in an abandoned tract home and display some, well,  “DIY” after school special acting chops. Worth dropping in the netflix queue  for the live footage of D.I. performing “Richard Hung Himself” and True sounds of liberty performing “darker my love”…and of course mini Flea putting a rat in his mouth.

In a similar vein of Suburbia, “Irish Photographer and filmmaker Niall O’Brien followed around an photographed south-west London punks for four years compiling his “Superhero” series which showed a few months back entitled “Good Rats”. In a quote from a recent interview Niall said,”I walk around with these kids and the noses that are turned up are unbelievable, people are disgusted by the kids and they think of them as rats, people think they’re despicable, but I feel, in my heart of hearts that they are good kids. Hanging the show has been easy, Art Works Space is a really beautiful gallery, I saw it and just thought yeah, perfect. It’s a massive space and I’ve had to fill it, I’ve never done things by halves, (laughs).” (sickoftheradio.com)

And here are some scenes from Suburbia. Seriously, check out mini Flea:

THERE’S ALWAYS A PARTY!: CAMERABAG.TV TOASTS PHOTOGRAPHER BRAD ELTERMAN

discosalt is really excited about a new website called Camerabag.tv. The site toasts both emerging and established photographers, adding a new photographer profile each week and giving an intimate glimpse into their work spaces and tools of the trade.

This week, the site features a really cool piece on BuzzFoto founder, legendary rock photographer and discosalt fav and friend, Brad Elterman; a photo guru whose edgy, often raw and raunchy photos you’ve most likely been subliminally consuming in books, magazines and TV since you were born. Now, Camerbag.tv gives you the opportunity to peep Brad’s workspace through videos and stills, learn about his arresting life as a photographer, his camera arsenal, favorite photos, the “Golden Rule” of concerts!, and get a really neat preview of his new limited edition book project which we are anxiously awaiting the birth of some time this fall.  As always, check back with discosalt for updates on the release.

CLICK HERE to watch the interview with Brad, or check out some photos from Camerabag.tv below and remember, there’s always a party!:

ESOTERIC TRAVELER’S LANDSCAPE PHOTO NARRATIVE

West coast photographer Anthony George Noceti has just assembled a new series of landscape photo narrative’s on his website Esoteric Traveler. The images are taken from within vehicles along Anthony’s travels  with a low resolution digital and 35mm camera. Read what Anthony has to say about his work:

“Conveying a detached and voyeuristic presence, the mode in the Esoteric Traveler is that of a passenger moving through an every changing landscape where the notion of reality is blurred. An onmiscient sort of being, the passenger is more of an implied character who does not take part in the narrative, but only relates it to the viewer. In this sense the narrative takes on a feeling of esoteric projection, wherein the traveler leaves the physical to explore a greater realm.”( Esoteric Traveler)

JEREMY & CLAIRE WEISS’S DAY 19




Jeremy & Claire Weiss are far and away my favorite husband and wife photography team (ok, maybe the only one i know of) but they are two of the hippest photographers on the West coast with an amazing portofilio that dips into portraits of musicians, directors, actors, friends, hipsters and the girl next door.  Based out of  Los Angeles, CA, the couple, who also go by the name of their photo studio Day 19, have put together a really amazing portfolio for you to check out.  They work on composition using light and shadows to create simple, highly stylish images that can take you right inside moments of  real comfort or high energy. Their work has been featured on the covers of Nylon and Paste and they have shot portraits of a slew of musicians, film makers and actors from David Lynch, Jack Black, No Age, Slash, Devendra Banhart, The Black Keys, Rivers Cuomo to Billy Corgan. The list goes on and on.
