Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos: Winter Heatwave

Every now and then, the now-LA-based but still SF-devoted photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us. He picks the best 13 shots and we call it “Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos.” Here’s what Joshua has to say about this edition:

This roll is an example of the various types of shoots I’ve been on in the past month. The first photo is Ashley Pamela on her birthday off Melrose. Ashley Ording on a concept shoot at the Legion of Honor. Allyson Hillerby is a model / vintage lover I just met, she runs an online store / appointment only shop in the Mission. My pals near St. Francis Fountain on a recent trip to SF. Back in LA, I saw Michelle Guintu’s new art show off Santa Monica Blvd., at various times with various people wandered around Hollywood during our Winter Heatwave and worked with the twin brother punk band The Garden.

Thanks, Joshua! Ten more shots after the jump:

New issue of Doctor Popular’s photo zine is out!

Doc Pop‘s first one was nothing but great shots of San Francisco. The second one is something completely different:

Today I’m proud to announce that the second issue of my American Analog zine is available online! To create this issue I set a goal of traveling to NYC and spending 3 solid days walking EVERYWHERE and capturing whatever I could. It was much more stressful than doing a “best of SF” type book, like my first issue, but the end result turned out great!

See inside and order copies here.

Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos: Since Moving to L.A.

For a long time, photographer Joshua Cobos shot a roll of film just for us, every week. He picked the best 13 photos and we posted them here, and it was called “Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos.” Well, Joshua moved to Los Angeles a couple months back, but we figured that’s no reason for us to stop enjoying these peeks into his process — and L.A. is great! Here’s what Joshua has to say about this installment:

Since moving to L.A. I’ve been extremely busy assisting photographers, dodging celebrities and figuring out what’s going on with the music scene down here. It’s nice to be able to shoot a roll now and then for myself. With Bad Blood in mind, I chose a completely manual rangefinder (thanks Tanya) so I could meter the shots myself & one of the last rolls of AGFA Vista 100 I have. This week’s selections are a journal from the time Ashley & I moved here in August to two weeks ago when all the Christmas Tree lighting started. As always, I miss the bay.

Thanks, Joshua! Ten more shots after the jump:
