It’s taped to a light post.

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:

Jamie’s got a new dance night at Elbo Room, also my favorite place to play pinball. I’m sure he could explain his DJ night a lot better but it’s music from the early 2000s. Back then I was shooting on a Canon Rebel 2000 and using Tri-X for black and white, AGFA Vista 200 for color. My teacher back then was a true film snob in the best sense, dismissing those stocks as pedestrian and value brands. When I can, I shoot a brand I think she’d appreciate, Fuji Pro 400H, which is what I’ve used here for Last Nite.

Thanks, Joshua! Looks like a killer party, Jamie! (Keep tabs on future editions here.) Ten more shots after the jump:

If this looks like a blast to you, and I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t, consider attending this month’s Haçeteria, tonight at Slate Bar.

Man. And there are lots more gems in there too.

I shot this roll of AGFA film knowing that it had expired in 1997, I thought overexposure would help retain some of qualities that AGFA shooters love. Wild colors, surreal textures and dreamy skies. The drawback is that the film has degraded severely and there was no real way to verify how the film was stored from production time to my purchase. I really don’t mind though, part of the reason why I shoot film like this is the unpredictable nature of the chemistry.

Thanks, Joshua! Ten more shots after the jump:
