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:

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.

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.

Ash & I took a trip to Sausalito, the ferry ride there helped me visualize an alternate reality that I’m hoping to create in a future collection. Bits and gasps can be seen here, the last photograph being an example of that vision. The Matildas were on tour, we happened to have room for them to stay at our house during that time. The middle of this set is a familiar theme of mine, patterns, more specifically how all patterns seem to have this organic natural state to them, which may reflect on my interest in sea life & primordial creatures. Other unspecified portraits were taken around downtown or Chinatown in celebration of the Year of the Snake.

Thanks, Joshua! (Can’t wait for this alternate reality thing!) Eight more shots after the jump: (more…)

Lovely day! (Click it to blow it up.)

I was dog sitting on 23rd St recently so every morning I’d wake up at 6 or 7 and walk around the neighborhood. There’s a series of hedges on 24th St that I thought would be cool to showcase here. I also should mention the film, Kodak E100G, such a shame that Kodak discontinued making slide film.

Agreed! Thanks, Joshua! Eight more shots (including some lovely hedges) after the jump: (more…)
