“In my business, it’s really about who can work the hardest and be the flyest at the same time. Who can have that balance … It’s a very fine line in trying to do something like this and having it cross over and transcend. That’s not something that just comes over night and it’s definitely a voice that has been developed over years.”

“Work is how I identify myself. It’s how and where I find myself. It’s how I get through time. I don’t enjoy life. I do life. I am an Americanist. Every moment I am alive is because I have not been murdered by the America … The tasks I set out for myself are what I do to beat the perfect pointlessness of life.”

“I feel that my photography is just an extension of my love of people-watching. I am interested in the way people project themselves to the world.

I was first turned on to Grant Hatfield‘s photography by Ed Templeton, skateboard legend and artist extraordinaire. I ...

“Money is a human invention and subject to human redefinition. It is sometimes an overwhelming and illusive thing to consider … this often makes money seem oppressive. If anything, I’d like my art to help diffuse some of this tension about money. See … its not such a bully … you can cut it up and make pictures out of it if you want.”

“Sometimes I like the memory of a moment rather than the actual moment as it was experienced.”
-Marie-Fleur Charlesworth
If I dared run a finger across her photographs, I would not be surprised if a thin coating of dust met my skin. I like this about Marie-Fleur’s work. While admiring her photos I feel as if I am cross-legged on the carpet, digging through a shoebox of ancient Polaroids. Her images have a distinct vintage feel; faded, ...

This past Friday, Nick Waterhouse played at the Bootleg Theater in L.A. Our west coast photojournalist, Kelly Brown, was there to capture Nick’s romantic retrospect. Back in October, Paradigm Magazine had the chance to interview Nick and here is a short excerpt of the man behind the music …
