ARTIST INFO: Mike Brodie aka "The Polaroid Kidd" is a somewhat accidental documentary photographer. By photographing his friends, their homes, and lifestyles, Brodie has captured a marginalized segment of the American population that's not so prevalent in main stream society. His haunting photos of hobos, punks, and squatters criss-crossing the country in boxcars are reminiscent of Horace Bristol's Grapes of Wrath era pics that captured migrant workers on their way to California ....except now with facial tattoos. They're truly amazing. Brodie recently displayed work at LA's M+B Gallery. Andrew M. Scott ------ More info on the artist: Ridin Dirty Face.com Interview on Fecal Face.com |
