When I first started Booooooom, Hamburger Eyes was one of my favourite things to look at for photo inspiration. Ray and David Potes’ black and white zine had such a distinct aesthetic and attitude and nearly two decades later it still does. Its influence spread far beyond the Bay Area and inspired an entire generation of photographers.
Filmmaker Aaron Rose (Beautiful Losers) interviews Ray Potes and other contributors, beautifully capturing the history of the project, with cinematography by Tobin Yelland and an original score by Money Mark. This will make you wanna go out and shoot. Watch the trailer below and watch the full film here and grab yourself a zine here.
