Interview – T. Reilly Hodgson
There's an element of documentary in a large amount of my work but there's a lot more to it than that for me. I do want to make pictures that are artful, that's for sure, but I'm also interested in the way that memory works. I use photos to express something in the same way I might use a drawing or painting to express something

Usually, with images hung on a wall, people move to look at images that interest them, they can skip images, or move out of the order the artist intends. With a book, beyond just controlling that viewing experience, you can go beyond just the sense of sight and incorporate touch, sound, text, and other means of telling your story more carefully as well.

I love to tell stories the way I see them as oppose to translating another person's vision, which is what
you often have to do when on assignment. I have my own unique way of seeing a situation / the world and to me it really is story telling and
I'm the author.

To be honest, I am quite obsessed with the forests of BC and could be happy taking photos here forever

Colin Corneau – Interview
I do like the idea of preserving a community and a time. It seems a lot of photography is, at one level or another, about fighting back against the relentless tide of time erasing everything.
George Webber – Interview
I like to travel light, usually one camera with one lens. I like to hang out. I like to go back to the same place over and over again. I like to watch for the little changes.

Basically, I go and have an adventure and write about it.

I’m no expert on California punk, but I think the first 2 photos are Negative Trend, from San Francisco, who played the Quadra Club 5-6 September 1978. Most of the Neg Trend photos I’ve seen are with singer named Rozz, but this doesn’t look him him. It could be Mikal Waters, or Rik L. Rik.
The last photo looks similar to one you posted a while back, which featured Wimpy, Dimwit & Gerry Useless (which Jon Williams ID’d as Wimpy & the Bloated Cows, a pre-Suhumans combo). Like that photo, I think it’s Joey Shithead on drums. And it looks like Randy Rampage on vocals. It could be a jam session, or maybe an ad-hoc version of Victorian Pork.
Also pretty sure the first two photos are of Negative Trend. The bass player’s name is Will Shatter and that’s definitely him in those shots. Negative Trend later morphed into Flipper.
Okay, I’ve emailed Peter Urban (former manager of the Dils, Zeros, and Negative Trend) and he has confirmed this is Negative Trend: “The singer is Mikal Waters, who followed [original singer] Rozz and preceded Rik L. Rik, with Will Shatter in the foreground and Craig Gray [guitar] somewhat hidden behind in both photos.”
