Back when i was just a malchick in awe of the world, i took time out after further education, to travel across the United States on greyhound buses, a truly scary but oft beautiful experience.
Along the way myself and my travelling companion, (the Sancho to my Don Quixote) Andy, encountered lots of characters. Some threatened our lives, some enriched them.
Well one such lovely dude was the young rascal Hiatt Zhao who is hands down the most polite, most chilled and talented person i recall ever having met.
The details are hazy and unimportant but we shared some cool times in Austin, Texas and i remember Hiatt buzzing when we went to see The Good, The Bad and The Ugly at the local picture house there, all the audience hooting and hollering and booing like real cowboy miscreants as the intro credits rolled.
Hiatt took a lot of photos back then and he has now blossomed into a really interesting photographer. His website www.hiattzhao.com is really cool.
Featuring almost psychedelic, hypnotic images of modern architecture, his close up take on what from a distance are probably standard big city office block fare, gives his subjects a new element of artistry that can be lost in their familiarity.
Not that i know a thing about photography, but they sure are pretty and i think you should check them out!
