Ashley Breed. Late ’80s. Somewhere near Alta Arden and Bell, back when the Jaguar dealership was still around. Yashica 635, Kodak TMX 100.
I was still figuring it out.
Everything I shot back then was copied — poses, lighting, attitude. I saw someone pull down sunglasses in a magazine ad and thought, yeah, that looks cool, so I asked Ashley to do it.
I’m pretty sure this was taken with my Yashica 635, and I used TMX 100 film—no light meter. No bounce. Just on-camera flash and whatever the sun was doing behind me. Even my horizon was crooked!
We were standing in a public fountain on a random afternoon. No permits, no plan. Just an idea and a roll of film.
