My friend Robin is one of my favorite photographers.  I got to hang out with her and her extremely weird and entertaining friends when I was in LA.  Robin was an old school fan of Driven By Boredom and when she was 16 she told me that I was her favorite writer.  Now she pretty much thinks I am a douche bag.  I have known her for the last 6 years and I have watched her photography get from good, to fucking amazing.  She consistently blows my mind.  Personally I think she abuses photoshop and that her images are strong enough that she doesn’t need much touch up.  She recently redid her website and I got to see a bunch of new images that I had never seen before.  She has two portfolios, one for her creepy horror stuff and naked chicks and one for her commercial work.  The thing is, surprisingly, I am almost more impressed by her commercial work.  Her editorial portraiture is mind blowing.  When I was in LA she was talking to me about the Salton Sea and how nothing but crazy meth heads live there.  She recently sent me a link to her Flickr set of it, and it blew my mind.  I am posting two images below.  The first is from the Salton Sea shoot and the second is an editorial portrait of two redneck comedians and liberal presidential hopeful Senator Mike Gravel.
