ZINE REVIEW #18 11/30/2011


Raw Deal #13
Joey Alone

The stories that make up the autobiographical adventure Raw Deal are the kind that are acquired through life experience, personal education, self-motivation, living off-the-grid, passion, failure, and observing with questioning eyes the world and the community called home. It is packed with numerous noteworthy punch lines only a witty linguistics railroader could muddle out. These are stories of solidarity and growing pains as a student brakeman on the railroad, historical and educational references of Bay Area history, and most of all, love for ecology with well-researched, insightful perspectives that will likely reconnect you, even just for a brief moment, with nature. Obtaining one of these gems may be difficult; a chance encounter with Joey along the tracks may be your only opportunity.

Trevor Traynor had a show

I often get emails from people asking who took a certain picture or where it came from. All the pictures on this website are originally from here, aka “Original Content”, aka “No reblog regurgitation.” I thought it was obvious, I guess not.

Chris MCcaw @ Steven Wirtz. Long exposure photographs where the sun burns directly onto the photo paper. Photos don’t do this unique process justice, so this is all you get.

Jessie Rose Vala @ Evergold Gallery

I made two appointments to view the current show at Pier 24, however failed to remember both times. Third time was a charm and I revisited the exhibition again the day after. To summarize, if you have any interest in photography or San Francisco history this is a healthy offering. Pier 24 is completely free of charge and should be taken full advantage of. Make a visit, or several. This may explain the excessive amount of photos below; more than a quick summary, but in no way represents the shows magnitude.

Archival mugshot photographs from 1915 acquired from the SFPD!

Scene from “Bullit”. Car chase through San Francisco streets in the 1960′s!

Not a halloween costume. Blacked out, picking a fight, resulting in bloody boxer cut over eyebrow. Ross smiles it off.

“Midnight Snack” published by Andrew Luck & Charlotte Drury. Various artists.



Kaput package including old zines, pins, dvd, and stickers.

I think this an old Remio zine? Love how blown out everything is.

I interviewed Read More Books for a 10 page feature. Remember the review of Read More’s zine?

Feeling confident in the way this interview turned out! Pick up a copy to read and see the rest.
