Carlos. Long Beach, CA.

Carlos is a photographer living on 4th street and was also the figure studies model for my figure studies classes in college. I asked him if I could visit his studio and take some pictures of him and he obliged. I had a good time chatting with him though I must admit he’s a bit… what’s that word? Cantankerous.
