Lev Rukhin

I met Lev when I was in high school, he is bar none the craziest and most talented person I know, with a heart of pure gold. He was born in the USSR and emigrated to Texas, and both locales live large in his persona. Everyone that knows him has at least one epic “lever story.” Ten years ago he traveled the world on his motorcycle, aptly named Fulcrum, and came home with a volume of amazing photographs from his experiences and some harrowing stories of death defying adventures. He’s an immensely talented photographer, click on this link to his portfolio at your own peril. You will lose yourself in his work, and you have been fairly warned.

Taken last week on my polaroid 600SE using Fuji 300b.

Shot last night in a downtown LA bar using same set up. 1/8 and 1/2 second respectively. I love this film.
