Billy Kraft is Sixteen and Lives in Illinois

This dude takes really awesome photographs. When I was sixteen I was too busy smoking pot and looking like a total retard.



Why did you start taking photographs?
I started taking photographs of my brother skateboarding a while back and the act evolved from there.

Tell me about where you are from in Illinois.
I live about an hour north of Chicago.



What the hell are these about:



Those are my attractive friends! My one friend has a basement with a huge projector screen as a television and we play XBOX for hours down there. When the projector is not receiving a source, the screen turns blue. They are in front of the projector screen. The camera used was a 10$ digital Vivitar camera that I purchased at a drugstore which is why it is low quality and grainy. I mean, you can't shoot all film, right? The dude in this photo is named Brett. 18154512199. Text him.

Has your mom seen your photostream? What does she think of it?
Actually she has! A direct quote from her regarding my photostream: "It's the best one". There you have it.



Are your photos inspired by anything in particular?
Nope.



For some reason I always think this is a Pro Wrestling match at first glance even though it is clearly a basketball game.



Are you into Pro Wrestling?
Pro Wrestling is insane. But I would rather browse Tumblrs than that. I think my bro took that photo, he would want credit. CREDIT GOES TO JIMMY.

Send me a photograph you've taken that isn't on the internet anywhere. I'm talking about some exclusive shit.




Exclusive shit attached. That came off a roll full of more exclusive shit that will remain exclusive because it's just shit. I hate bad rolls.

For more Billy Kraft check out his FLICKR, it's all sorts of awesome.
