A Couple Words with Wesley Robert

Wesley Robert knows what's up. On top of taking nice photos he also puts out a really rad black and white photo journal tri-annually called Nowhere Fast. The first one sold out, but the next issue is almost done. Keep your eyes peeled!

Who: Wesley Robert O'Driscoll. I go by Wesley Robert as far as art goes... There's no real story behind that, sorry.



What: Photographs, candid, random, un-staged photographs. I do some collages and stuff, nothing worth talking about though, ha, let's just say I take pictures.



When: Whenever it makes sense, sometimes only when it doesn't make sense. You know... I carry a camera wherever I go, so it usually just works itself out... Daytime usually though, by nighttime I'm usually fairly forgetful.



Where: Anywhere I go is where I like to work from. I don't really go out to take photos, I just go enough places and have enough fun that I don't really have to go too far out of my way to get a picture... which may be why I hate 99% of all my shots, haha. I just live my life, day to day and bring a camera along. I'm pretty thankful for all the friends I have and the lifestyle choices I'm made, it makes for some alright footage.



Why: That's simple... all you really have in life is memories, and proof, I have shoe box after show box of both...



How: Point and shoots. t4's and stylus epics. I used to have a lot of fun with polaroids but that's slowing down. My dad gave me a nikon fg20 he used to use before I was born, I try to use it as much as I can too... film though, always, no digital.
