Photography: Lars K Takes Over The Hollywood Fishbowl

Lars takes over The Hollywood Fishbowl until The Fishbowl takes over the entire show and we answer its questions.

Welcome to Part II of our conversation with Dark Pinup Photographer, Lars Kommienezuspadt. In this episode, Lars takes over as host until he relinquishes power and cedes control to The Hollywood Fishbowl. When we do get to the bowl, we talk about The #MeToo movement, hiding places in LA and get a love letter from previous Fishbowl guest @iamkatefaust. As always, thank you for listening!

Photography: Lars K Brings Dark Pinup To Sunny Glendale

We sit down with Lars Kommienezuspadt to discuss the genesis of his Dark Pinup style of photography and how it grew into a lucrative, global career.

Lars Kommienezuspadt’s signature style of portrait photography combines traditional pinup innocence with a modern goth aesthetic. Captured using entirely incidental lighting, this style has garnered him a global career and a best-selling book (Dark Pinup, available from Working Class Publishing). He sat down with us in LA to talk about the genesis and evolution of his style as well as how he pieced his career together over the course of two decades. As always, thanks for listening!

Little Tokyo: Darin Maki Has Studied Divergent Timelines

Darin and Jesse have one thing in common - a deep,undying love of Back To The Future 2: The New Batch. From there, it’s all basketball, brand management and clothing manufacturing, all topics on which Darin is an expert and Jesse is not.

Darin just wanted to be good at basketball and here he is with his own clothing line. It wasn’t a straight line that got him from those early days of practice (and subsequent ability to dunk on some fools) to his pop-up shop in Little Tokyo. There were some detours to Asia, parties at Feria, a stint with an airline and, through it all, a fascination with paper cranes. What does this all have to do with Back To The Future 2: The New Batch? Listen and find out for yourself!
