01.24.93 – The Fluid | Hollywood Records

Have to say this was a fun and cold shoot.  I flew to Denver, CO from Los Angeles just to shoot The Fluid.  I was a big fan of the band from their Sub Pop Records days.  They put out a couple LPā€™s and some singles that I collected.  This shoot was for Hollywood Records.  I think it was for publicity and packaging.  Not 100% sure.

Since I was a fan and we had a lot of mutual friends back in Settle it made the shoot a lot of fun.  The lead singer John Robinson was fucking amazing.  The band and I just drove around Denver.  We shot at any location we could think of or get into.  My favorite was a city park that was covered in snow.  Shooting in the cold is not easy.  Your hands get so cold you canā€™t feel the camera.

Their first album for Hollywood Records was called PurpleMetalFlakeMusic.  It was a great package cuz it was purple and metal flake!!  Personally, it was super cool for me to shoot anyone or any band that was part of the SubPop Records history.  I collected everything single and LP I could get my hands on.
