DOS & DON'TS

Hey kid, did you find out about “nu-rave fashion” via one-legged carrier pigeon? Not only did it suck in the first place, but the only person who’s still into it is your “cool” aunt who’s so proud of listening to M.I.A. Comments/Enlarge | See all


This awesome pile of trash looks like that 80s movie Times Square but with less codependence and more shots.

I’ve been photographing fighting roosters since 2000. The photos here were all shot between 2004 and 2006 in Mexico. The cocks are usually armed with surgical knives that are strapped on one or both of their legs. They use little ones—up to an inch long. Cockfighting is not legal there, but as with so many illegal things in Mexico, it’s still sort of allowed. That’s why I love Mexico so much.
