Lucky enough to have been a misfit teen during the dawn of punk rock,
Theresa Kereakes was in the right place at the right time, namely Los Angeles during the latter half of the 70s. Apparently, she photographed everyone who mattered- from the
Avengers to
X- and her archives span multiple blogs, including those dedicated to portraits of
men and
women,
early punks, and
things she find interesting when she goes out walking.
Now working as a cinematographer out of Nashville, TK continues to document the scenes she loves, and her photos continue to capture the intimate moments of often chaotic lives. Perhaps the best example of Theresa's aesthetic- and certainly our favorite- are the photos she took of the
Germs as they were just starting out.
Theresa Kereakes' photographs- very reasonably priced- are available for purchase
here.
