** The actual print is 5"X5" printed on an 8"X10" photo paper** I shot this in 1972 when I was only 10 years old in Watch Hill, R.I. I was using a Kodak Instamatic X 15 camera. I remember seeing this charter fishing boat called "The Bonita" coming into the harbor and docking close to the pedestrian foot traffic. I watched the men as they took the day's catch out of a cooler and packed the fish into plastic bags. This is when I walked up and asked if i could take a picture. The proud and eager fishermen complied with pleasure to show off their catch. I enjoy revisiting this moment every time i view this photograph and with the passing of time I especially find the muted colors pleasing along with the fashion of the day in August 1972. Each print is signed on the back in Pencil along with edition number and the date. **** Moda Monterotti is the photographer in June 2014 while doing street photography work in Los Angeles, Ca. and shooting the Actor Jonah Hill was verbally assaulted by the actor using the homophobic slur, " suck my dick you faggot." No apology was ever received from J.H. *****

Hi I'm Anthony "Moda" Monterotti , photographer in Los Angeles, Ca. I am the photographer in June 2014 while doing street photography work in Los Angeles, Ca. and shooting the Actor Jonah Hill as he then assaulted me with a homophobic slur. He called me a "faggot" and then said to me, " suck my dick you faggot". You can look all this up on TMZ, the link The disappointing and sad part about it all is that Jonah Hill made a public apology filled with lies about me to try and garner sympathy and get a pass for his homophobic outburst. It worked for him and to this day he has never apologized to me. here is the TMZ link to this event: Moving forward, I'm a serious photographer and artist. I studied Communication Arts Media at Framingham University Located just outside, Boston, Massachusetts and graduated in 1993, Cum Laude. I moved to Los Angeles, Ca. in 1995. I have a fundamental interest in the random people I meet on the streets of Los Angeles. A street portrait is very challenging but when you capture a thin slice of someone's essence, esp. after only a brief and random encounter, it becomes a lasting and fulfilling event. I normally ride thru the streets on a bicycle bc Los Angeles is so spread out. Riding a bicycle is a fantastic way to see things . Like others have said; recognizing those individuals who are overlooked by society feels like a bit of my personal legend. Street images don't usually make great wall art but I just loved being out there documenting with people. And in 1995 I began shooting head shots for actors using a Canon AE1 film camera. I have also done many weddings, VIP Events, portraits, and PR Images for celebrities. I have also shot well over 10,000 college portraits throughout Southern California . However my real passion was always on the streets shooting random people. I had 5 bicycles stolen and luckily onlyattacked on the streets once in 17 years of shooting street images. I shot my first photograph in the first grade with a plastic Diana camera that my Father gave to me. I still have my very first photo i shot with that Diana Camera in 1969 of two school girls running away from me in the school yard. My drawings are examples of late night stream of consciousness , like morning papers but not done with words and never attempted before the midnight hour. I collected them for over 15 years before ever showing any. I hung one on the wall one day and thought, hmm someone might like this.
