I love photographing the LAPD. In August of 2000 The Democratic National Convention was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Ca. The Staples Center was brand new and had not even been open a year. The event brought in large crowds of people all protesting on different subjects. The LAPD had their hands full not only with crowd control but also with the large contingent of Police Brutality Protesters that also showed up. At most public events like this there is always a large group who come to directly protest against the police. From what I have witnessed the LAPD always do a great job at balancing it all out. I shot this image on black & white 35mm film. I added a small amount of sepia tone and surface blur on the digital print versions. **** Limited Edition **** #1 of 25 signed , dated on back in pencil. **** 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."

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 https://www.tmz.com/2014/06/03/jonah-hill-homophobic-slur-paparazzi-video/ 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: https://www.tmz.com/2014/06/03/jonah-hill-homophobic-slur-paparazzi-video/ 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.
