Grit - an introduction to the photography of
Jerry Aaron Hazard
1999 - 2006
Grit. The title istself has become a description of my style, a reference point for my eye, and even seems to have gained a legitimate "classification" in contemporary photography (like "Urban" or "Noir"). Although each page is intended to be consumed individually, GRIT is more a a singular "piece" than it is a collection of random images. Captured between 1999 and 2006, the book leads the viewer through urban enviros; street corners and billboards, and scribbling on walls. It will introduce you to people I've met, ideas/opinions I hold, and unrealities that I lose myself in from time to time. Secrets, manufactured truths, altered realities, bad times and personal triumphs.
