Photographer Clara Balzary's Interview With Frank 151 [NSFW]
Photos by Clara Balzary
Frank 151 recently caught up with photographer Clara Balzary for an interview touching on topics about her start in photography, her style, not being credited for her work, and the connection to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Clara has shot campaigns for companies like Vans, Opening Ceremony, Urban Outfitters, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band's lead singer, Anthony Keidis, is Clara's godfather whom she credits for getting her started in photography when she received her first camera from him in elementary school.
Since she has been traveling her whole life, she has developed her own style, conjuring up feelings of living life as a free spirit. The interview also brings up the topic of the time she took photos of Kate Moss in which she was never given the proper credit for them. Check out some of her photos and head on over to Frank 151 for the rest of the interview.

Pete Nice: An MC's Photo Album Circa 1986-1991
In the mid-'80's and early '90s, the rap world was a fun time because of the potential the music had, and if you were alive in the early days you have seen the evolution to what it has become today. For a person like myself, the once up and comers in the game have gone on to become legends and have heavily influenced the artists we listen to now. During that time frame, you were getting a glimpse of the impact rap music would have on the world and how it would stamp its mark on popular culture.
For those of you that weren't alive to see this evolution and for those that want to take a trip down memory lane, I thought I'd share some photos from Peter Nash AKA Prime Minister Pete Nice of the group 3rd Bass. The photos are a collection of random photos from his rap career when he was hanging with Gilbert Gottfried on video sets with the likes of LL Cool J, Eazy E, Run DMC, and a host of others. It's a cool collection of photos that takes you back to the early days and is filled with many of Prime Minister Pete Nice's memories.
