Stones Throw put together an exhibition of photos by B+ (aka Brian Cross) in late April. For those of us who were unable to attend, they’ve kindly posted the collection on their site and we’ve reposted them here for your convenience.
“B+ was raised in Ireland, and came to Los Angeles in 1990 to study photography at the California Institute of the Arts. In 1993, he released the classic hip-hop book, It’s Not about a Salary and from ’93-’97 worked as the photo-editor of Larry Flint’s ill-fated but highly influential Rappages Magazine.”
