"I never really made any money and it certainly cost me more to take photographs than I got for them." ~ Dennis Hopper
"I like things that go into hidden, mysterious places, places I want to explore that are very disturbing. In that disturbing thing, there is sometimes tremendous poetry and truth." ~ David Lynch
Hiya, I am 12tenten, aka Dant.
I'm a street & landscape photographer who loves travel & live music. I've been very fortunate to live and explore in a lot of different cities around the US and Europe, but Southern California is home sweet home.
I photograph the things that I like to see and I don't worry about trying to please anyone other than myself. One must make Art for themselves and if you're lucky, someone else will see the beauty in it.
I've been taking pictures of weird places, strange people, and random things as far back as I can recall, but I've always been drawn to street photography and the adrenaline rush you get when snapping a stranger on the street in a foreign country. I really like to wander around solo in a new city, with a camera around my neck, and see what happens.
That being said, I am formally trained in all aspects of commercial photography including event, portraiture, products, real estate, landscape and pro lighting.
