Henry Hargreaves - No Seconds

In my photography I have always been fascinated by the mix of the mundane and the extraordinary. So I while was reading about efforts to stop the Last Meal tradition in Texas it sparked my interest. In the most unnatural moment there is (state sponsored death) what kind of requests for food had been made? In New Zealand (where I’m from), and in fact nearly any where else in the developed world, the Death Penalty is just not even in the conversation. It is a remnant of an earlier era. This little bit of civility, “hey we are going to kill you but what would you like to eat?” just jumped off the page. I felt it could be a really interesting idea to try to represent visually. Researching this topic strangely personalized these people for me and for a moment was able to identify with them through the common denominator of food.

Bink finally stopped bullshittin' and surprised us all by dropping the first verse off his upcoming debut 'PrettyBoy Problems' titled 'No Seconds'. The name holds true to its meaning, with Andy V. teasing us with literally one verse. This can also be a good thing though, since he's 'saying' he open to features on the final cut...I might have to take up that offer cause my nigga snapped.
