Here’s a Monday Photo Blog that has been in the works for some time. But clearly worth the time, effort, and wait. The man with the master photo plan in Chicago, IL (is there any other?!), simply known as Milo, has sent us some color pics of some ragers to view in the safety of your home, or at work, or wherever it is that you peep this stuff.  Enjoy!!

David Ensminger, former editor of Left Of The Dial, is also responsible for interviewing some heavy hitters for this very zine. He’s also handy with the camera as I learned this weekend when I opened the email he sent over for this installment of the  Monday Photo Blog. Below are four photos from the recent Visual Virtriol in Houston, TX. Two nights of punk from the Houston, New Orleans, and surrounding vicininty held at Super Happy Funland. If you’re interested, David also has a book of punk flyers titled Visual Vitriol: The Street Art and Subcultures of the Punk and Hardcore Generation available here.
