KCET’s Artbound blog has an interesting article by Oliver Wang called Record Collectors in Their Natural Habitats: Eilon Paz Photographs Vinyl Addicts in the Wild. Wang profiles photographer Eilon Paz about his successful Kickstarter photography project called Dust and Grooves.
Paz is out in Los Angeles as part of the West Tour "tour" for his Dust & Grooves (D&G) project. D&G began when Paz relocated from his home country of Israel to New York City in 2008.

As a record fanatic himself, Paz gravitated to other vinyl junkies and began with shooting Brazilian record collector and store owner Joel Oliveria four years ago…
What a fascinating idea for a photography project. I ought to hook him up with my son.
