I'm an artist, photographer and musician living in Santa Barbara County, California. I have several music projects including "Jaws", a rock project with former and current members of RKL, Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, Mad Caddies, King City & others. I also have a solo project tentatively called "1976". I record in my home studio which consists of gear & instruments I've collected in the past couple decades. Sometimes I produce, record, mix and write songs for other artists and friends. I shoot pictures using my Mamiya 6, Nikons D70 & F100 and a variety of esoteric 120 & 35mm film cameras (Agfa, Braun, Holga, Lomo). I also shoot moving pictures on a Canon HV20 and on my collection of 8mm cameras. I'm involved with several Websites/RSS feeds. A few of them are Liberation Media, Jaws Attacks!, Drunken Audible and SharkyTowers.com.
Here are a couple fantastic pictures taken from the Santa Barbara Harbor on July 4th. Amazing. Look for more of Ron Benson’s photos on his soon to be set-up Flickr feed.
