The Gritty Jm Grimm

If you took the prom queen, dragged her through the gutter, got her hooked on the hard stuff, and pumped her full of attitude you'd still only be about half way to the level that Grimm brings out in his subjects.  Our fellow Bay Area photographer manages to capture the griminess without making it look as contrived as you see with others.  It makes you think.. Maybe these are just candid snapshots like you'd take at Christmas dinner but instead of turkey and stuffing we've got jack daniels, smut, and cigarettes on our plate.
