20 befuddling pictures of pizza, everywhere but where you'd expect
Everyone loves pizza.
Jonpaul Douglass is no different. The Los Angeles-based photographer was walking in his neighborhood one day when he saw a pizza tagged on a wall in his neighborhood that was usually covered in graffiti. First he laughed out loud. Then he got an idea.
Jonpaul began a series called "#pizzainthewild," placing pepperoni pies in a variety of areas, both urban and rural.
He likes to photograph the pizzas, which he gets them from Little Caesars, as fresh if he can, but admits that for certain situations he sometimes lets them sit in his trunk and get as hard as a rock.
In an interview with Heritage Radio, Jon remarked that "one of the great things about L.A. is that I can do this all day and people don't think twice of it. My friend and I were putting like 20 pizzas on just a lazy boy recliner on the sidewalk one day and so many people walked by without even turning their head." Speaking of humans, there's never any in his shots - making the shots seem even more surreal.
He's taken over 100 pizza photos for the series already. We selected 20 of his best and most unusual images.
Jonpaul lives in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles and often places pizzas around there.
Plenty of peacocks roam the neighborhood he lives in. The area, being centrally located, also allows him to easily travel around town.
He picks up pizzas two at a time, shoots, and then sticks them in the fridge in case another photo opportunity presents itself.
