Tom Trainer, About the Artist

I was born in Ohio but grew up and attended school in Los Angeles. In 
the early 80's I briefly attended Santa Monica City College where I 
studied photography. At this time the Hardcore Punk scene was thriving 
in L.A. Hollywood and the South Bay were the hot spots.

I feel lucky that I was able to photo document this slice of American 
music history. It felt good to be a starving artist, but eventually I 
got hungry. In 1986 I started my photo business, (Tom Trainer 
Photography). In 1991 I got married and moved back to Ohio where I still 
operate my photo business, which has expanded to include video services 
as well.

25 years have passed since the Heyday of the L.A. Hardcore Scene and 
this is the first formal showing of this work.
