Normal Bob Smith Invades Arizona
March 29, 2009
A few years ago, I stumbled across a strange fella by the name of Normal Bob Smith on the internet. At first, he was very strange artist that donned makeup to masquerade as Satan. After exploring his website, seeing him play around in Union Square (located in New York City) and in a section named “Amazing Strangers” which made me really discover the magic that is Normal Bob Smith’s website. He has very anti-religious views and has based his graphic artist career behind the mocking of primarily Christianity. But, his wit and creative artistry had me coming back.
In fact, NBS’s website was one of the first sites I ever felt the need to bookmark. Over the course of the next few years, I’ve explored the art, and later talked to Bob on Myspace. This lead up to Bob recently hiring me to photograph him while he flew in for ASU’s Freethought Society’s events.
I had the opportunity to use Boo’s Warehouse and really get some cool shots.


My friend Jordi offered to be the bride and she pulled it off well.

Probably my favorite of the bunch..

Then after the photo shoot was concluded, I decided to get an impromptu interview with Bob on my Mac Book Pro:
Thanks so much to Normal Bob Smith, Jordi, Levi, Amber, and Boo for all the help for making this shoot a rousing success! Until next time, this is Chaz.. poof!
