artist: Linda Ford, photographer
900 loft: 107
bio: A long-time 900 East First Street tenant, Linda is an award winning Los Angeles-based commercial photographer with over 11 years experience specializing in eclectic portraiture for editorial, corporate and entertainment clients.
After graduating from college she found herself working as a municipal bond trader for a major Wall Street firm. Realizing that her heart and soul belonged to photography, she took the leap of faith and quit her job and picked up her camera for good.
Besides assignment work, Linda works on various fine art projects. One of her award winning images, “Metropolis” is from her series entitled, “I Guess the Lord Lives in New York City”, featuring images of her old stomping grounds of Greenwich Village and lower Manhattan.
Linda has written and been featured in articles about marketing for photographers. She may reside in Venice California with 3 cats and many cameras, but 900 East First is home.

artist: Robert M. West (Bob)
900 loft: 213
subjects / styles: Minimalist and abstract expressionist
media: Acrylic, graphite and mixed media on canvas; digital prints; limestone sculpture
bio: ... Over the last five years, Bob's commercial focus has primarily been on graphic design for feature films and network television, along with web design. Recent film clients include Paramount's "The Italian Job", Twentieth Century Fox's "Down With Love" and MGM's sequel to "Get Shorty", "Be Cool", for which Bob designed nearly thirty album covers and posters.
Over the last few years, Bob has renewed his commitment to fine art, producing a new series of abstract paintings and minimalist drawings. These works expand on concepts of surface definition, minimal composition, weight and gesture that he has explored previously, as he experiments with new methods of presentation, especially for the drawings.
