Our friends at Where Eagles Dare have an incredible interview with photographer (and, yes, father of Estevan) Eriberto Oriol that digs into his past, present, and future. Here’s an excerpt and the link:

Eriberto, thank-you so very much for taking the time to do this interview with us. Let’s hear some background and history behind yourself.

I was born in Indio, California but grew up in a community called Varrio Logan which is located in the city of San Diego. It was the most complex community in the state of California because of its heavy industrial waterfront. It was a community that was also split in half by a freeway and fractured by the San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge and surrounded by a military and conservative mentality with great overtones of racism. This was my real playground and which has had a great influence on my artwork to this day. I’ve lived half of my life in Los Angeles and came here to fully develop myself as an artist. I’m not a self-taught artist which I used to run as, although it sounds good, it as also a self centered ego and fake thing at the same time. We live in a world of people that are not in an isolated capsule. Our lives are influenced by many people and by our surroundings.

I have been a photo maker on and off for 30 years or so. I had an absent period for 15 years because I lost interest and wanted to just draw, paint and mess with sculpture. My son Estevan pulled me back into it because he wanted to do a father and son exhibit which took place at Shepard Fairey’s studio/gallery about 5 years ago. I resisted it at first because I didn’t want to look back at what I had shot in the past. Estevan recognized that’s where some of my strongest photos were and he was right. I was just beginning to shoot graffiti and that was becoming my main interest at that time.

The blue corn enchilada lady is equally notorious and ephemeral. You know grilled cheese truck and its tweets? Well, this lady ain’t having wi-fi nor a twitter account, so finding her is an awesome treat, pleasure and almost an honor since cops chase her business around town. So when you spot her, you better have plenty of cash ($2.50-$3 each) to indulge your cravings and support your community!

The common spots include Placita Olvera and Echo Park/Sunset Blvd. The typical fixings include: chicharrones, squash blossoms, chicken, potato, mushrooms, frijoles, chorizo and potato and huitlacoche (corn smut).

You choose whatever you want inside quesadilla and she starts shaping fresh blue corn tortilla from the masa, adds cheese and makes a quesadilla right on the stove in front of you. You can sprinkle it with queso, onions, cilantro and red and green salsa. Up to your liking, but be careful, that salsa is muy caliente!
