There are many great photographers in Los Angeles. LAist isn't afraid to pick favorites, and our two favorite photographers right now are The Cobra Snake and Malingering.

We enjoy both of these artists because they celebrate LA fashion in a unique and sometimes hilarious way. The Cobra Snake uses fancy cameras and glamourous locations, whereas Malingering uses inexpensive equipment and photographs in very mundane places like Venice Beach and Third Street Promenade.

While Cobra Snake lets the viewer decide how we feel about the subjects and the fashion, Malingering aims at the ass crack and makes a crack in the description or title.

In the past one had to go to Flickr to see her work, but now the blog gods have shined down on us and Malingering has her own blog, (therealmalingering.com) filled with photos and descriptions and jokes and the blogosphere is better because of it.

All she needs now is comments, but because she is so controversial we can understand why no comments are on the blog -- for now.
