Amoeba Music

A blue bike, giant inflated Ronald McDonald in San Francisco’s Chinatown, an Aussie waterslide, river scenes in Alabama, the Brooklyn Bridge, Paul Woods, a handful of cross-country tours, devilish nights, sex, drugs, madness–all caught on a plastic camera. Planet Ross, a collection of more than 100 Polaroids spanning the years 2002-2008, portrays moments from life on the road in Ross J. Farrar’s band Ceremony, alongside raw glimpses of San Francisco. With afterword by Jesse Miller-Gordon.

Ross John Farrar was born in San Francisco and spent much of his young adult life playing music in the band Ceremony. In his late twenties, he decided to go back to school, finishing his undergraduate at University of California, Berkeley, followed by an MFA in Poetry at Syracuse University. His work can be found in RHINO Poetry, Heartworm Reader, The Chaffey Review, Riprap Journal, and Canary. He has published one book, comprised of literary mixed media, Society Verse (Bridge9 Press, 2010), and one chapbook, The L-Shaped Man Poems (Matador, 2015) and Ross Sings Cheree & the Animated Dark (Deep Vellum 2021). Planet Ross is his first book of photographs.
