The second edition of the 2016 photography book Beyond South Central (Sweatlodge Publishing)is now available on amazon.com. The book is the result of the three years Ithaka Darin Pappas freelanced for Priority Records, capturing the primary imagery of N.W.A., documenting almost the entire lifespan of the group, from their obscure South Central beginnings to their meteoric rise to controversial super-stardom. This publication includes iconic images such as The Miracle Mile Shot, The Bleacher Shot, Backstage In Phoenix and also rarely seen candid images of Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, MC Ren, DJ Yella and The D.O.C.
In this short subject non-dialogue documentary, photographer Ithaka Darin Pappas reexamines "The Miracle Mile Shot", a picture he took of N.W.A. in 1988, that through the decades has become the defining image of N.W.A. in its prime. The photograph examined in the short, entitled "The Miracle Mile Shot", was made on November 11th 1988 and features Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, DJ Yella and MC Ren. The image began its existence being used as the official press image for NWA's triple-Platinum album, Straight Outta Compton (Priority Records). "The Miracle Mile Shot" is an individual photo from a series of pictures made that day (at the photographer's home apartment studio at 6516 1/2 Orange Street - Los Angeles) using a Hasselblad 500 CE camera with an 80mm lens and Norman lighting equipment. Throughout the decades, the image's relevance has continued to grow, being one of the only photos in existence clearly showing the faces of all members of the short-lived but highly influential group
