His late- 1970's work - capturing skateboarder Tony Alva and his fellow Dogtown skateboarders has achieved iconic status. Miller's now - infamous Freshjive Mad Dog Chronicles has been traveling the world in exhibitions, with extensive showings in Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles and New York.Early in his career, Miller chronicled a year in the life of a East Los Angeles street gang known as "Arizona Maravilla". He hung out with the gang, earner their trust and was allowed to photograph them on their own turf. This was a gang culture born on tradition and dedication, a far cry from today's Crips and Bloods.
