Another test.

Random test shot, out the window.

Fuji FP100-C
150mm @ f5.6

Polaroid filmburn.

The Polaroid back has been getting pretty beat up lately, had to do a couple tests to see if the light seals are still working. Thought this came out pretty cool, I guess they expose blue when completely exposed to light?

Location mixup… New Orleans!

I realized that the portrait of Devon below was actually shot in New Orleans while going through other slides from the trip. So here he is again, labeled correctly with another shot of the scene.

Adam Hribar in Thrasher Magazine.

I was browsing through the new (Jan. 2010) issue of Thrasher Magazine this weekend and surprisingly found this sequence Hribar and I shot over the summer. While an amazing trick, it is also up there for one of the dumbest things I’ve seen someone try (and luckily succeed) skateboarding. It ran as a “Something Else” in the mag, which is pretty much how I explained, something out of the ordinarily crazy or stupid… In this case both. Regardless, glad you’re alive Hribar!

(Shot on a Nikon D2H @ is0400?)

New Focus is out, Brit Hawk – backside noseblunt

Check out the new issue of Focus, should be in most shops by now. Got to shoot this Table of Contents with Brit Hawk just before he moved to NYC. Hopefully he didn’t drop skating to ride fixies… Brit, if you’re reading this, I’m serious.

Website in the works…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted something, so if you’ve been visiting this on occasion, my apologies. My excuse is I’ve been working on a more formal website, picking some of my favorite shots from the past few years. In the meantime, check out Lucien Clarke below. We shot it on a trip to Boston in the Spring of 2009.

Here’s a preview of the site layout.

Motorcycle in Manayunk

Just ended up driving around in the hills of Manayunk today trying to skate… Didn’t shoot any skating but this bike was pretty cool.

Willy Akers: backside tailslide – Albany, New York. 2008.

Willy and I shot this during a Summer Tour (2008) with 5boro to Toronto – and stopping by Albany, New York on the way back. I shouldn’t have put a flash in the hole, thought it’d make it stand out… Instead I got the opposite result.

Bronica SQ-A
80mm

Lighting setup (from what I remember)
Q flash + 1xSB800 on the left, (Q on a stand, sb800 on the ground)
2x SB800’s on the right, 1 high, 1 low.
1x SB28 in the hole

View from the West: Philadelphia, Spring 2009.

Shot this sometime in the Spring of 2009… When every cloud didn’t mean a rainy day.
