Ghetto Bird

I stumbled across a couple guys as they were starting a little renegade transition spot. I shot a few photos and then went back to skating. Soon after a random citizen hero showed up and started taking cell phone photos of the "construction crew" and then a few minutes later a police helicopter was flying overhead. Keep in mind that this spot was in a weird industrial wasteland. It was crazy. Yet, if I remember correctly, they ran out of concrete and the authorities never did show up.

Been busy with family and shooting World Jr. hockey, so the posts have been lacking.
I've had a couple friends mention getting some DIY projects rolling recently, so while I'm busy hanging out with the face painter set this week, I think I'll post some DIY photos I took at 3rd and Army.
Up the water gap? Crazy!

Slam dunking donuts

If you're curious, this is how I manage to keep donuts on the table.

Suck it!

An open letter to the person who just hit my car in the parking lot and then drove away while I was buying donuts. Oh yeah, my tail light was always cracked like that. Oh, and for sure, the side of my car always had that huge fucking dent. And yeah, I totally have a thousand dollars just lying around for repairs right now. You suck! And oh yeah, I hope a garbage truck full of pig heads falls on your car.

Stressing

I was standing on a downtown corner a few weeks ago when I heard, " ... I'm a flight risk. I just did ten years ... " Dude keeps on walking by talking to his friend and I shoot a quick photo. It's probably the most scared I've been while shooting a photo in a long time.
Art?

That.
Sick.

Riot in the Rain

As it started to pour, I jokingly suggested Joe should do a flat ground 360 flip in the rain. Instead he stepped up and crushed the Big 4.
Wait, what? This is bananas!

The other day someone asked me what I was into outside of skateboarding and photography. I was at a bit of a loss. I don't know ... pie maybe?
Pan over to the mini, God damn it! No, not the handrail again. The mini right over there. In the corner. Yeah, point the camera over ... Son of a ... over there, the mini ... Arrgggh!!! You're killing me. I hope you know you're killing me Sylvan Lake.
So good!
Yep.
