To be totally honest I have yet to meet Nick but his work is tight and I have to give props to anybody who is out there putting in the hours to get shots. The interview has shed some light for me on Mr. Adams and in the near future I hope meet him and for all of you I hope the interview and photos help you all to see what Nick has to offer to the photo community.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br />C; Name, age, occupation, location?<br /><br />N: Nick Adams, 25, Grad Student, Berkeley CA<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rBpWA6FR-Zg/Ta5TML8DT6I/AAAAAAAADS8/2C7tPZQGtII/s1600/Miles_Finished%2Bcopy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 304px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rBpWA6FR-Zg/Ta5TML8DT6I/AAAAAAAADS8/2C7tPZQGtII/s400/Miles_Finished%2Bcopy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502855696306082" border="0" /></a><br />C: How long have you been shooting skateboarding?<br /><br />N; I've been "seriously" shooting skating for somewhere around 3 years.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OusGSZ1osn0/Ta5S9cqKz7I/AAAAAAAADSM/LukOWakHS5g/s1600/Best_Image_3%2Bcopy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OusGSZ1osn0/Ta5S9cqKz7I/AAAAAAAADSM/LukOWakHS5g/s400/Best_Image_3%2Bcopy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502602486665138" border="0" /></a><br />C: Self taught, training give me some dirt in this area.<br /><br />N: Well I a good friend of mine growing up was/is a great photographer and skateboarder and he was constantly shooting us and that's how I got interested in shooting skating. I picked up a camera my freshman year of undergrad and was constantly calling him and asking questions if I didn't understand something in a book I was learning from. I studied art throughout my undergrad but there was no photography program and I really wanted formal training so I decided to work on my MFA in photography at The Academy of Art University. It has helped immensely! The professors sometimes don't quite understand skating and keep wanting me to have the skater "jump over the camera" but other than that I've learned a lot in the year I've been there.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4w3JIR0R4Ng/Ta5S9Fv6lkI/AAAAAAAADSE/6hJIsmnSYUk/s1600/AJ_Fishing_1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4w3JIR0R4Ng/Ta5S9Fv6lkI/AAAAAAAADSE/6hJIsmnSYUk/s400/AJ_Fishing_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502596336752194" border="0" /></a><br />C: What is the thing you think is the most important thing to think about when shooting at a spot?<br /><br />N: When I look at a spot the first thing I think is how am I going to make this a visually interesting photograph. Coming from an art background I don't simply focus on the trick and skater, I try, sometimes very unsuccessfully, to create an image that would be interesting and strong even if the skater was taken out of the shot.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2QDJ3LsK8uY/Ta5TWo7Tf6I/AAAAAAAADTU/RRj6eM7tPHc/s1600/Ted-Rooftop-Nose-Manual.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2QDJ3LsK8uY/Ta5TWo7Tf6I/AAAAAAAADTU/RRj6eM7tPHc/s400/Ted-Rooftop-Nose-Manual.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597503035276492706" border="0" /></a><br />C: The thing that gets you down about shooting skating?<br /><br />N: The thing that gets me down the most is when I feel I can not make the image visually interesting. I want to do the skaters, who are often my friends, justice with my images. It's also never fun to see a homie get broke off trying a trick especially if I had to ask them to do it again. Missing the shot is an ultimate bummer.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kJ-C4mVJ5xY/Ta5S-cGQc3I/AAAAAAAADSk/kCsEn6SFPMY/s1600/Chad-Back%2BTail%2BGap.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kJ-C4mVJ5xY/Ta5S-cGQc3I/AAAAAAAADSk/kCsEn6SFPMY/s400/Chad-Back%2BTail%2BGap.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502619515908978" border="0" /></a><br />C: The thing that gets you most hyped?<br /><br />N: Oh man, getting the shot definitely. Having your lighting dialed, trick is rad, location is interesting, and it all just comes together! Then you get to show your homie the shot and if they're stoked on it then it's all good! Then once you get the shot and show your homie the only reasonable thing to do after that is crack a brew to end the sesh!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zynjCmnzrN0/Ta5TLpQCGEI/AAAAAAAADSs/9gg6iiC-UYA/s1600/Frozen%2BShoe.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zynjCmnzrN0/Ta5TLpQCGEI/AAAAAAAADSs/9gg6iiC-UYA/s400/Frozen%2BShoe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502846384871490" border="0" /></a><br />C: Can you give us a break down of your gear?<br /><br />N: Well as of now I'm working with a Canon 40D, due for an upgrade but it's working for me so no complaints. Canon speedlites for skating and some cheap ass strobes and umbrellas for my portraits. I've used and still use my fair share of DIY gear and light modifiers, anything I can do to save a little bit of money.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PEsS1EHmwe8/Ta5S9rTSJWI/AAAAAAAADSU/IDFtmI7vcO8/s1600/Chad_Gate_Wallride.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PEsS1EHmwe8/Ta5S9rTSJWI/AAAAAAAADSU/IDFtmI7vcO8/s400/Chad_Gate_Wallride.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502606417208674" border="0" /></a><br />C: Film or digital or both?<br /><br />N: I would prefer to shoot stills of skating with film but as of now my gear and money are not up to par so I shoot digital.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P4iKejwflKM/Ta5S-FhjOEI/AAAAAAAADSc/MH5UiFazJDQ/s1600/Chad_KFwallride_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P4iKejwflKM/Ta5S-FhjOEI/AAAAAAAADSc/MH5UiFazJDQ/s400/Chad_KFwallride_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502613456369730" border="0" /></a><br />C: Tell us what a dream gig would be.<br /><br />N: That is such a hard question. I just want to shoot photos. I mean getting to shoot skateboarding and travel with some homies and skate and shoot and have my work published would be excellent.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gnmrkGtxqZU/Ta5TLywU64I/AAAAAAAADS0/q32edzxe_k4/s1600/In_Your_Country.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 273px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gnmrkGtxqZU/Ta5TLywU64I/AAAAAAAADS0/q32edzxe_k4/s400/In_Your_Country.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502848936242050" border="0" /></a><br />C: Are you submitting photos to places, mags, web, ect?<br /><br />N: As of now I just post things on the web, <a href="http://nickadamsphoto.blogspot.com/">nickadamsphoto.blogspot.com</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/irisimaging">flickr.com/photos/irisimaging</a>, I've submitted a couple things here and there but nothing crazy. I plan on submitting a lot of my work around different places soon.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2Ow6IimV_E/Ta5TW8tO-8I/AAAAAAAADTc/huMfPeXhyZA/s1600/TheBirds%2Bcopy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2Ow6IimV_E/Ta5TW8tO-8I/AAAAAAAADTc/huMfPeXhyZA/s400/TheBirds%2Bcopy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597503040586185666" border="0" /></a><br />C: If you played in a band what instrument would you rock?<br /><br />N: This is an awesome question. I used to be a HUGE metal head and played guitar for about 6-8 years or something like that. Guitar players are rad!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zS5Mea-qTxQ/Ta5TMkxfqHI/AAAAAAAADTM/nsUGToCHQgI/s1600/Subject%2BOutdoors%2BB%2526W%2Bcopy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zS5Mea-qTxQ/Ta5TMkxfqHI/AAAAAAAADTM/nsUGToCHQgI/s400/Subject%2BOutdoors%2BB%2526W%2Bcopy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597502862362912882" border="0" /></a><br />C: Ok brother that should do it. Thanks for taking the time to field some questions for the blog it was tight. Any shout outs?<br /><br />N: Gotta say YO to my brother Logan, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fnphotography" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.flickr.com/photos/fnphotography</a>, & to all my Central Ohio homies and the Lost Kause Crew who were my first test subjects, sorry for all the bad shots! My girl Sara for putting up with my constant stressing over shots and all the new homies I've met out here in Berkeley who I've annoyed with portraiture and asking "can you do it one more time?".

A ton of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">DIY</span> effort has gone into creating a destination for the local skating community to come and meet up to kick it as well as skate some pretty sweet terrain. The key to keeping this place <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ok</span> with all the city officials is cleanliness. No graffiti, no ruckus, and most of all not letting the place turn into a trash heap. Recently the folks over at 510 got people out to work on keeping the latter a reality. Clean up day held all the locals coming out to collect trash, skate, BBQ, and celebrate what it means to be responsible members of a community that wants to keep a classic <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">DIY</span> spot alive. I was proud to get out with my 3 kids and do my part to help. Here are a smattering of shots I was able to grab while I got down and dirty helping to keep the underground legit.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/22646925?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=0" width="398" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mn2yFMNjeqY/TaPOHC2scSI/AAAAAAAADRE/e_I3jR4UcJo/s1600/cleaning%2Bthe%2Bspot-14.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

This is a quick post that I'm going to get up here. It's basically a few photos I snagged yesterday while hanging with <a href="http://thepilestyle.com/">The Pile Style</a> crew. The crew was rolling deep and it was a full on media blitz. At the blue rail the cops rolled by and just asked us if we were filming a documentary, the answer was yup. Well carry on then.The last spot of the session was 61st and Hollis. There was consistently a fool working an obstacle that put them in traffic and we must have said "Ok your good after this Honda!" about 15 times, damn whats with all the Honda's?<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-enJ1msOSvKw/TXPvXdmNhfI/AAAAAAAADOE/uLoyJ_o6cwY/s1600/piles-2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-enJ1msOSvKw/TXPvXdmNhfI/AAAAAAAADOE/uLoyJ_o6cwY/s400/piles-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581067549603104242" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pKfglJdSInM/TXPvXCkaU1I/AAAAAAAADN8/2OZzOXIi9Uk/s1600/piles.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pKfglJdSInM/TXPvXCkaU1I/AAAAAAAADN8/2OZzOXIi9Uk/s400/piles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581067542347797330" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBZiVlWjy_Y/TXPvWUtB7sI/AAAAAAAADNs/JPgUQh6dUE0/s1600/piles-3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBZiVlWjy_Y/TXPvWUtB7sI/AAAAAAAADNs/JPgUQh6dUE0/s400/piles-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581067530035916482" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--MORmatPojc/TXPvW477T6I/AAAAAAAADN0/Frj6k3EbMK0/s1600/piles-4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--MORmatPojc/TXPvW477T6I/AAAAAAAADN0/Frj6k3EbMK0/s400/piles-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581067539762073506" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xdsdg7yBHsE/TXPxPdKhvVI/AAAAAAAADOM/q6d4efvK3-A/s1600/mike%2Bfing%2Baround.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 173px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xdsdg7yBHsE/TXPxPdKhvVI/AAAAAAAADOM/q6d4efvK3-A/s400/mike%2Bfing%2Baround.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581069611071290706" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-21246181912961805532011-02-28T21:04:00.000-08:002011-02-28T21:17:38.840-08:00Back In HereYea kinda been stackin a few waiting to get a post up and I guess now is as good a time as any. The new header is probably my fave of the most recent set, but they all feel decent to me and that will do for the blog. You know what I hate? When you are out on a shoot and you come up short. You think you are good then your batteries die and you realize you failed to buy fresh ones. Guilt sets in. Folks are ready to get down and you are coming up short. Live and learn I guess. Boy Scout motto: Be prepared, damn I know that one...till next time.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UWt4nBmgHiQ/TWx_vidDPSI/AAAAAAAADNM/xLqldjTlkgY/s1600/chris%2B5-0.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UWt4nBmgHiQ/TWx_vidDPSI/AAAAAAAADNM/xLqldjTlkgY/s400/chris%2B5-0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578974493084433698" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OTDqm4QLxvk/TWx_v84cdDI/AAAAAAAADNU/jPhXbKsjUgQ/s1600/chris%2Bwallie.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OTDqm4QLxvk/TWx_v84cdDI/AAAAAAAADNU/jPhXbKsjUgQ/s400/chris%2Bwallie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578974500178654258" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2gRwDOESwY/TWx_v-QKffI/AAAAAAAADNc/PR5s4cA_rbk/s1600/noah%2Bgap%2Bdrop%2Bstill.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2gRwDOESwY/TWx_v-QKffI/AAAAAAAADNc/PR5s4cA_rbk/s400/noah%2Bgap%2Bdrop%2Bstill.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578974500546575858" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-88BCdXjc1oo/TWx_wVL5qYI/AAAAAAAADNk/qFf4zUTil94/s1600/noah%2Bdrop%2Bgap%2Bsequence.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-88BCdXjc1oo/TWx_wVL5qYI/AAAAAAAADNk/qFf4zUTil94/s400/noah%2Bdrop%2Bgap%2Bsequence.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578974506702711170" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-41462066564415324812011-02-24T21:08:00.000-08:002011-02-25T09:41:12.282-08:00Kyle Camarillo SpotlightI can remember meeting Kyle on an early fall morning at the Richmond skate plaza. I had shown up to meet with some homies and go and shoot some photos, Richmond was a good location that was convenient and warm up there is always fun. Kyle was working with Karl Watson on a project that we will touch on in the interview. I approached him and wasn't sure how it would go but I'm the type to just get in there and hope to meet another photographer that is good people and what do you know Kyle was one of those guys. Time passed and it wasn't till One In A Million that it hit me, hey I should do an interview with Kyle. Here we are. Kyle works both as a photographer and <a href="http://getcreepy.com/videography/">videographer</a> and he is good at both. So take a few and check out how Kyle Camarillo gets stuff done.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><br />C: Name, age, occupation, location<br />K: Kyle Camarillo, 26, videographer/photographer, San Francisco<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eSmFun8vtwk/TWc-n1yLpNI/AAAAAAAADMc/i9looh1oTzY/s1600/Jason_Adams_fsair_channel_barrier_edot2_DSC_5953.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eSmFun8vtwk/TWc-n1yLpNI/AAAAAAAADMc/i9looh1oTzY/s400/Jason_Adams_fsair_channel_barrier_edot2_DSC_5953.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577495517695026386" border="0" /></a><br />C: How long have you been shooting skating?<br />K: For fun with the homies since 1997, professionally since around 2001.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--VAmcypKnqM/TWc-nbHDkvI/AAAAAAAADMM/fJF0N-VGdkk/s1600/Nestor_bsts_ditch_sanbernadino_DSC_2207.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--VAmcypKnqM/TWc-nbHDkvI/AAAAAAAADMM/fJF0N-VGdkk/s400/Nestor_bsts_ditch_sanbernadino_DSC_2207.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577495510534820594" border="0" /></a><br />C: Do you remember how and or what got you into shooting skating?<br />K: Just fun. Really it was just cause I was the one who's dad had the video camera. So I got to borrow it and we would all film each other. I think after I saw "Feedback" is when I got really interested.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tAGCT3hn2AI/TWc-nW0M0pI/AAAAAAAADME/c3aA2f6SCCg/s1600/Keegan_Sauder_fs_smith_cliffhouse_ledge_DSC_1570_edit2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tAGCT3hn2AI/TWc-nW0M0pI/AAAAAAAADME/c3aA2f6SCCg/s400/Keegan_Sauder_fs_smith_cliffhouse_ledge_DSC_1570_edit2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577495509381993106" border="0" /></a><br />C: Apprenticeships, formal training, or just get dirty and learn as you go?<br />K: I worked at Visalia Skatecamp as their first video intern. It was a rad idea/opportunity that the camp director, Dave Metty, came up with. Its still going to this day. It was a really cool learning experience and opened a lot of doors for me.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mVyGdFDVUSo/TWc-nhtML3I/AAAAAAAADMU/bgBtA7ke3d8/s1600/Ben_Raemers_bstailslide_brickbanks_DSC_5042_edit2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mVyGdFDVUSo/TWc-nhtML3I/AAAAAAAADMU/bgBtA7ke3d8/s400/Ben_Raemers_bstailslide_brickbanks_DSC_5042_edit2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577495512305381234" border="0" /></a><br />C: I met you shooting with Karl Watson for <a href="http://www.l-r-g.com/">LRG</a>, that's legit. How do you hook up gigs like that?<br />K: I edited LRG's video "Give Me My Money Chico". They were still interested in working with me when that was done so I started by shooting the photos for the "<a href="http://www.l-r-g.com/stopmotion">stop motion start skating</a>" ads.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/19157994?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=00a950" frameborder="0" height="225" width="400"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/19157994">Give Me My Money Chico | Jack Curtin</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/lifted">LRG</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />C: Are you traveling much to get material or covering events?<br />K: Not too much at the moment. It was the end of the year so travel budgets are usually thin. I went down to LA a few times. Once to film the LRG United Nations for the berrics, and another time to film a demo and shoot with Tom Asta.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N6VD0yvfnWs/TWc_D2OmmOI/AAAAAAAADMs/xRUTkIAgkTA/s1600/Halba_varial_heel_scottditch_DSC_2126.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N6VD0yvfnWs/TWc_D2OmmOI/AAAAAAAADMs/xRUTkIAgkTA/s400/Halba_varial_heel_scottditch_DSC_2126.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577495998850570466" border="0" /></a><br />C: What is one of the the things that gets you most hyped on a shoot?<br />K: I guess when everything works out. Quickly and painlessly.

Nothing better to do that tackle some business that has been put off way too long. After working all day yesterday we took a break in the evening and smashed out to Santa Rosa to the new White Label Ltd warehouse to be part of the first art event there. Stuart had put together a sweet line up of celebrity couple illustrations for viewing and purchase. A bunch of the homies came out and Drew showcased his video work and everybody had a good old time. Look forward to more events like these. Keep an eye on the <a href="http://www.whitelabellimited.com/">WLLM</a> site for all kinds of dope stuff skate and art related.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ofsj9Ao3_fg/TWFfXtg-kWI/AAAAAAAADK0/iGf9i-lQPyk/s1600/WLLM%2Bshow-6.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

This past Thursday Steven, Kevin, Noah, and myself got to go out on a super nice spring day. We hit a few spots and managed to get some sweet photos. Sessions with these guys are always the best. Ninja was in the mood to handle some business and got down on a spot I have been wanting to get a shot at for a while. The rail jump got me super hyped! Thanks to good weather, the bay area, and friends!!<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n41KgSVoRhI/TVYr4TdNpLI/AAAAAAAADI0/-gAfyctZFXA/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n41KgSVoRhI/TVYr4TdNpLI/AAAAAAAADI0/-gAfyctZFXA/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572689835213038770" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NsgeKRay84w/TVYsE1Jm7cI/AAAAAAAADJU/nvB1AYmbxOA/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-7.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NsgeKRay84w/TVYsE1Jm7cI/AAAAAAAADJU/nvB1AYmbxOA/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572690050416045506" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PrLOMSKYEDE/TVYr42ihRiI/AAAAAAAADJE/_K8dTuSHwfI/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PrLOMSKYEDE/TVYr42ihRiI/AAAAAAAADJE/_K8dTuSHwfI/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572689844630537762" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XVnhsXI1qY0/TVYsFieDFiI/AAAAAAAADJs/PWQEvZp0BZs/s1600/noah%2Bcarve%2Bbw.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XVnhsXI1qY0/TVYsFieDFiI/AAAAAAAADJs/PWQEvZp0BZs/s400/noah%2Bcarve%2Bbw.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572690062581372450" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_964LE8OLe4/TVYr5eEv53I/AAAAAAAADJM/lt_z1ZVL4As/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-6.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_964LE8OLe4/TVYr5eEv53I/AAAAAAAADJM/lt_z1ZVL4As/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572689855243085682" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CjT8g32I-14/TVYsFedgvsI/AAAAAAAADJk/SBPsXnk3sXM/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-9.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CjT8g32I-14/TVYsFedgvsI/AAAAAAAADJk/SBPsXnk3sXM/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572690061505380034" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sOyDpsDzki8/TVYr4nL7zfI/AAAAAAAADI8/5V757GP7Xvs/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sOyDpsDzki8/TVYr4nL7zfI/AAAAAAAADI8/5V757GP7Xvs/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572689840509275634" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oumaA43CKZk/TVYr4Cfl1LI/AAAAAAAADIs/LGiRhUSBXyk/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oumaA43CKZk/TVYr4Cfl1LI/AAAAAAAADIs/LGiRhUSBXyk/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572689830659609778" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-THCsooYfjAs/TVYsFMvqY2I/AAAAAAAADJc/3xWC_aQWOow/s1600/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-8.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-THCsooYfjAs/TVYsFMvqY2I/AAAAAAAADJc/3xWC_aQWOow/s400/ninja%2Band%2Bgypsie_-8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572690056749671266" border="0" /></a><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/19735923?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="398" height="299" frameborder="0"></iframe>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-75964984994005531392011-02-06T09:53:00.000-08:002011-02-06T10:04:49.661-08:00Brad And BoardertownThis is a short and sweet one.

I have to say when I first saw th the Chad Tim Tim part I got super hyped and knew one day I would hit him up and see if he would be down to be here, and shablam here he is. So with out much more ho ha here it is the Ricki B interview complete with clips. If for some crazy reason you have not seen this footage here it is along with a few choice clips that he has put together. Keep an eye on his <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1019706">Vimeo page</a> to see whats crackin with a man who knows the deal.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br />C: Name, age, occupation, location?<br />R: Ricki Bedenbaugh AKA "The Dude", or just plain "Dude"<br />38. Damn am I that old. Can I lie and just say 25?<br />Element Filmer/Editor<br />Long Beach, California<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/13888292" frameborder="0" height="265" width="400"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/13888292">"TRIO" CHAD TIM TIM (PART 1 OF 3)</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1019706">Ricki Bedenbaugh</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />C: About how long have you been doing videography?<br />R: Started in 1995 so 16 years<br /><br />C: How did this line of work come about for you?<br />R: Got sick of working a 9 to 5 in Florida. Moved out to California, stayed with Kris Markovich and his family. Filmed with Kris every single day and with the help from him and his family a lot of doors opened up. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for him and his family. There's no way I could ever thank them enough.<br /><br />C: It looks like you do a lot of work for Element, are you a go to guy for that team?<br />R: Yeah, you could say that. After 411VM went out of business, Element hit me up and ask if I were interested in working for them. 3 years later, still at Element. Filming with all the guys on Element is like filming with my best friends. I love those dudes.<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/13891473" frameborder="0" height="265" width="400"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/13891473">"TRIO" LEVI BROWN (PART 2 OF 3)</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1019706">Ricki Bedenbaugh</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />C: Do you have formal training or just getting out there and figuring it out?<br />R: Nope. No training, I basically came out to California and picked up a camera and started filming. I got into editing through a job I got for a local TV show in San Diego called S.T.V. (Skate, Surf, Snow Television). It was ran by Benji Weatherly (professional surfer) parents. I met them at a party they had for Benji. I got really drunk and did a little freestyle for Benji while Blink 182 played. His mom asked me what I was doing there, so I told her I was looking for a job as a skateboarding filmmaker. She told me about their TV show and said they needed someone to do the skateboarding section. 2 weeks later I was working for STV with no editing experience and hardly any filming experience. I just learned along the way.<br /><br />C: The TRIO project was so dope. When I first saw Chad Tim Tim's part I got hyped. Love all those intros. About how long to get something like that done from start to finish?<br />R: Chad's intro took about 2 days from start to finish. Filming and editing. We both had everything written out. So we knew what we wanted his intro to be like<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/13893425" frameborder="0" height="265" width="400"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/13893425">"TRIO" DARRELL STANTON (PART 3 OF 3)</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1019706">Ricki Bedenbaugh</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />R: Levi's took a bit longer, just to get all the different shots of him with a map in different locations. I carried that damn map around with me everywhere we went for a couple of months. If I saw something I liked we would shoot a map shot. Editing probably took a few days.<br /><br />R: Darrell's took about a week. I'd shoot at his house in the morning and skate in the afternoon. Then I would bring home the footage lay it out, and notice shots I should of got. So the next day I'd go back to his house to get the shots. Luckily all the guys lived with in 2 miles of my house.<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/11287254" frameborder="0" height="225" width="400"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/11287254">Darrell Stanton "TRIO" Trailer</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1019706">Ricki Bedenbaugh</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />Once you get all the clips in order it usually doesn't take that long to put the puzzle together.<br /><br />C: What kinds of things do you enjoy doing when not filming or editing?<br />R: Man honestly, filming/editing takes up so much of my time. A lot of times I just want to hang out with my girl and do nothing.<br />I have a couple Triumph Motorcycles, I'm restoring 1 of them so whenever I have free time I try to work on it. Photography too, its a hobby of mine that I've always loved.<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/7744845" frameborder="0" height="300" width="400"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7744845">SOLE TRAILER FEATURING DARRELL STANTON</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1019706">Ricki Bedenbaugh</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />C: Are most of the skaters you work with ok with taking time to set up for sweet angles, you know with sliders, tripods, ect?<br />R: I'm the King of asking dudes to do things "1 more time" so setting up isn't what bothers them, it's getting them to do things twice is what bugs them.<br /><br />C: Who inspires you to keep doing what you do?<br />R: The skaters and all the guys that have been doing it as long as I have. Ty Evans, Chris Ray and Jon Holland at TWS, French Fred, Dan Wolfe, Greg Hunt, Kirk Dianda, man there are so many guys that are so good at what they do. Guys like Ty and Spike, pretty much anything they do is going to be brilliant. Collin Kennedy, he's always been one of my favorites.<br /><br />C: Any thing on the horizon we should keep an eye out for?<br />R: I'm working on a AM Video for Element right now. We've been filming for about 6 months, it should be out by June, but we all know how skate videos deadlines are.<br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/18541041" frameborder="0" height="225" width="400"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/18541041">Quattro's 2nd Angle Totally Slow Motion High Definition edit.</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1019706">Ricki Bedenbaugh</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br />C: Any advice you might give to filmmakers out there?<br />R: I moved out to California with a High School education and no experience in filming or editing. I knew I didn't want to go back to Florida and work in some warehouse again. If you want something bad enough you'll work your ass off to get it. Hell, if I can do this for over 15 years anybody can.<br /><br />C: Thanks so much for your time, and for answering my questions. Any shout outs before we sign off?<br />R: Man this list could go on forever, basically everyone that has helped me out with advice, filming, editing, money, and life in general.<br />Especially Kris Markovich and his loving Family.christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-60705068686093050792011-01-29T22:26:00.000-08:002011-01-30T16:48:30.987-08:00Mash Up Round TwoAs I had mentioned before last weekend I gathered quite a few images.

Right now news to report is that I will primarily be shooting on weekends so content will be a little less frequent. This past Friday and Saturday I was able to generate some shots and I'm going to break it up into two posts. The content will not necessarily have a time table or anything like that its just going to be a mash up. Thanks to all the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">homies</span> that go out with me to shoot, super appreciate it. Oh and the blog is having some technical difficulties and there fore will lack a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">header</span> image, lame! I'm going to square it away asap.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6dQd9vTI/AAAAAAAADEo/PuoOPgVLyBY/s1600/stills%2Bagain.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6dQd9vTI/AAAAAAAADEo/PuoOPgVLyBY/s400/stills%2Bagain.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565528251322711346" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6dCJ5reI/AAAAAAAADEg/JRCS58fZ-0U/s1600/back%2B50%2Bgap%2Bout.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 162px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6dCJ5reI/AAAAAAAADEg/JRCS58fZ-0U/s400/back%2B50%2Bgap%2Bout.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565528247480462818" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6eP20bYI/AAAAAAAADE4/yaHj16d3YlA/s1600/stills-3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6eP20bYI/AAAAAAAADE4/yaHj16d3YlA/s400/stills-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565528268338392450" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6dpwcAQI/AAAAAAAADEw/jBfd7o1DkRg/s1600/stills%2Bagain%2Bmore-2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6dpwcAQI/AAAAAAAADEw/jBfd7o1DkRg/s400/stills%2Bagain%2Bmore-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565528258111078658" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6eQOXLOI/AAAAAAAADFA/IK5UEnH-zk4/s1600/stills%2Bagain-2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTy6eQOXLOI/AAAAAAAADFA/IK5UEnH-zk4/s400/stills%2Bagain-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565528268437138658" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTzEa_ZVhbI/AAAAAAAADFI/GxMm5GFkpks/s1600/2%2Bmore.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTzEa_ZVhbI/AAAAAAAADFI/GxMm5GFkpks/s400/2%2Bmore.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565539207496435122" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-46784039565203537932011-01-18T21:25:00.000-08:002011-01-18T21:37:15.655-08:00A Great Day To SkateThis past weekend I rounded up the crew and set off on what was shaping up to be a great January day. The sun was out and weather was shaping up to be unseasonably warm. We headed out to a rail in Castro Valley and got some stuff done. At the end of the day got a few from the "golden time". Both Jon and Augie are getting together sponsor me tapes. Keep an eye out for clips from this day on those , bangers for sure! Check it out.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ2__KCKrI/AAAAAAAADBo/nQi8d2ia7xo/s1600/jon%2Bback%2Bdip.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ2__KCKrI/AAAAAAAADBo/nQi8d2ia7xo/s400/jon%2Bback%2Bdip.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765231320181426" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3OvbWsjI/AAAAAAAADCY/x0cxydIrFTU/s1600/augie%2Bsmith.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3OvbWsjI/AAAAAAAADCY/x0cxydIrFTU/s400/augie%2Bsmith.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765484795900466" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3A06W9wI/AAAAAAAADCA/2kFdDAP04Jk/s1600/augie%2Bfeeble.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3A06W9wI/AAAAAAAADCA/2kFdDAP04Jk/s400/augie%2Bfeeble.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765245749950210" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3AcsFOLI/AAAAAAAADB4/eIhSjd5tz-A/s1600/broke%2Baugie.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3AcsFOLI/AAAAAAAADB4/eIhSjd5tz-A/s400/broke%2Baugie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765239247616178" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3OHFma7I/AAAAAAAADCI/A3NhJ-giRX8/s1600/throw%2Bdown.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3OHFma7I/AAAAAAAADCI/A3NhJ-giRX8/s400/throw%2Bdown.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765473967238066" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3Of6c2qI/AAAAAAAADCQ/mOWGqgMIrdM/s1600/pump.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3Of6c2qI/AAAAAAAADCQ/mOWGqgMIrdM/s400/pump.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765480631360162" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3APWt0xI/AAAAAAAADBw/i6f6PNt_Y70/s1600/Jon%2BPerez.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ3APWt0xI/AAAAAAAADBw/i6f6PNt_Y70/s400/Jon%2BPerez.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765235668341522" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ2_o9GVCI/AAAAAAAADBg/K87VH2tll_Y/s1600/chad.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TTZ2_o9GVCI/AAAAAAAADBg/K87VH2tll_Y/s400/chad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563765225360348194" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-54782888824123175182011-01-15T09:56:00.000-08:002011-01-15T10:07:39.007-08:00Bro's From San DiegoJust had a chance to meet up with my homie Andrew yesterday.

Here is a little ginger homie I came up with today. A rough drawing to scan to photoshop. I have been super inspired by some flickr friends who are illustrators as of late. This style is fun and I think this guy will re appear from time to time putting down some raw tricks. Anybody got some name ideas?<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TS-YvQ1NzvI/AAAAAAAADAw/G66FqQS_FjE/s1600/rough%2Bguy%2Bstanding.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TS-YvQ1NzvI/AAAAAAAADAw/G66FqQS_FjE/s400/rough%2Bguy%2Bstanding.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561832002565295858" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TS-YvMyhhBI/AAAAAAAADAo/b8Yc3tua_nc/s1600/front%2Bfeeb%2Bguy%2Brough.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TS-YvMyhhBI/AAAAAAAADAo/b8Yc3tua_nc/s400/front%2Bfeeb%2Bguy%2Brough.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561832001480262674" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TS-YuryE11I/AAAAAAAADAg/48nuvCvKzZ0/s1600/color%2Bguy%2Bskate.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TS-YuryE11I/AAAAAAAADAg/48nuvCvKzZ0/s400/color%2Bguy%2Bskate.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561831992620013394" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-26156569860797609632011-01-09T12:12:00.000-08:002011-01-09T18:09:25.521-08:00Fog CityPretty stoked I finally took the initiative to get a crew together and hit a couple of spots I have been wanting to get to for a while. Daily City was the town and the crew was Noah to film, Jon P, Augie, Andy, we also met up with some of the <a href="http://oulksrose.com/">OULK</a> crew. Eddie, Kevin and Steven rolled out and we all had a kick ass time. Jon had a mission and got broke working on a nollie krook at a 10 stair. Bummer, he is determined and will go back and get it. Augie really shined and was the man with the moves at Jefferson. All in all a great day.<br /><br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SNaWVVEbS6Y?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SNaWVVEbS6Y?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogl1AMLwI/AAAAAAAADAI/_wumlHgbneI/s1600/ninja%2Bboard.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogl1AMLwI/AAAAAAAADAI/_wumlHgbneI/s400/ninja%2Bboard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560292524197424898" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSohbaoZfXI/AAAAAAAADAY/Q_73WDEus1s/s1600/jon%2Bnollie%2Bkrook.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSohbaoZfXI/AAAAAAAADAY/Q_73WDEus1s/s400/jon%2Bnollie%2Bkrook.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560293444831247730" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogbQQrVtI/AAAAAAAAC_g/QVjpW-pe4uM/s1600/augie%2Bpop%2Bover%2Bseq.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 204px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogbQQrVtI/AAAAAAAAC_g/QVjpW-pe4uM/s400/augie%2Bpop%2Bover%2Bseq.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560292342535771858" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogb7GNhuI/AAAAAAAAC_o/cGxip4jmO50/s1600/broke%2Boff%2Bseq.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogb7GNhuI/AAAAAAAAC_o/cGxip4jmO50/s400/broke%2Boff%2Bseq.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560292354034599650" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSohbKSitTI/AAAAAAAADAQ/VM9n7ETSEFs/s1600/blunt%2Btransfer%2Baugie.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSohbKSitTI/AAAAAAAADAQ/VM9n7ETSEFs/s400/blunt%2Btransfer%2Baugie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560293440444609842" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogc4Eb91I/AAAAAAAADAA/IbibWQohimQ/s1600/ninja%2Bsmith.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogc4Eb91I/AAAAAAAADAA/IbibWQohimQ/s400/ninja%2Bsmith.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560292370401720146" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogcSbshOI/AAAAAAAAC_4/lU_IW0bpLB8/s1600/eddie%2Bkrook.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogcSbshOI/AAAAAAAAC_4/lU_IW0bpLB8/s400/eddie%2Bkrook.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560292360298726626" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogcaT7TtI/AAAAAAAAC_w/1fwiownIh_Y/s1600/augie%2Bbacktail.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogcaT7TtI/AAAAAAAAC_w/1fwiownIh_Y/s400/augie%2Bbacktail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560292362413625042" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogJrPcBtI/AAAAAAAAC_Y/2l9Im2J2Mjg/s1600/augie%2Bfeeble%2B5050%2Bseq.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 176px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TSogJrPcBtI/AAAAAAAAC_Y/2l9Im2J2Mjg/s400/augie%2Bfeeble%2B5050%2Bseq.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560292040540686034" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-64264306725127723132011-01-04T10:05:00.000-08:002011-01-04T10:10:33.258-08:00Post Holiday PostFinally got my head on straight after a holiday of excess.

I also feel like the photography has progressed to a different level. I was able to host a ton of artists and fellow photographers and give a bunch of local rippers a place to see some of their skating out there. I owe everybody who helped me out this year a HUGE thanks and much gratitude, all you guys and gals rock!! I can only hope 2011 will be as fruitful but no matter what "we out here!!" On to a photo recap.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TR4akD_wcrI/AAAAAAAAC74/m1QItQiTdKs/s1600/augie%252Btruck%252B%252B621.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I had this idea for a fave character of mine lurkin in some White Label Limited gear and here it goes. First a quick pencil sketch, then a bit of ball point, a quick scan, then into Photoshop for a paint job. If you haven't had a chance get over to <a href="http://www.whitelabellimited.com/">WLLM</a> and check out the goings ons...good stuff also if you don't know who SpongeBob is then, I don't know what to say.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRrBpnK47BI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/wTc24Wg3Or8/s1600/WLLM.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRrBpnK47BI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/wTc24Wg3Or8/s400/WLLM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555966010948381714" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRrBp9y4HII/AAAAAAAAC7Y/WZNdmdj3Fjc/s1600/WLLM%2Bcolor.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRrBp9y4HII/AAAAAAAAC7Y/WZNdmdj3Fjc/s400/WLLM%2Bcolor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555966017021680770" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-83088297160825750472010-12-24T12:15:00.000-08:002010-12-24T13:44:30.202-08:00You Can't Hold Me DownThe sun comes out, hop on the phone, and get some photos. Hit up Jon to see if he was game to get out and get some stuff done. He said yes and we were on our way to CCC. He has been wanting to film big spin front board so that was the first objective. A brand new board met its demise 7 tries later. Bend it back up and give it another go. Break that board again!! AAAAARGH! Call Karl Watson to see about getting another board to give it a go some other time. Karl says lets get it done so he swoops out. Build that bad boy and as the light is just about gone get it done! While we wait for Karl get some lifestyle shots. A year end wrap up will follow this post to wrap up a sweet 2010.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUEJ2NmJVI/AAAAAAAAC6s/hc01NEU7p2g/s1600/break%2B1%2Bseq.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUEJ2NmJVI/AAAAAAAAC6s/hc01NEU7p2g/s400/break%2B1%2Bseq.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554350282649249106" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUEKN0a9II/AAAAAAAAC60/p9B-WcEIzXs/s1600/break%2B2%2Bseq.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 304px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUEKN0a9II/AAAAAAAAC60/p9B-WcEIzXs/s400/break%2B2%2Bseq.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554350288986109058" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUGERBiBiI/AAAAAAAAC7E/qf5KmwojBFg/s1600/steezy%2Blifestyle.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUGERBiBiI/AAAAAAAAC7E/qf5KmwojBFg/s400/steezy%2Blifestyle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554352385790445090" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUEKc2lCeI/AAAAAAAAC68/JPvY-Fo685A/s1600/jon%2Bsequence%2Bbfb.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 244px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TRUEKc2lCeI/AAAAAAAAC68/JPvY-Fo685A/s400/jon%2Bsequence%2Bbfb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554350293021690338" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-27259446566030105172010-12-17T19:57:00.000-08:002010-12-17T20:05:22.956-08:00Going Nowhere FastSigh* Bad moon a rising. I think we are looking at a solid week plus of rain and crappy weather, so here are a couple I was able to get before this eminent weather came about. In the mean time break out your snow boards cuz I would put money down that the Sierras are crackin.

As always the OULK crew is down by law. These cats are always willing to get buck for the lens at the cost of tail and well being. As usual Jt got busy and even though Tran took an early hit he was still down to drive over a stone. Tone was all about to get something by" krook or hook" and managed the biggest gap of the day. Fun times and look forward to linking up with all these fools again real soon. Always good times.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcnoWRTC_I/AAAAAAAAC5U/mTKLnyoSm68/s1600/broke%2Boff-8.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcnoWRTC_I/AAAAAAAAC5U/mTKLnyoSm68/s400/broke%2Boff-8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550448639883807730" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQco2K2W-2I/AAAAAAAAC50/KeFDYmfXKWc/s1600/fresh%2Bboard.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQco2K2W-2I/AAAAAAAAC50/KeFDYmfXKWc/s400/fresh%2Bboard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550449976847825762" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcpDa0QdXI/AAAAAAAAC6E/HZRyGxR5dm8/s1600/tone%2Bgoes%2Bbig.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcpDa0QdXI/AAAAAAAAC6E/HZRyGxR5dm8/s400/tone%2Bgoes%2Bbig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550450204472276338" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcno4TWY2I/AAAAAAAAC5c/RsIQDWhAfEE/s1600/jt%2Bbail.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcno4TWY2I/AAAAAAAAC5c/RsIQDWhAfEE/s400/jt%2Bbail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550448649019220834" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQctPeo1J1I/AAAAAAAAC6U/ajeEY_x6pg8/s1600/jt%2Bgap%2Bout.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQctPeo1J1I/AAAAAAAAC6U/ajeEY_x6pg8/s400/jt%2Bgap%2Bout.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550454809703032658" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQco8x_BqDI/AAAAAAAAC58/mpyhVmatZh8/s1600/booty.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQco8x_BqDI/AAAAAAAAC58/mpyhVmatZh8/s400/booty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550450090432374834" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcnowtBf2I/AAAAAAAAC5k/shTPI3F9fzI/s1600/ninja%2Brat%2Bmob.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcnowtBf2I/AAAAAAAAC5k/shTPI3F9fzI/s400/ninja%2Brat%2Bmob.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550448646979420002" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcpnb5NGVI/AAAAAAAAC6M/tQ44x1-VDe0/s1600/rock%2Bride.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcpnb5NGVI/AAAAAAAAC6M/tQ44x1-VDe0/s400/rock%2Bride.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550450823236753746" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcn15yISbI/AAAAAAAAC5s/yS3Aq6eDvMQ/s1600/ninja%2Brock%2Bride%2Bsequence.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQcn15yISbI/AAAAAAAAC5s/yS3Aq6eDvMQ/s400/ninja%2Brock%2Bride%2Bsequence.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550448872755055026" border="0" /></a>christianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11123060700609152781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183395149594721793.post-32947081524769731032010-12-10T19:20:00.000-08:002010-12-10T20:16:40.468-08:00Robert Leidner SpotlightFellow photographer Robert has a great eye and is shooting some rippers in the bay area. I have yet to meet him but one does not have to have personally met someone to see that talent deserves recognition. Robert also feels like a good person, from the bit of conversation we have had. Very soon pints will be had and the true meeting will have gone down but in the short term have a look at some of his photos and try to get a feeling for who he is from the questions he has answered. One day you too may have a chance to have pints with him too, you know cuz pints with pretty much anybody is where its at.<br /><br />Christian<br /><br />C: Name, Age, Location, Occupation<br />R: Robert Leidner, I currently live in the Sunset District in San Francisco but I'm originally from Concord CA.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxSebvn7I/AAAAAAAAC38/hTBishPopZQ/s1600/DaneN-BSFlipSanMateo900W.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxSebvn7I/AAAAAAAAC38/hTBishPopZQ/s400/DaneN-BSFlipSanMateo900W.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549262990583242674" border="0" /></a><br />C: How long have you been shooting skating?<br />R: I first started shooting skateboard photos in High School, but after that I got into filming and that's what I was doing until about 2 and a half years ago when I started shooting stills again which I felt I always enjoyed more.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxQmB9d9I/AAAAAAAAC3k/Yugjr7N4VcI/s1600/900width.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxQmB9d9I/AAAAAAAAC3k/Yugjr7N4VcI/s400/900width.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549262958262843346" border="0" /></a><br />C: Can you remember when it hit you that this was something you wanted to do?<br />R: I knew from the time I started skating I was going to try and make it my life some way or another but because I'm a big guy I really suck at skating myself so I picked up a camera.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxfZ7dE9I/AAAAAAAAC4E/4DMx_I2QjTQ/s1600/DawanyeCollawayOllieOverSmith10LongWEB.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 198px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxfZ7dE9I/AAAAAAAAC4E/4DMx_I2QjTQ/s400/DawanyeCollawayOllieOverSmith10LongWEB.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549263212712367058" border="0" /></a><br />C: When you go out to get photos what might be the biggest downer?<br />R: Injuries for sure, I hate seeing my friends get hurt.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxQHhKyBI/AAAAAAAAC3c/e2uzGaTILFw/s1600/900W.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxQHhKyBI/AAAAAAAAC3c/e2uzGaTILFw/s400/900W.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549262950072240146" border="0" /></a><br />C: What gets you juiced up?<br />R: Just anyone who's down to make skateboard art!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxfqnotuI/AAAAAAAAC4M/BT34ZhHPcss/s1600/MattyAsleep900W.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxfqnotuI/AAAAAAAAC4M/BT34ZhHPcss/s400/MattyAsleep900W.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549263217192646370" border="0" /></a><br />C: Formal training, or just get out there and work it out?<br />R: Fuck anything formal I'm shooting skateboarding, its a independent sport so I'm trying to do it independently.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxRkX3DvI/AAAAAAAAC30/wFvzVJ6lRhA/s1600/AconnSWollie4900W.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q5n1nHVNAv4/TQLxRkX3DvI/AAAAAAAAC30/wFvzVJ6lRhA/s400/AconnSWollie4900W.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549262974997696242" border="0" /></a><br />C: Digital or film or both?<br />R: Both.
