Recent Wastelands

I'm happy to report that the Wastelands is still intact and ready to rumble. There was some talk that this epic DIY spot was going to meet it's demise at the hands of Cal Trans but it looks like it is alive and well. Thanks to Karl Watson and a generous donation a fresh quarter is in full effect. I had the chance to get over there and shoot some fools that I have been running with lately and also meet up with Funktion rider Matt "Atreau" to hook up some shots. Lets all hope the rumors are false and this great underground spot will stay alive and well.

A First Montage

I know its got a bit of cheez melting off it but man was this fun to do. Going to be trying some more gritty content down the line on other projects. Stay tuned.

Rail In Waiting

Jack London Square is a pretty sweet bit of Oakland with its fair share of skate spots. I have been passing a rail for close to a year waiting for someone to step up. Enter Weston. He called it out as our second spot and put in work. These are a couple of shots including one of myself shot by Noah as I got up to a higher vantage point to shoot. It's pretty classic.

Sweet Light

So I have posted non skating stuff up here before and the other day I caught my friend and colleague strumming away in some killer light conditions. Rain and overcast can be a drag, but it can also make for some bomber portraits.

Fall Comes Falling In

I sit here in front of my computer keeping things going as the cold and wet start to make themselves known outside. I know dry weather will come back but I cant help but stress a bit on how shooting will carry on as winter knocks on the door. Eh the bottom line is I know it will all come together, cuz it always does. Here are a few I have snagged recently please enjoy if you are sitting in front of your computer too.

Rainy Day Session

Yesterday I was on a mission to score some photos for the upcoming Skidmark. Weather was not with me, rain put up a pretty serious block. But blocked a session will not be. Log Shop has a kick ass ramp and so there we went. Here are a few shots from the session that went off. Hand held strobe action, at a quick and furious time. A little portrait session cracked as we were gearing up to go and Jake actually caught yours truly like a pro!! Great job my brother.
