Here we go

This photo was taken while the doors closed on the elevator. The staff was so into their roles and she held the pose while everyone snapped away. Dedication.

BEER RUN

Today was 20 plus degrees and I thought about how much I like warm weather but don't dread the cold. It's nice.

How do you: lose a holga battle!?!

I lend my kid and my holga to my sister in law for a milk trip and she gets this shot. Great shot and I plan to print it but the signature will be her' ses. dang.

How do you: stand it

This one was taken with the K1000. Feet after a ride need some attention but they don't really need their picture taken.

Chasing

something that will never taste good. I shot this in Toronto and if you didn't know that then who are you and why are you reading this blog? I thought that was funny.

Bag of rocks

The St. George banks are gone. For a lot of people the were a "skate by it and ride it with a cola in hand" kind of spot. We tried skating the stairs in an up down manual down fashion but it never worked. It was like imagining your car is faster than it is, you know the physical limitations BUT the banks, however.....They knew no limits and brought us back at the start and end of every session. The fact that they were there was taunting in what what is the, amazingly, bankless city. As a kid in the sticks I often thought of Hogtown to be one giant tonyhawkproskater level before the game or playstation was even invented. When I got there I found a lot of soon to be be famous spots but I never got the skate perfect banks or street scultpted vert rides that I had imagined. But who did. This spot meant a lot to some and nothing to everyone. Bag of rocks there and the reason that this picture stuck to me was that Evan did that there. nobody else would skate unless kenny hughes skated and he couldn't "put the hammer down" on the bank over the rail so naturally sitting around was the last resort. Evan skated because he wanted to skate and I shot because I thought it was cool, shot in what sense you may wonder. Here it is. The spot that birthed a stole stone and the place that I and a friend took for granted until "I actually hope the wreck it".

Shit gets deep

Even ocad students know who Puleo is nowadays, no shot at the skaters but you wouldn't care anyway, go build a ramp. The infamous vhs made it's way into my vcr via handy candy karma but that may have been is what it is. His hands were so candy they pulled a tooth that crumbled. The video was one to remember and I could only think about skating after I watched it through and through. Then I was there and I saw him in a place that him was surprised to be him. If anyone other than Joe is reading this...please remember that him wasn't him yet to you. Him was that guy with the fastforward part in mad circle. Thank christ videos joy division'd magazines out and normal skaters could come up(up as in I got to see them but I never bought anything from a comapny that he rode/rides for).
