Kamloops - Tournament Capital

Testing cameras is always fun and scary but my Olympus never breaks down. Here's a fun video at my friend Carrie's house with my point and shoot.

Stacy takes the tournament challenge, pizzas and OE

The best clouds to shoot in are always the darkest, Lightning and thunder are nice too.

Here's me rescuing Magnus's board from a high roof gap.

New Scraps

 Before my photoshow was done I completed many new Scrap layouts, here's a few to add to the book. My thickest book which these are in is about 500 pages, hopefully to be filled one day.

Some B&W rolls

 I still love to drop rolls of film off at the lab, not knowing what's inside is  always a pleasent surprise. Here's a few from when mom and dad were in town, Sasha and I took them around, camera's on them at all times. Vancouver, Whistler and Squamish.

Skateboarder Magazine Photo Issue

Incase you haven't seen it yet, please pick this up at your local newsstands. It's the photo issue,

and well worth a look through. Amazing spots and the best photos. Here's the cover with Josh Kalis on the cover and a who's hot I shot with Morgan Smith. This is a massive switch  ollie and if you go there it'll shock  you how bad the run up is.  

  

Events weekend

 This weekend should be a busy one around town. We have Car Free day, Billabong store opening, RDS line contest, Concrete's 100 issue party, Zoo York video premier, Horse races, etc etc. Oh yea and some  serious  skateboarding as well if you can pry me away from the beach. Found some more extra photos on my computer today, some old some new.

Haden Kelly, TJ Rogers and Matt Berger watching and being amazed at Alex Chalmers flip part

Met this biker at a spot, he was hyped on skateboarding, which is good cause you don't want to get punched with that fist.

A few left overs

 This summer has been hot and full of great skating. Here's a few extras from the past month or so that I've been sitting on. This Saturday is our #100 issue of Concrete Skateboarding as well , hope you all can  make it. Antisocial shop at 8pm then to the Biltmore for drinks and partying.

There's a new magazine in Canada called Kingshit. I got a couple things in there for the first issue, including this article about winter in Vancouver. Thanks guys, I like the way it turned out.

Photo show preview

Just started a new Blog as you can see so  I thought I'd post  up a few photos from my Photo show the other night to see how it looks.  Very fun night, thanks to No Limits, Obey clothing,  Proper Design, Coors light, Bneeth, RedBull, Push.ca and Concrete Skateboarding.  If your interested in buying any of the photos they range from $100 - $1400 for the larger 1 of a kind larger prints (4ft x 3ft) which are all up for another 3 weeks, so take some time and check it out.
