A model taking a smoke break. This wall was in the perfect spot. Sun never really hit it directly but it caught the bounced light off whoever passed by.

Three days of perfect weather.

Robyn smiling.

My hotel shower.

Can't wait to go back in a few weeks.

Pause to Begin Interview

My interview came out on the Pause to Begin website yesterday. David and Ethan were awesome and made a multimedia slide show to go along with my dumb ass voice. It features 20 photos from the past 6 months and one old pic from Bonneville, UT. Click on that photo below to watch it. You can also go to the link above to see a higher quality version and the series of photographs I submitted for the contest itself.

The trailer from David and Ethan's trip.

They drove 10000 miles around the country in May to visit 13 of us. I appear briefly at around the 4:30 mark looking fidgety and laughing.

Thanks also to Andy Adams for featuring my "Hotel Fire" photo this month on Flak Photo

101

Me and Jason went up to Mulholland Drive after working last Thursday. Hollywood and Downtown LA.

I lived in LA for a chunk of 2005/06 and would sit up there a lot.

Roadtrip edits

Going away again tomorrow..back to Cali on a job. In the meantime here are some edits from last summers road trip with Pops.

Here he is doing some early morning planning in a motel room.

Driving on the Bonneville salt flats in Utah.

Monument Valley High School in Arizona. I became obsessed with finding this football field after spotting a very small photo of it in a guide book. I asked about team practice and the woman told me there weren't enough kids for a team that year.

A rain cloud in Wyoming.

It kicks ass out west.

Smoke break

Luis having a smoke on a foggy Paris set two summers ago.

California

Jason has been working like crazy lately. He called me to assist him in San Diego last week.

One day we shot in an insane house on top of a hill.

This was the neighbors washing machine.

I've always liked the light in southern California more than any other place. We booked a hotel room for half a day in LA while we waited for the flight back home. The air conditioner felt good and made the curtains look like this..

Sundown

The trip was fun and California makes me feel good.

This lamp was pretty awesome too.

Danny Way

Jason shot Danny Way skating mini ramp in California. I didn't take any good photos cause I was too busy working... it was pretty sweet nonetheless.

I watched the mini ramp part in this video about a billion times when I was younger. (Danny's section starts at the 2:00 mark)

Wildfire

Oceanside wildfire a few days ago. We just made it through before the fire department closed the freeway.

Longboards

People making the best of some tiny little waves last week.

Detail.

Just got back from California. The trip was fun. I'll post the photos in a day or two.

More skate flicks..

Going to San Diego tomorrow. Back on Wednesday. Here's some more snaps of Al from last weekend.

Three versions of the same trick.

This janky session was a nice cap to a perfect afternoon at the beach.

Another shitty sequence..

Alan did some fun wallrides last Saturday.

I have some better stills that I'll put up later.

Beach 90th

Some more pictures from two Saturdays ago

Lots of people out having fun

We took it all in from the 90th street jetty

Stoked on this

Some people had a hard time getting out. This guy was stuck in the same spot for 5 minutes battling the tides

Detail.

Every now and then the sun would poke out making everything even radder.

Detail.

Full on pea soup before we left.
