A Saturday Skate

This past weekend Rick, J.Lo and I went downtown for a skate session. It was a successful day of skateboarding and picture taking. The light was unbelievably good.


Here are three different versions of the same trick.


Kickflip. John was skating in some new shoes. I was jealous.



Sequence of the same kickflip.



This is actually a different attempt, not a remote. Same trick, different angle though.



A dead pigeon. According to Rick I'm a "sicko" for taking this photo.



Rick.



I believe Rick was looking at a vagrant who moments before tried, with broken English, to sell me a janky old skateboard, either found or stolen, for $1.



This is probably my favorite picture from the day. I gave John a high five after he successfully landed a backside flip over the same gap you saw in the kickflip photos. Unfortunately I panned too quickly on the sequence of said backside flip and the photos didn't look very good.

Downtown Skate Session

Rick and I went downtown to check out some spots and found this picturesque brick building.


The sun was reflecting off a window and intensified the brightness and heat. It created a literal hot light. I believe Rick's face was beginning to sizzle.

Do it

If you're apathetic then don't fucking complain.
