New Gear

I'm pretty excited about some new gear I just procured. I got the PocketWizard Plus II. It's no Multimax, but I can't afford the $300 ea. for those.

Goodbye, infra-red. Hello, radio transmitter.


PocketWizard

The Setup

Yep, still rockin' the 550ex.

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


Kickflip Sequence
Sequence of the same kickflip.


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


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


Rick
Rick.


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.


High Five
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

Brick 2
Rick and I went downtown to check out some spots and found this picturesque brick building.

Brick 4
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.

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

New boots!!

Snowboard boots to be exact. I went into SBI yesterday to check out some beanies and browse their current shoe selection. I didn't find anything I liked in either selections so I wondered over to the snowboarding section. There were some badass sales on gear from previous seasons. I've been needing some new boots for a while now so I was checking them out. There happened to be a pair of ThirtyTwos on sale for $75! Fuck yea! They were the last pair and happened to be in my size. Boo yaaa!

The set-up I used to take the photos was pretty janky.

Boots 3

Yep in my closet with black shirts for the background. You have to work with what you've got.
