Cone Series

On my birthday about a month ago, I was given a present by a few friends who obviously didn't put much effort into it. The present was an orange construction cone left by a cable company worker who never came back to retrieve it.

The night before my birthday, while drunk, they went on an aggressive search from their respective chairs. Then, Boom! They saw the cone, cleaned it up and gave it to me. My friends said I had to take photos of the cone at different places. I thought this could actually be pretty cool despite their lackluster effort. Thus, the Cone Series was born.

The Padre

This is my dad.


I used two strobes on pocketwizards, one with a small softbox on it.


He's quite the ham.

Re-branded and new layout

Well, well, well. Time For Some New Shoes has gone the way of the wind. It lost relevance and it was time for a change - re-branding and new layout. AIG will inevitably have to do the same but for far different reasons. Eh, eh, eh.

This is the start of Fresh Sessions, dedicated to sessions of various natures, whether it be skate, snow, photo, or other. Like TFSNS, Fresh Sessions will primarily be photo oriented. Really, the new name is just tailored to what I've been recently posting. I figured you can only talk about needing new shoes for a limited time before deviating, which is what happened. I finally found a direction and I'm going with it. Hopefully the change will motivate me to post more often too.

Also, don't forget the new url. freshsessions.blogspot.com

Thanks for stickin' with it.

Skate Session

I am sore. An all day skate session will do that, though.

A few photos from Ahwahnee, the first spot we hit.




J.Lo, boardslide.





I enjoyed the lighting on this one. J.Lo is lookin' gangster.

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.






Yep, still rockin' the 550ex.
