Vans Demo

I was cleaning out my photo folder and remembered there is a ton of stuff I have still not posted... so I'm starting with the shots from the Vans demo from a while back...

Best part of the demo was when this guy did a gainer into disease infested water... R.I.P. buddy

One of my favorite skaters ever.

Danny L. is amazing

Wouldn't be a demo with Layton without the best switch tre in the business.

It's hot.

West Chester Bike Race

The Iron Hill Twilight Criterium was last night and I was able to sneak out of Fairman's long enough to shoot some photos.

New Issue of Focus is out!

I was pleasantly surprised today at work when the new issue of Focus arrived!

For the last few issues I have been working at Focus doing some of their ad sales to help out.  I consider myself lucky to be working at a mag that cares so much about skating and getting exposure to relatively unknown east-coast skaters.  This issue I was really lucky and had a bunch of photos run that I'm very excited about.  

Here are the mag scans, as well as my original photos. Let me know what you think!

Let's start out with Mathis's two page spread which was also my first time giving an interview ever.

What you don't know about Mathis's portrait is that we were at York Park for a contest.  He forgot his phone in West Chester and borrowed my phone about 5 times throughout the contest so that he could check in with his girlfriend.

One of my favorite skaters Neil Herrick landed this issue's FAIRMAN's ad.

Fisheye and longlens angles.

Andrew Cannon was the guest editor for this issue and wrote a really good page to kick the issue off.  The photo was shot by Delaware's finest Tommy Zhao in China.

My buddy Scott and Fairman's teamrider got Effigy's ad for this issue skating the legendary Cardiel rail in his new hometown city of San Fran.

Photo was shot by Christian Ericksen.

My buddy and Fairman's shop homie Mike Moll got his first coverage in the incentives section with this gnarly 50-50 dropin.

I'm a nerd and had him sign it for when he gets famous.

Last but not least is Steindl's "Behind the Lens" for this issue.  

Fairman's 4 is on the way!
