a couple sequences from last night

So a few days ago I had the pleasure of getting my appendix removed. This basically means I can't do anything for the next two weeks but take pictures, which is great because my new lens just got here a couple days ago. Last night we went to the park and I took a couple sequences.

My friend Sean.

For those of you who don't know, or care, my friend Sean is over in Japan right now working. He's shown me a bunch of cool things that are over there like these two blogs are two of the guys he skates with now. They are all in Japanese, but you can decipher the links easy enough and stare at the pictures.

self portrait type thing

The sky looked awesome last night and I was a little bored so I messed around a little with my camera and this is what I came up with. Pretty cliche, whatever.

Piff City Promo

You really should check out the new promo for Piff City, a feel-good film based outside of Philadelphia by Kevin McGovern and friends.

Check out a couple more of his videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/kmm435

California

I got back from California last night after visiting with the Grandparents and checking out UC Davis. The last day I was there I met 4 guys from L.A. on campus who were skating some of the famous spots. They let me snap a couple photos which is pretty much all I have to show from the trip.

Update Soon!

I'm currently in California, but my plane back to Philly arrives tomorrow morning. I have a few shots of some locals that I met and a couple other warmup shots from a sick group of guys I met from L.A. You can check out the blogspot at www.skateboardingdontcomeeasy.blogspot.com They are all real nice dudes who shred hard. I got the chance to skate some really epic spots and photos will follow in the next couple days. I always have some photos of Abe Howell and Neil Herrick from a few weeks ago that I'm posting soon. Check back soon!
