LEAVES.

Went skating at Paul Revere again, but this time Josue and Jesus joined us. We got there really late, so all we really did was sesh this awesome pile of leaves that was on one of the banks.

Christian was really enjoying the leaves.

Faces are overrated haha. Mr. Campos shows off his backside flip.

Campos spins a tre.

Hahaha. As if you couldn't tell, Jesus was helping out by throwing leaves at Josue. 360 flip again.

Hell yeah Jesus! No comply 180.

Josue Campos boosting an ollie, frontside.

Yeah go me! I should of posted my frontside ollie before Josue's. Jesus gets credit for the photo.

This one is sick Jesus! Josue kickflicks to fakie. Once again shot by Jesus.

Jesus was trying to shoot a photo of Christian doing a 360 flip on flat with leaves flying everywhere, but my flash was running low on batteries and wouldn't fire. I rescued the ridiculously underexposed image in photoshop and got this spooky thing.

A Whole Lotta Christian.

Had a quick little session with Christian at Paul Revere the other day. After skating for a while I decided to climb up on top of the gym and get some pictures.

This is Christian doing a backside pop shuvit.

These shots are kinda played out in skate photography, but fuck it, I love them anyway. 360 flip.

Sorry Christian for making you do so many damn tre flips!



A closer look. If you know Christian, you know he has the best tre flips, but I don't think my photos really show just how awesome they are. The best part about them is the way he really stomps them down hard on the bolts; the exact opposite of little kid tre flips.

I had to get a photo of this little kid who was shredding up the banks with his dad.

A million tre flips later and Christian was still somehow in a good mood.

Definitely think I like the horizontal version more.

Christian came up with this idea, so give him credit if you like it!

The Infamous Chinatown Loading Dock.

Headed over to the east side of downtown for a session earlier today. We couldn't get the photo we set out to for because of some parked cars, so we settled for a more mellow session at the always fun Chinatown loading dock. I busted out my camera for a bit while Jake and Sean we trying to film some tech hammers.

This shot was pretty accidental, but I like it for some reason.

Jake Eames is a beast. Locking in to nollie flip back tails no problem.

Some more nollie flip back tail.

This is the pose Christian came up with when he saw that I was shooting a photo of him.

Watch out for Jake's part in Ian Edward's upcoming video "Cali Haze." Some more nollie back tail.

A lurker watches Christian Schultz ollie off the launch.

Sean Bowers balancing a switch back nosegrind.

Christian joined me on the center divider, so I shot a picture.

Not Skating.

I spent this past weekend up in Lake Arrowhead with a bunch of friends, but I only busted out my camera once while we walked around the neighborhood looking for somewhere to go sledding.

Andrew punched through a giant slab of ice. Hahaha.

The rest of these photos were all taken with the old cliched photographic concept of "man vs. nature" sort of in mind.




















I was obsessed with basketball when I was kid. I was feeling kinda nostalgic one afternoon last week and decided to shoot a couple photos of the hoop in my backyard that I grew up playing on. It's funny how old and dilapidated it is now. Go Lakers!






Hopefully next post will be full of epic skate photos and not this random bullshit you guys don't care about.

The Best Place in Malibu.

Went skating at the infamous abandoned house spot in Malibu yesterday. Shot some photos of Alec Beck and Justin Cefai killing the ridiculous pole jam. Enjoy.

Didn't do a good job of showing the landing, oh well. Justin floating after jamming.

Justin is amazing. Pole jam back 180.

The strangely overcast day in the Bu' didn't seem to bother Alec, he did this pole jam tuck knee a million times.

More sweet knee tuckin' action!

What the hell? Is his back knee touching his board? If he can bend like that on a skateboard, imagine what he could do in bedroom ladies. Thats Mr. Grajeda up there filming. Get hyped for the Scummish Activity premiere later this month and watch the trailer on his blog!

Been a while.

Haven't been able to shoot much lately, UCLA and work has been kicking my ass. Fortunately, I was able to shoot for the first time in ages at this awesome spot in Irvine.

Josue was killing it as usual. 360 flip over the barrier.

More Campos, backside flip.

Maximus got this nice front crook on the third step.

Josue skidding a back tail.

It was getting pretty dark so I busted out the flashes, I liked the natty light way more. Maximus - front crook.

I feel like people are gonna hate me for this shot. Thats Hendy nosegrinding up there.

Little Evan Edwards has a got a beauty of a frontside flick.

Hendy's 360 flip was perfs.

Some more frontside flip catch action from Evan.
