(More after the jump!)
Last Wednesday, I tagged along for boy's night at the skatepark. We went to Saturday Skateboards, a local skate deck and apparel design company run by Dave Collier. A few years ago, Dave built the skatepark, inside a warehouse, where he also runs his screen printing business, Ink Floyd. And on Wednesday nights, they open their private ramps to the public for a mere $5. Literally, right next to squeegees and screens, you'll find sweaty skaters riding wooden waves, walls spray painted with graffiti, and old couches covered in dust and empty Gatorade bottles. Nikon or Canon? I wish. Casio point-and-shoot is where it's at! I shot over 1,100 photos in less than two hours! Ok so I got a little carried away with the consecutive rapid photo mode (editing was a biotch!). Still not too shabby for motion shots, in a dimly lit room, with my low tech apparatus. You may notice Cory Clinton is wearing an original Not Made In China t-shirt... isn't he sweet to represent?! (More after the jump!) This guy was catching some major air. I managed to snag a few mid-air shots. Our good friend Ryan Fujita tearing it up (and getting electrocuted... or at least looking like it in that lower photo). Had to get some pics of the up-and-coming kids filming their new tricks. The entrance. "The Overview"... notice the walled-off portion of the room, in upper right corner of the image, that is where the screen printing takes place. Commentsryan 08/04/2010 10:35am
Amazing pictures, Nikki! I cant believe you got all of these with a point and shoot camera. Bravo! Leave a Reply |
