Observations of an Artist: The Dude
July 6th, 2010
To be the subject of so many unstaged photos and keep each one as unforgettable as the previous is the sure sign of an natural artist- a artist because of not what they make, but because of who they are.

…cut the string.
July 3rd, 2010
Tethered to your sunburned hand, a kite floats peacefully in the early Summer breeze. Waves roll upon the tranquil beach like a old dog moseys to and from the slipper of a wrinkled skinned retiree. Palms shuffle and thin wheeled bicyclists glide. Your kite remains undeterred by subtle shifts in the onshores and your day creeps like a moon tugs.
As the sun begins its decent, a thick blanket of gray tumbles upon shore carrying a dense patch of gloom and howling winds. Your bare arms shiver and your eyes bug to the unforeseen alarm. Your kite takes a sudden dive sending boardwalk canines into protective snarls. Nightmarish gusts send chills down your spine and launches your kite skyward. Its wings whip in the hellish winds and plastic pieces are yanked into the distance. Your string is taut and it painfully stretches. Your kite becomes a hazard. It loses all decency and becomes tangled in Machiavellian debauchery. Its key no longer is harmonious and its sound is that of a different instrument. With a sigh for today, but a smile for a sunnier tomorrow, you cut the string.
What strings have you cut?
On your mark, get set… THROW!

Photographers concerned with aesthetics usually prefer to remain behind the camera. They photo perfectly balanced compositions and they capture heavenly highlights. Conceptual photographers are more concerned with capturing the moment, solidifying a memory and recording an idea. For the latter, a camera’s self timer option is mandatory. Conceptual photographers fill memory cards like scientist fill log books… every event is documented, every idea is recorded… with themselves included!
Most digital cameras offer a 2 second and 10 second timer, with some offering a programmable option. The 10 second option is usually sufficient for most shots. Find something to prop up the camera at least a few inches off the ground or find a ledge, bench or rock. Cans are great options and the lid can be used to tilt the camera. Always keep a count in your head when running into place.
Some shots take multiple attempts- others are perfect first try!
When have you used the Self Timer option?

Let the Good Times Roll…
June 21st, 2010What skateboarding means to me…
It means saving lunch money for a new deck, walking across cities to skate a set of stairs and hitch-hiking to distant University campuses on Christmas morning to skate without campus security. Walking on your tippy-toes for months at a time because of bruised heels. Swellbows that you thought would never deflate, or to this day turning your arm over and seeing one that never did. Determining a kid’s skate stance without watching them skate, but by the holes in their shoes. Globs of shoe-goo. Inventing new skate pads on Vans. Spending entire weekends sitting on the ledges of the High School waiting for the next car load of pros to arrive. Skating in dark alleys to prevent a ticket and still getting one or the numerous boards smashed to splinters after rolling into oncoming traffic. Writing descriptive essays in school titled how to put together a complete skateboard and how to build a quarter pipe. Leaving books at home so to allow space for your board in your locker. Running errands for the “older” guys who worked at XYZ and giving your parents CCS catalogs instead of Christmas lists. Not caring about cable because you only watched VHS Skate videos and getting hired at Carl’s Jr. only to work the three days necessary to earn enough for new wheels.
Do you still count the number of stairs while walking down a staircase or do you still give local directions by skate landmarks?
If so, happy National Skateboarding Day!
