COME OUT AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT! EVEN BETTER WHY NOT BUY SOMETHING? IT ALL GOES TO THE PARK!!! PLUS YOU COULD OWN ONE OF MY SHITTY PHOTOS!

All these photos are from 2003 or around then. Enjoy. Shoot black and white film. Don’t let it die like Poloroid.

My Skateboard 2004: I cant believe the tank of a skateboard I used to ride. 9 inch decks, risers, and 62’s………

Mira Costa College, Oceanside, California: I enroll or more like used to enroll at this college just to use their darkroom. This rock sculpture is right by the photo room. Pretty cool.

Pat Duffy, backside smith, Donald Oregon, 2003: After skating Burnside for a few hours my friend Luke and I drove to Donald. The plan was to sleep in the bowl that night and then drive back to California the next day. I’ve slept in the bowl a few times so it was a no brain-er to go back. We figured we would grab some 6 packs of tall cans and have a mellow night. Guess again, when we rolled up there was a giant RV and a crowd of people. What the hell is this? A Kronick Energy drink bowl barney party? Nope, it was a Transworld blowout photo shoot.

I was pissed people were at Donald, but hyped at the same time since I had a chance to take some pictures. I saw my friend Jon Holland ( ooh name dropping ) and asked if he wouldn’t mind if I took some photos. He could care less but said I should go ask Dave Swift. (more name dropping) I had never met Dave before so I was a little intimidated approaching him about permission poaching. But to my luck, Dave was cool and didn’t give a fuck. I was stoked, I went and grabbed my camera and started taking some pictures trying not to get in the way.

People are funny sometimes… Some photo/film monkeys weren’t to happy about me being a non Transworld dude/bro and started trying to purposely get in front of my lens so I couldn’t get photos. Quite pathetic if you ask me but whatever, I ignored it and managed to get a couple of shots. The T world circus bailed and me and Luke were left by ourselves to laugh about it and pass out in the bowl……Thanks Jon and Dave for being cool. To the others…… as the beer beagle would say “two double x thumbs down”!

Pala Pipes, North County San Diego, 2003: yup they are still there….

Davey Rockit, fs grind, Pala Pool, 2003: When it wasn’t blown out, when it still had good coping over the light, when there was still a light, when there still was the slide, when there was still dirt on the deck, before the parties ruined it, and most of all before we all lost complete interest in skating this pool.

J-Rad Smith, Kendal Washington, 2003: This a photo of Jared using a Pabst Blue Ribbon smoking device. You haven’t lived until you smoked out of a aluminum can……

Zalba Wells, backside smith, Cactus Flat Square pool, California desert, 2003: Zach becomes Zalba when he skates pools. We convinced this RV park owner to skate his empty square. The whole family came out to watch but lost interest quickly when they realized we weren’t going to do any of the tricks they had seen on the X games.

Chairman of the board, Ryan Williams, boohyah stalefish, Borrego Springs California: Out in the middle of nowhere in the Borrego desert is this skatepark. They wanted 10 bucks or something to skate it. I conned the skatepark staff into letting us skate for free since we were “professionals” and were out there to do a skatepark review.

Rays Pool, Clairemont California: Heard it might be done soon. Or maybe it is done?

Lance Mtn: Layback grind, Donald Oregon: Same night as the TWS blow out. Lance was cool…..

Grind Master Matt Gasby, Negro pool, North County San Diego: Permission pool ruined by high school shit heads…. still empty, still off limits… Way to go…

Smile. You found my cool photo blog. Thanks for looking at my photos. But it’s all thanks to the people at skateboard-revolution for making it happen….

My kid’s a handful. Amazing, but a handful. Not in a bad way, just in a 9 month old baby way. All over the place. So with my little bit of time today away from feedings, diapers, naps and all that rad dad stuff I decided to just grab a few discs and pick out some random photos…..

New York City Nomad: This guy is homeless because he wants to. Not because he’s a drunk or a junkie and is forced to live on the streets to get a fix, but because he just wants to cruise and doesn’t like how today’s society is. Simply, he just doesn’t want to conform to the every day bullshit rat race so he chooses to live the life of the streets. And he’ll be asking you who’s the one “struggling”? …

Dominick Johnson, Jefferson Middle school: This school is right down the street from my house. It’s also the school where my friend Brendan Klein got all his photo equipment jacked. Luckily this day there weren’t any problems and I managed to shoot a couple photos of Dom doing some back smiths…

Luke, WSVT: Average day at the park 4 years ago or so. For the clueless, you wouldn’t even recognize Luke from this photo these days….

San Diego Zoo: Yeah, these creatures that aren’t related to humans what so ever are pretty smart. They put their sticks into these holes and wait for the ants to load up on it. After that they got a meal to grub down on. Pretty cool to watch, but come on….. we’re special, we’re humans…..

My dog, Ollie: The best dog ever! Of course right? Every one’s dog is the best dog. But seriously, Ollie is one of a kind.

Fred Tiblin, Mammoth lakes, California: Old friend Fred doing a lipslide at the Wave Rave mini ramp. Every Spring this park would be constructed and then torn down in the Fall. Now the town has a Grindline park. And people still complain. Go figure….

Sperm, Firepools, San Bernardino, California: Such a ridiculous amount of pools to skate when those fires destroyed alot of homes in San Bernardino a few years back. I remember someone telling me to be careful because that’s “Salba land”. Gimme a fucking break! Here’s Sperm with a tail block .

JC Hargis, Pala pool: I remember when this pool used to be fun to skate. I mean, we actually used to look forward to skating it instead of dreading the goon parties. We used to light it up once a week usually on Wednesday’s night and it was great. Super low key, just a few friends and a few hours of some grinds and laughs……. Listen to me getting all sentimental about the pala pool. Then it just got blown out so hard……Random kooks coming to just hang out and poach beers and stand on the deck. I begun to despise this place. Hate on me all you want, But I was and still am stoked this pool is buried…….

DOGDICK, Olympic size egg: Pool was so good I don’t even want to talk about it. John Cardiel’s body double with a possessed late night front side air.

Prince Foreskin, aka Richie Lipz, aka King of Dickville, aka Luke Girling: Don’t even know when I took this photo. I’m guessing this was a few years ago probably around 7 pm. Luke’s old standard operation. Actually what am I talking about? This could of been taken last week. Shit, maybe last night……
