PHOTO GOON: BROOKS FRITZ

I literally have +40 rolls of medium format film that needs to be scanned. Let alone the 30+ rolls of 35mm. Pretty much I’m a dumb ass. I love shooting film, especially 120 but it gets exspensive and I don’t own a scanner. So I have just been building up this stock pile of film. Pretty stupid right? It is. But at the same time it’s not. So the other day I figured it out and borrowed my dad’s flatbed scanner that has a mount for scanning film. And now what? I’m finding photo’s I completely forgot about. And that for me was one of the main reason to start taking photos. Photos only get better with age. And sometimes what you think might be garbage actually becomes a priceless possession. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not putting down digital. I’m just saying there is something really special about being able to hold and feel film.. And if you don’t know what that’s  like because you only know compact flash cards then I recommend a disposable camera. Or a Holga. You cant imagine how much fun the basics are. Or maybe you do and all I am doing is flapping.

Ryan Harris, Stale fish over the love seat. Not off of it. Where? At Washington Street. San Diego, California. Oh my god! Am I blowing out the scene?

Stupid animals. Why cant they all go extinct all ready. I mean they are totally like taking up room and stuff.

Hey Joto! Your popsicle’s melting! Jamie Weller tail slides in a pool at the Salton Sea. Rumors are this thing will be buried at the end of the year. Go get it….

My dog Ollie. Way cooler then Meaty. All that dog has done is bring me a crowd of lame kids. Guess what? No she doesn’t skateboard.

You cant try to make this shit up. It just happens.

Willis Kimmel, Crail slides in a blown out permission pool on Mt. Helix, San Diego California.

This is me and my daughter Brooklyn. Yup, I jumped on the bandwagon and made a wizard stick. It’s actually quite fun. Look how proud she is of her pile of a father and his drinking.

Have a good week. Make a wizard stick. Shoot film. Go skate. Go fish. Go to bed.

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……

Back in business. Just got photoshop up n running on my new computer so I can start posting photos again. Here’s the first. Brad Hererra ollies a fatty.
