stoops magazine - issue 01

over the last year or so i helped launch stoops magazine, an all new york city skateboard magazine.
i also contributed a bunch of photos; below are just a small selection of them.
i wanted to also blog the photos of brian delatorre, dustin eggeling, danny fuenzalida, ben gore, daniel kim, jimmy lannon, ryan lay, luke malaney, joel meinholz, jerry mraz, matt town, and dave willis, but i felt like it was too many to blog.

exploring color photography sixth edition


the photo i shot of eby ghafarian rolling in on a roof bank made it into a color photography textbook!
it's the sixth revision of robert hirsch's exploring color photography - film to pixels.
it's kind of surreal since there are all these classic pioneer photographers in the book.

the photo is from the roof skating section in colin read's video tengu, and also appears in stoops magazine issue 01.

43 magazine on vice UK blog

there's a column on vice UK's blog called 'Ink Spots' about books and magazines to check out, and they recently interviewed me about 43, my favorite photos from issue 005, and what i think about skateboard magazines, check it out!


these were 2 of the previews they posted from 43 005 that were photos i shot:

aaron herrington - frontside smith grind - manhattan, new york - 2014



al davis - fence wallie over gate - montreal, canada - 2014

"This is one of my favourite photos from this issue that I've shot. ... We saw the spot from the road, and I just really didn't think wallieing off the fence over the gate was that possible. It happened so quick I was quite stressed about whether or not I'd get the photo as good as it should be, especially with Ryan Garshell trying to get film rolling alongside."

yonnie cruz - the skateboard mag

yonnie cruz - nollie frontside 180 - manhattan, new york - 2012
the skateboard mag - issue 129 - 2014.

this was the 3rd trick he did that day, the first two being his switch backside 180 in the bronx, and his switch ollie on roosevelt island.
by the time we got to this third spot at night, i was thinking, how is he still skating?

from yonnie's interview in 43 magazine issue 004, the switch backside 180 mentioned is on the right page.


from the static iv article in 43 magazine issue 003, yonnie's switch ollie photo.
