stoops magazine - issue 02

issue 02 of stoops magazine, the all new york city skateboard magazine, came out in november 2015. i helped with photo editing and production, and eby ghafarian handled the creative direction, as well as all the publishing business work, which is most of the work in making a magazine. there was an issue release photo show on nov 13, 2015, at salomon arts in manhattan, new york. below are the photos in stoops issue 02 that i'd shot, some i'd been saving for up to 9 years, waiting for the right place to show them, and in my opinion still hold up.

kingpin magazine : skateboarding europa - issue 84 - special photo issue -  dec 2010

kingpin's first ever photo issue is really sick, i actually didn't think my photos made the cut.

i highly recommend picking one up for some of the best present skateboard photography in the world.

they are usually available at barnes & noble, since they are coming all the way from europe.
