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.

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.

here's an interview with stoops' founding publisher, eby ghafarian.

you can find stoops at a local skate shop, or order one online here.

stoops magazine

eby ghafarian is launching the 1st and only all new york city skateboard magazine, 'stoops'.

see what it's all about here.

this is the review from 43magazine.com:

eby ghafarian is launching an all new york city skateboard magazine, quite frankly because it would be too awesome not to. actually it’s kind of insane that it hasn’t already existed for decades. 43 issue 003, our all new york city issue, is just a taste of what stoops will be. there is a full spectrum of influential talent, projects, and potential in new york skateboarding that 43, or any other magazine, could only scratch the surface of. sure, we have various local video projects, and they’re amazing, but to be honest it’s kind of a tragedy that so little of it is photographed and displayed. the most photographed city in the world has one of the most unexposed skate scenes.

stoops is crowd funding for a reader supported first issue. you may have heard that kickstarter can be a place for indistinctive projects that don’t serve a purpose, need, or audience other than the project starter, this is obviously not the case with what stoops is offering for our community. especially if you are a skateboarder in new york, it would be a disservice to not contribute.

these are some of my photos we leaked as teasers,

they are also posted on milk studios' blog with an interview with eby.
