Blogging TMZ style

My friend Nolan sent me this photo of some guy on TMZ wearing the new Vans shirt with a photo I shot of Alex Knost in New York last September.  So I guess I am blogging about a blogger!!

Hasselblad snapshots

Below is a series of 6 photos I shot on my Hasselblad from my last trip to Half Moon Bay with Derek Dunfee and from New York last September.  I'm kind of a photo nerd and froth out on always shooting in different mediums and formats dependant on the situation..It's not so great for the simplistic approach or keeping my camera bag light, but whats a couple extra lb's on your back when each moment is so unique to itself.  On the trip to Half moon bay I brought a digital camera for the action, a hasselblad for lineups, lifestyle, and whatever else crossed our paths and a pocket point and shoot for those inbetween moments..seems like a lot, but at the very least it keeps me entertained and keeps me shooting...The photos from NY were taken on our last day as Jenna and I were walking around the town seeing the city...Theres something I find interesting about the film I get back and what I choose to shoot when there's only 12 images in a roll...

New York

driving over the Brooklyn Bridge from Long Island to Manhattan I looked out the window to see the New York skyline for the first time and this endless graveyard leading to it.

Montauk Duct Tape Invitational

I was invited by Joel Tudor and friends at Vans to come over and shoot the second in a series of three longboard events.  I don't usually shoot contests, but this one was rad.  It is an invite only, 16 surfers, all friends, in New York, surfing, skating and live shows.  I owe a big thank you to Vans and Joel for the invite and putting me up in a rad hotel room and getting a firsthand look at the edge of LongIsland and a frontrow seat to Mos Def and Public Enemy!!!  Surfer Magazine did a quick write up on the event you can see on the link below. Look for more images to come in the magazine and once I get the film back too!
