A lot of the time, a good photo can be seen before it happens. I remember watching Curren tying his shoe & the instant he looked up, I was ready for the shot. – Ojai, CA

Many questions arise over this photograph, however I have no explanation of it’s background story. Perhaps that is why I enjoy street photography so much. The viewer is forced to form their own story from the information shared in the composition. I believe this process is a terrific exercise for a creative mind. – Los Angeles, CA

When skateboarding originally drew me as a child, it did not take long to find friends that shared the same passion. Over the years, skating has given me friendships that I will forever be grateful for. Jerry, Daryl, Johan, & Jon – Los Angeles

This was the first photograph that I shot with Lance. It was actually the same evening that I was introduced to him. Lance has always been a pioneer for skateboarders, on & off the board. – Los Angeles, CA

There is an undoubtably strong connection between musicians & skateboarders. When it comes down to it, I love seeing either an individual, or crew of friends working to create a product that is entirely authentic & unique. // Domo & Japser – Los Angeles, CA

Curren decided to buy a scooter at a rest stop en route to a filming session. Immediately following his purchase, extreme stunts were being choreographed & I was fortunate enough to capture this wonderful scene of stoke. – Curren, Nordberg, Louie – California

Child posing with Louie’s skateboard on a trip to SF. We gave him & his pals as much gear as we could before leaving the session. It is incredible to see how much purity is still in skateboarding.
