Weather:
Spring? Nope just constant rain with a day of summer throw in.
So last time I said there would be more shorter posts. It turns out I misspoke because here’s another megapost so it looks like I should just admit defeat and acknowledge that this will be the way of things.
If you’re looking for quality skateboard video discussion I’d suggest bookmarking StopThisVideo.com. Stop This Video And Go Skate is updated every Friday with thoughtful shit talking, rambling essays and general skate film debate. Top shelf!
A few other things I’d suggest taking a look at: Dan Boulton’s interview about his Southbank show on the Leica site, Brad Wescott’s interview about photography and trains on the Citrus Report and the oddness that is the Urban Marine site.
Here are the things that happened in a haphazard non-sequential presentation.
Test shot with Impossible Push film. The Post Office.
Another test shot. I’m looking forward to watching this change over time.
The Wilson stop.
From the Minneappolis trip. Mr. Shawn Hebrank. Avian appreciator and artist extraordinaire.
Another Minneapolis leftover. Smokestacks on the river banks.
USA Kevin’s been making it out to the morning szechuans on dry days. I love how this turned out.
John was in town with his family. Still shralping at top speed.
Early morning roll around. Found this barn door.
Unnecessary door.
Back here again.
A bit of work but well worth the effort.
Some type of semi-nude mannequin occurrence.
Guess who’s back?
I was honored to participate in the Tween gif show at Octagon.
It was seizure inducing.
My gif involved a cheeseburger.
You should be able to see it and the gif I made from pictures I took at the show here.
Who’s going to stop you? That sign?
Ribs.
Checked out the Chicago Street art show.
A ton of great work.
There’s also a book.
Personally I like the book a bit better. I think it’s better to see things out in the world.
So go and see the show before it closes.
Buy the book.
If you’re an artist keep making stuff and putting it out there.
I’ll keep looking for it.
This pigeon was looking out.
Escape.
Big wheel valet service.
Those are the rules.
Batting cage and pinball date night.
The Cutural Center Elevator doors are hypnotic. If you stare long enough they’ll move.
Slowly deteriorating.
Temper.
Close Up. I assumed they stop making this in 1987.
Dave Thomas living the Dude Life.
Blossoming tree in Lincoln Square.
The hot dog with the jalapeno bacon was worth the short wait.
Tasha was visiting.
These clouds were thick and moving quickly.
JV sends the best mail. Killed it.
Spotted this at the Asadero.
A weight on my chest.
Burger with swiss cheese and sport peppers. Murphys.
Another test shot. Similar to the one above.
Randomly caught Justin rolling down the street while I was shooting the facade.
Dumpster party.
Patrick loves what he does. He also got some good jokes.
This was a mission that got slightly derailed.
Losing light.
Tom provided encouragement and things got done. Footage of that in the future.
Another cloud apocalypse. North Avenue.
Possible gorilla escape.
Era.
Nights downtown.
Kicking it Old Style.
Another shot from the szechuan above. Better pics over on Dude Life.
I spend a lot of time under tracks.
Observing the world.
3 day weekend. Start your grills.
