What better way to end the year with another photo from the archives, I shot this back in the middle of August, after going on a 2 month hiatus from shooting photos. We actually got a lot of shots done that day/night. We hit up this spot and a few others that night, it was my first time taking any photos of Seb, he’s pretty much got any kickflip trick dialed so tight. This one is of him doing a 3 flip off the ledge and over the pylons and stuff.

Another one from the archives, actually this wasn’t too too long ago, October 30th actually. We hit up the slater 4 flat 2, then the Britannia rail by the beach. I don’t know of Aaron was saving all his tricks for that night, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him land that many tricks in one night. I also got a sick photo of Seb but I’m saving that one to send in. Here’s another one of Aaron, the most photographed person by me for my blog. Varial flip down the slater 4 flat 2.

Another photo from the summer that never ended up anywhere, this day was actually really productive.. actually most days out with Aaron are. You can see the museum fuzz showing up in the right side of the photo, Aaron actually landed this just in time.

I got an email a few weeks ago asking for my mailing information, which meant SBC was actually going to run an article on my good friend Sean Fraser.. aka Fox Fraser, sure enough Friday afternoon Sean called me; which meant he had seen it too. Sean got a small write up about him playing shows in and around the Laurentians area if you get the chance to see him, it’s well worth it.

This is actually a photo that Neil and I meant to shoot all summer and never got around to, we were out somewhere else shooting something else and it started to rain, so we packed up and headed out. Neil lives right by this spot and by the time we got to his hood it wasn’t raining. So we went over to shoot it, when we showed up security was already outside, so we pretended we were shooting “modeling portraits” where he wanted to hit the wall, they eventually went inside and Neil did one of these:

This spot is super hard to skate, basically no run up and the only run up you do have is at a bad angle. Neil was going to 3 flip into the bank but he’s a big pussy, so Aaron did this trick instead. This was beside the pier that we spent the day on, 2 sketchy dudes on skateboards showed up and weirded me out, they told us we shouldn’t skate their after dark anymore because of gangs or something. They ended up being sketchy nice guys; even climbing some palm trees and hooking us up with fresh coconuts. Basically anywhere you go in Miami there’s some guy willing to climb a tree to get you a coconut, either so he can tell you his life story, bum a smoke or ask for a dollar.

I did a shoot with Val about a month ago, I just took forever to get to the photos. I always seem to get side tracked, speaking of which I still have about 10 outstanding ones to edit.. grr.
