Tomas – 5-0 Grind to Fakie

Once again it’s been a while since I’ve updated this, my blog software stopped working and I never took the time to update it. I finally got out after almost 2 months of no shooting, and shot this one of Tomas at a barrier spot. It was fun to hook up with the guys who I haven’t seen in a while. Shot this with my new alien bees, just 2 flashes.

Aaron – Front Lip

This one was fun to watch, mostly as Aaron continuously landed in the grass then ate shit into the grass. I thought this photo was pretty cool too, we shot it shortly after we got back from Philly. I seriously only have photos of Aaron.

Aaron – 5-0

We shot this one back in the spring, it’s a pretty sketchy spot in terms of cars flying by Aaron at 80 on the parkway, and the 15′ drop to face break if he goes over the rail. I was immediately happy with this one as soon as I shot it, I wish we would have shot a little later in the day to get a nice glowy sunset instead of this blown out one.. we probably should have waited around. In cases like these sometimes 4 nikon sb80s just aren’t powerful enough.

So long 2008, happy new year.

Keith – heelflip

This spot was hot for a few weeks, maybe it still is who knows. Here’s a photo of someone other than Aaron: Keith, doing a heelflip through the fence gap.

Aaron – fs Tailslide a Triton Barrier

I’d been meaning to get out and shoot this photo for a while with Aaron. The Triton didn’t used to be locked onto that yellow thing, and you could move it around, unfortunately by the time we got around to shooting it, the chain was in place.. hence the busy background. This thing is big though, and Aaron tailslid it within a few minutes.

Aaron – Fs Flip

This was actually from my first day out with my new D300, who else would i test the camera on than Aaron. Fs flip off the bump and over the beaver pylon. We shot some sequences that day as well, and much to my delight, the memory card that they had sent me was corrupted, and about every 15th photo was unusable, which usually resulted in one of the key frames of the sequence being missing.. I was not happy. Check out the gash on aarons leg

Seb – Sw Heel

This photo is a few years old, I think I shot it in the Fall of 2007, it’s the double set down on slater, Aaron was trying regular heel flip, and Seb went and did it switch. I guess that got Aaron going because right after that he landed varial flip first try, and fs flip 3rd try.

Aaron – Wallie fs Tailslide

I shot this photo at the beginning of November, we actually got 2 photos done in about 30 mins, in the dark alone, as per usual. I was really stoked on this photo, the tree in the background is actually about 150 feet back, so I used a long lens to bring it closer to Aaron, and lit it up with a flash in the field. Used 3 other flashes to light aaron.

Aaron – Back Smith

Shot this one back in the spring of 2008, it’s a mini loading dock at a closed value village over in Gloucester, I was always a fan of this photo, and as per usual, the subject is Aaron.

Aaron Cayer – Wallie 5-0

Hands down one of my favourite photos from the summer. I shot this one at the Gloucester skate park where Chris and I used to skate almost everyday, we used to just ollie over the barriers, we never actually skated them like this. Now the ground there sucks, and its hard to remember how we even had that much fun skating that park. This shot was actually scary, Aaron kept coming really close to smashing me with his board, I was lying down camera in hand. Shot with 4 flashes, 3 of them all together just on the other side of the barrier, and one right behind me, all at full power, and zoomed in.
