Long Lost Film, where are thou.

I know this is probably the most typical photo blog posts, but it's because really true, and I think one of the more special things about using film. The break down is: I went on this Red Bull Trip to London, and I brought the following insane amount of camera's. Some Minolta 35mm, that I had thrift stored on the Ezekiel Northwest Tour for $10.00, Panny HVX, the standard digital skate kit, and my little point and shoot digital camera. Kinda nuts, I know.

Anywho, I had no idea if this Minolta bargin camera could even shoot, because I was still on my first roll since the Northwest Tour. Then almost 6 - 8 months later, I find a couple rolls in my bag and Viola! Blast from the emulsion past! Read and check out most of the photos here.

Ezekiel Northwest Tour in Bliss Magazine

Yes, we bled the shit out of this Ezekiel Northwest Tour. I'm sorry, but if we can only go on 1 or 2 major trips a year, I wanna make sure everyone gets alot out of it.

This is the Bliss Article, that was ran a month or so back, with Louie Barletta, Randy Ploesser, Zach Wagner, Dave Abair, Evan Smith and Derek Fukuhara - which it was also written by Derek, which was super nice and sweet of him.

Thanks to Bliss Magazine for using my photos and running this, thanks to Derek for writing it, and thanks for Ezekiel Clothing for sending us! We had a blast, really.

Randy Ploesser Ezekiel Ad 2009

In serious need of a update, here is my first of many. I got a couple mins, just enough time to update nicely. This was an Ezekiel Clothing ad I shot of Randy Ploesser when he was living out here. Lucky for me, this spot is on a major street, but only a couple blocks from my house (you cant go wrong with a session in your own town).

The portrait to the right was a candid shot in San Jose when we were on our Ezekiel Northwest Tour. Randy was kinda disappointed in us for using this photo, which I can totally understand, but then again, this is such an epic photo of Randy's quirk.

Randy Ploesser graces the pages of Thrasher

We shot on the Ezekiel Northwest Tour the day after our nicely relaxing camping trip. Everyone shredding this bank to non-belief. It was crazy, and of course Randy had devised a trick that was not only inventive, but equally amazing.

Great shit Randy! Its been a pleasure... thanks.

Louie Barletta Ezekiel Ad 09

This is Louie Barletta's new Ezekiel Clothing ad for the 2009 campaign. Dave Chami shot this invert or.. he actually called it some other name, but regardless, we were glad to get the photo, thanks Dave!

Also I was able to use some of the lifestyle photos I shot from the Ezekiel Northwest Tour of sweet Lou. So they scatterd those pups around and gave it some life. Thanks Ezekiel for the love, and Louie for being soo damn entertaining.

Color Magazine / Lee Yankou

A while ago when Lee Yankou was staying in Long Beach, he called me up to go skate. We headed over to this stairset over bar, which I had seen in video's but never been to officially. Well, Lee crushed this thing with a hardflip, hauling ass, would make it over, land it, then roll straight into the curb (on the median in the middle) So he wanted to ollie up the curb, so we spent another 30 mins so he could land it then ollie up the curb. Dedicated.

Funny thing is, this was actually the first time I had ever met Garrett Hunt, who was awesome, we ended up inviting him to go on that Ezekiel Northwest Tour. Awesome. Thanks to Color Magazine for running this spread, i really liked this photo, and I am glad it got used!

Ezekiel Northwest Tour on Skateboardermag.com

Now that you have seen the entire skate trip from Ezekiel Northwest Tour and that fancy cover we received, we also have posted tons of fun photos on Skateboardermag.com, I guess its the photos that we shot when we weren't skateboarding. Everything from our stay at Super 8, to camping in the forest. Read the article, visit the webpage, and then go get looped out!

Dungonmaster and the Warlocks

As you seen the posts a couple months back, Ezekiel went on a Northwest Tour and skated everything and all of it.
Well, Skateboarder was soo kind as to give us the cover of the Febuary Issue of the Louie photo I shot! It's my first cover for a major magazine other then the awesome ones I shot for FTK.
Plus a wonderful 10 page article with our entire trip. Randy wrote the story and I shot the photos. One of the better times I've been on! Thanks soo much to Skateboarder and the Ezekiel Skateteam! Plus: Theresa, Matt Miller, Chris Ray, Jesse from Adidas, Alex Cazanas and everyone else who helped us on our trip.

Dave Abair in Focus Magazine

In the fine words of Louie Barletta on our Ezekiel Northwest Tour

"How much did you get paid to make Dave look like an idiot."

Well its very unfortunate to both, but the reality is; 1. I didn't get paid. 2. Skateboarding has falls, and it's the falls that makes the lands soo much more sweeter. If you never fell, then skateboarding wouldn't be so hard, now would it?
