Taking Care Of Business

The last week has been crazy busy. Loads of new stock arriving at the shops, and it's the most i've been out shooting this year. I have something in the works so keep your eyes peeled.

Here's a photo of Bobby Baillie to keep you going.





Ignore the light leak on the top right! Never thought i'd see the day where it was sunny enough for that to happen in Scotland.

GSS Montages

Check out this montage of three montages by 'The Glasgow Society Of Skateboarding.




Some heavy bangers in there.

Bananas

Never seen this before.



Slam potential is pretty high on that one. Dang.

Boardwalk Coney Island

For anyone who cares, i just finished making a photography book. It's a series of portraits and candid photographs from Coney Island NYC. I shot half in 2009 and the rest in 2010 on four separate visits.

The book is 104 pages with 50 photos (including the front cover). You can check the preview HERE and is available to buy HERE

Please buy it, the photos are awesome and it's been a cold winter and i need to pay my electricity bill.

Grey Issue 4

Issue 4 has just landed in both shops. As if that isn't good enough, check the edit from Hold Tight Henry that accompanies it.

FOCUS SKATE STORE

Boom.

Doubles

This was shot a couple of days before Perth Skatepark officially opened. The council got in touch with the shop about having a little private skate before the park was open to the public.
A good night was had and some radical maneuvers were thrown down. I think this only took two goes to shoot? Not bad.

Stu Graham and Colin Campbell double airs.

Back In The Day - Elliot Gowans

I can't remember when i shot this, i'm guessing around 2001? I seemed to have shot a lot of stuff around that time. Elliot was one of the first people i saw do a kickflip, and as i recall a shov-it. I was stoked.

New Camera Hype Shit.

I managed to get out on Sunday to test my new camera. I've always been hyped on panoramic photos so i bit the bullet and bought one, why not?
It's a Range Finder so what you see through the viewfinder is a little bit off, it'll take a few shoots to get used to it but i'm stoked on the results.

Unfortunately i could only get a hold of Miles at short notice, bummer.

Backtail





Hopefully be shooting more ambient skate stuff soon.

Miles, you're alright.

Back In The Day - Lugs

A Bristo local for a good few years, if you were their when he was, i gaurantee you've moved out of his way more than once. He skated fast, and didn't give a fuck if you were in his way.
He's joint first in my book (along with Skeetz) for peaked beanie wearer of the 2000's.

Blunt Transfer

Drake Jones

I used to have this sequence on my wall, check the catch on that.



Definitely in my top 10 skaters of the 90's, and had the best hair in skateboarding handsdown.

The Garage

More footage from Zander, he's been getting back on it.
Featuring - Craig Mitchell, Gary Lithgow & Matty Welsh

Raw

A few tricks of Daniel & Craig Courtesy of Zander. Not sure why Zander films Daniel smoking, that's twice now. It's not big and it's not clever.



Smokers are jokers.

Back In The Day - The Alex Johnston Edit

Same deal, i couldn't change the music but it's decent enough. Short but sweet.

Back In The Day - Bobby Baillie

I've probably shot more photos with Bobby than everyone else put together. These were taken when the steps at the Omni Centre had just been built and the blind bumps hadn't been put in yet.


Ollie


Kickflip


Check that footy son!


Morbid is sitting on a shit load of footage. Hopefully he'll do something with it, would be sick to see all that old footage.
