Taking photos of skaters is weird. I was doing it today, again, and really, it’s a completely different thing from photographing other kinds of athletes or doing regular portraits. It requires you to be very close to the action- you’ve got to be careful not to make yourself an obstacle while being in the middle of things, basically. Anyway, yeah. I’ve been off the last month. not shooting as well as I usually do. I’ll get it sorted. I’m hoping it’s just the winter blues, which usually go away as things warm up.

Not about these photos, which are decent. I’m going to a rally today, in solidarity with the people in wisconsin. It’s another one of those moments in history. Revolutions across the world. Protests here in the US. People who are nostalgic for the late 60’s, wake up and get your ases down to the capitol. It’s a good time to be alive. And it is Oklahoma. Not a lot likely to happen here. (I know I just jinxed myself. The knowing negates it). But still, anything can happen. Anyway, enjoy the photos and pay attention to twitter for updates on the ground.

This shit was a blast. seriously a lot of fun. As in, we’re going to have to do it again. Thanks to (in no particular order): Amber (hair and makeup), Brian (lights/grip), KJ, and Meghan (models). Anyway, yeah. Photos. I’m splitting this into two posts to ease the server load. Next one in a hot minute.

well, I opened this tab yesterday, and the dream I was going to write about has pretty much evaporated from my memory. Oh well. The first photo is from elemental, at there new shop, the first morning they were open… it was sort of beautiful how thin their operation was, and how well it worked. There was one woman with a square reader taking credit cards, and one barista making amazing espresso drinks. It’s gottena bit better now, even… I think they have heat in their building, and some more furniture. Really exciting to see a new business start up an do so well.
