Fun! 35mm

The first 3 photos were all taken with a kodak disposable water camera around sunset at 62nd street steel pier in Virginia Beach. The waves were absolutely horrible but we managed to have a blast thanks to Sam Cocke and Freedom surf shop for letting us ride all sorts of whacky boards. Then the one of Tony was supposed to be a group shot but ol Billy was too busy laughing on his stomach in front of me. It was a great morning anyway...look at Tonys face damnit! Hes so happy! The last one was from the same morning, Billy Jaquis took of me with his water cam. Surf early with your friends, then go get breakfast together.

WATER CAM! 35mm

I still have a lot of film/photos from the trip to scan or develop and whatnot - however here are some water camera shots. The intention usually with the water cam is to take pictures of you and your friends surfing...but it rarely works out because its hard to do both. You'll lug it out there, put it in your mouth, or stuff it in your little pocket and before you know it, summer is over and there are STILL somehow photos left on the damn thing. So of course not too many pictures of surfing but some good happy people shots and water visions for those who cant swim! Most of these are around the Nicoya peninsula in Costa Rica. Cabuya, Los Cedros, Mal Pais, Boca Barranca, and Santa Teresa.

Mini Update

1.Parker's roll from the revenge run - love the picture. super blown out disposable camera success!
2. Leaving Alajuela Costa Rica - Casey Smith
3. VA-Swiss-VA-Belgium surf crew (minus a few others) Santa Teresa Costa Rica
4. Filipe's Hasselblad medium format camera - Santa Teresa
I have about 6 rolls of film I gotta develop, so there should be a ton of stuff coming soon from the revenge run to costa rica and other things!

Revenge Run 2 35mm

Period correct exposures for how I imagine old motorcycle photos. These were all shot on a crappy 35mm camera TIME magazine gave away with new subscribers years ago. Favorite pictures are of walt - he looks free and stoked, another thing I relate to motorcycles. My Triumph broke down about 4 hours before getting home but with some help from my nearby cousin he picked me and my bike up. He let me stash it at his house for a few days, while he gained a bottle of moonshine and crown. I then rode home on the back of parkers Honda 500 for the rest of the trip (thanks parker) The trip was great and we met the nicest coolest guys ever in North Carolina, Black Sheep Misfits. They helped steve out with his broken springer and helped the rest of us out with great attitudes, pizza and beer. The highlight of the trip for me. Motorcycles are good.

chase pittmans catalog collection

This is Chase Pittman's (striped shorts) entire swimsuit catalog for the upcoming summer of 2011. The question here is, is it more tough to wear short shorts, or baggy shorts with skulls on them? Is it tougher to ride a big ass motorcycle or is it more insane to ride a moped in traffic? Would you rather be in an 80s hair metal band or be a prodigy on the cello? ahh the questions of life.

Electrical CB200 / CB175

Last week I got commissioned (hah) to fix a 76 CB200 for a guy I just met named Jordan. The bike seemed for the most part alright but it was'nt recharging the battery. This was my first electrical fix on a bike, aside from re-wiring the BSA and other small things here and there - so I wasnt very excited. Like most people I too hated electrical work on bikes, or anything really but I wanted to get over it and accept that electrical too, is NOT impossible. Through everything I learned a ton, Im not afraid anymore of electrical issues and I should hopefully be getting a surfboard shaped out of the deal (Jordan makes boards.) I will gladly fix a motorcycle for someone for trade offs like these. POS fun, late night ride with craig, revenge run coming up, summer, camping, surfing, gardening...good things friends, good things.

FINE ART

The result of napkin drawing for years has placed me into the fine art catagory. Recently being interviewed for the MOMA summer lift off show titled - "Fat people and crayons" Has got me very excited. More to come. Above is a scene of role playing obviously.
