Got my Rollei r3 negatives back yesterday (they were drying), and I'm super stoked on them! When I was coming back home on the bus I saw some guy on a motorcycle get mangled by a car going like 60 through a red light and the guy flew and slammed into the sidewalk. He was grabbing his back in pain and everyone just stood around and watched... it was the most disturbing thing I've seen while I've been in Vancouver. Then when I got home it was scan time! Here's two that I like:
Wee Wong, Backside Fullpipe
Dylan Davies Tearin' Shit Up
(the rest of them are in the album)

I love Craigslist... I bought a Polaroid back for my Bronica for $10! Pretty much never used, yes! Also sold some radio slaves the other day. It was sunny the past few days, but then the rain made another appearance today, so I went and developed a 35mm roll (Rollei r3) with Dylan at Emily Carr (he goes there)... they have so much photo equipment there I almost shit my pants. The negatives turned out really good. I have to go pick them up tomorrow and then I will scan them so you guys can see them. Bronica will be here soon...

Went to the Thirsty Duck with Leo last night in New West, the place has 10 pin bowling on the bottom level, 5 pin bowling on the second level, and a bar up top. It was cheap tuesday bowling so we played two games of 10 pin and then had some pitchers and played pool, fun night!
Then this morning I bought a flash meter off some guy from Craigslist, also got a photo scanner and my 35mm film developed a few days ago. I am so stoked on how some of the shots turned out... I was expecting light leaks and scratched film, but no! I just added the photos to an album, so check those out! Here are a few that I like from the bunch:
Stefan Janoski!
Antisocial
Giver drinking his 6th beer ever!
Kyle Desaulniers, Frontside Overcrook
Sam Hampton, Frontside Boardslide
Sam Hampton, Backside 5-0
Mmmmm, colours!
I also saw a girl wearing mint O.G D3 shoes on the bus the other day, second time seeing her with them on, if only I had my camera... Speaking of cameras, my Bronica is on its way, can't wait. Time to start saving for film...

Went to Surrey on Saturday, met up with Giver and we were going to go to Maple Ridge, but ended up going to some tranny park in Coquitlam (tranny = transistion skateboarding obstacle, for those non-skaters out there). Neither of us were feelin' it, so we went to his buddies house for a poker night... and as always came home with nothing. Got home around 4am I'm guessing, fell asleep as soon as I got home, and then Adam Dufour calls me at 8:30am to go skateboarding, great... hardly any sleep in two days. Put some candy in me and I was ready to go.
So we went and picked up JF and drove around without a destination hoping to find some spots to skate and get some photos on, and we happened to find some. Here's some photos I took:
Adam Dufour, Backside 5-0
Adam Dufour, Ollie
here's a second angle of the spot:
Adam Dufour, Ollie
(also note that the kicker flattens out on the top, so it's not really a kicking kicker)
I tried to get a shot with JF but we're gonna have to reshoot that, so that'll be up here pretty soon. Then we ate some Chinese food on Robson, which I suppose was my Thanksgiving dinner, haha, at least it was good.

Met up with Adam and Mikey at Hastings yesterday, here's a shot I got of Mikey right before one of his bearings gayed out on him:
Mikey Klinkhamer, Method
Then Adam and I went on a top secret mission, after that I got a shot of him doing an ollie in the dark:
Adam Hopkins, Ollie
Just a fun and chill day, more to come.

Went to plaza to skate the other day, and when I got off the bus realized I forgot my skateboard... yes it really can happen.
I'm bored so here's a crazy picture of the day:
(no I didn't take it)

It has been shitty outside lately, just cold and rainy. I got my ass out of the house two nights ago, got some sushi and then went to AntiSocial. Mike McDermott got a board with Habitat, and they were having a party. Some names from Habitat were there, but Stefan Janoski was ripping the mini-ramp... that made my day.
Then yesterday was sunny, so I went to skate plaza for a bit then shot some photos, here's one of Julian I got (the rest are being used for something I'm adding to the site soon):
Julian Lansigan, Kickflip
I took some film shots too, but I gotta finish off the rolls and get them developed, then buy a scanner with the money I don't have yet. My laptop battery peaced out the other day too, sweet.
...and listen to Dangerdoom. Now.
