Sorry for not posting the past few days...
Leo wants to adopt children and name them after exotic fruits... weird.
Don't you just hate it when you have a fork in one hand, garbage in your other hand, and you throw the fork into the garbage can by accident... things like that have happened to me a lot lately.
Giver would rather get a root canal then go to a Leafs game.
Here's Adam doing a tre flip with wet leaves on the landing:
Adam Hopkins, 360 Flip
Here's a sunset I took with the Bronica:
Me and TJ took an adventure up to Grouse Mountain, we wanted to touch snow, but apparently it costs 30 bucks to ride the lift to the top, so no snow for us... yet. Here's Teej:
This one is for you mom:

Took the bronny out the other day for the first time ever, had to get used to it. Shot a roll of Fuji Astia 100, all of the shots turned out, other then ones with horrible timing (my fault), here is my very first shot with medium format:
After Jordan slayed the brown rail (last post) Machnau showed up and raped it with warm up tricks (I was stoked), here's Machnau and Magnus eyeing it out:
Here's Jordan doing an ollie (no hammers yet, just warming the camera up):
Look at the colours.....mmmmm:
Can't wait until I can shoot on a sunny day...wow... film is the best.

Went to skate plaza for a bit, then we rolled 20 deep downtown, Jordan Repin and Mike Schulze slayed the brown rail at Bricktown, here's three shots:
Jordan Repin, Frontside Smith
Jordan Repin, Frontside Boardslide

Woke up, was able to see the mountains for a change, hit up some Fatihs, me and TJ tightened up our shit at Antisocial, and then we went skating with Giver. We went to Richmond Skatepark, never been before, here is photos I took of each of them:
Giver, 5-0 Grab
TJ Koskela, Rock n' Roll
Then we went looking for some spots and failed, so we came back home and I got a deliver notice in the mail box... hopefully it's the Bronica, I'll have to pick up the package tomorrow. I also got a rude hydro bill, lame. Then we all bombed down Main Street to plaza, almost died along the way.
Dustin is coming here Saturday, which means some more photos will be up soon.
Stay tuned.

Here is a pic from a little while back, decided to put it up now:
Adam Dufour, Ollie
You can see the security guard coming out if you look close (click the picture to view the big one)... and that shit is massive, I don't know where that pop came from?
Just got a new lens in the mail, SMC Takumar 135mm f/3.5 m42 mount, got it cheap on Ebay, stoked. Ripped out the bunkbed last night, and cleaned up the place, so much different now. Where's the dry weather?
|
Day started, rain went away, and the sun came out... time to skate. Took some shots with JF, all I'm gonna say is he's got pop. Started to get chilly later on so I grabbed my sweater and headed to plaza to fill my skateboard appetite. Took the new cam with me and got a dope sequence of Takeshi:

I bet you can't do that!
So the Bronica is actually on it's way now... stoked.
More pics soon!

TJ has arrived.
If anyone wants to buy a Burton Shaun White snowboard or a Canon 40d camera, let me know.
|
Fuck yes.
TJ moves in today too! Bento box #5 will be in order.
|
Someone is getting shitfaced tonight, saw this out my window, had to take a picture. Sorry for the crop, don't have a zoom lens for my digital.
Did a bunch of cleaning and chilled out with bros.
Went to Leo's Camera and held the XPan and the Bessa R in my hands, beautiful. The Linhof Technorama was so crazy I didn't even want to ask to hold it. 6x17 negatives...
So much camera stuff, and not enough money... donations can be sent to my email, thanks.

Been eating Mr. Noodles on the daily and saving up for camera stuff. I did my daily check in the classifieds on SP (skateperception.com) and noticed on the main page that one of my photos was the "Photo Of The Day". The site is made up of young skaters and mostly everything gets ripped on... hard, because that is what the internet is for, but they seem to like the shot!
Beyond stoked.

Giver, Frontside Smith
There was a camera swap meet yesterday, and I went in short cashed, and swindled my way through into getting lots of sweet stuff. Pretty much just waited until they were packing up and they gave me good prices on everything. I was the youngest person there, most people were in their 50's haha.
