I have so many favorite photos from my trip to the U.A.E. a few weeks ago, that can't help but keep sharing! This one is actually brought to you from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. There's no other way to put it....this place is EPIC!
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 36 - A Different Side Of The 7 Stars - Dubai, UAE
To continue with the theme from last week's Photo Of The Week at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhbai, here is another signature 7-star hotel. The Burj Al Arab is well known as being the famous "sail boat" shaped structure in the middle of Jumeirah Beach. On my last trip to Dubai, I managed to get a night photo of this hotel but after a couple of years, I wanted a new perspective on it...
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 34 - New Years At The Burj Khalifa - Dubai, UAE
I'm happy to be able to start 2017 off with some fresh new photos from another part of the world. I've only spent New Years Eve outside of New York once before but this was the first time I spent it internationally. Once I found out that I was going to be in Dubai, this was one of the first images that popped into my head to capture while I was out here...
Read More#TBT - Franco Cammayo - TopSoul Of Sorts - Staten Island, NY
Everyone has one of those people in their crew, someone who is a master of funky tricks, always does something out of the ordinary and can most likely catch a letter on everyone with them in a game of skate. In our crew, this person was Franco Cammayo...
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 33 - Handheld Long Exposures - New York, NY
There are a lot of arguments out there about mirrorless vs. DSLRs. Both systems have their pros and cons but there are certain features on my Sony A7 cameras that I wouldn't be able to live without if I switched back to DSLR...
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 32 - More West Coast Silhouettes - Venice Beach, California
As mentioned in my last post about Venice Beach, one of the best parts about this area of California are the sunsets. I think the best way to utilize sunsets are by shooting silhouettes. They're one of the only ways to isolate the colors and contrast in the sky without capturing a typical boring landscape photo...
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 31 - Holidays in Venice - Venice Beach, California
I took a quick trip to LA this past week to hang out see some friends, skate around and shoot some photos. I didn't get to shoot as many photos as I'd hoped but at least I got to check out the sunset one night in Venice Beach...
Read MoreThe Past 20 Years Of My Life
2016 marks the 20th anniversary of me trying to jump around and do tricks on my skates. I've had this concept in my head to make this video for a few years now and the time has finally come. My original idea was the find a photo or video clip from every year from 1996 to 2006 and show the progression throughout the video but there was 1 year where I didn't have anything so I had to ditch that plan. I'm still proud of the way it came out and I can't wait to make another one of these in 10 more years!
Read MorePhoto Of The Week 29 - One Of The Last - New York, NY
The thing about winter time in New York is that you don't get as many of these magical sunsets like you do throughout the summer. As the temperature begins to drop at the end of the year, they become less and less frequent...
Read MoreMy List Of Timeless Blading Sections (Part 1???)
I feel like every blader on earth can unanimously agree on some of the most impactful or quite possibly "best" sections or profiles ever made. As you would guess, some would include parts from classics such as "Brain Fear Gone" or "Coup De Tat". As I was surfing around on the YouTube, I realized that there are a few of my personal favorites, old and new, that have had to have made as much of an impact on other people as they did to me. I titled this post "...Part 1???" because I feel like there are many more sections that I either couldn't find or just couldn't remember, so we'll see where this leads...
