Bonnie Macfarlane
Last thursday I went to Reid Menzer with Bonnie to shoot a large drop in the park. The drop top was at my shoulders and large for anyone to hit let alone a girl.

Doug Usko: Portraits of People I Know
Doug is one of the first people I ever snowboarded with at Ski Roundtop when I was in my early teens. Now 7 years later we still skate in Harrisburg when we can and Philadelphia for my first time last month.

My First Roll Of Kodak E100VS
Bought a roll of this film off the advice of Sam Muller and have to say it’s now my favorite super saturated slide film. I like it more then Fuji Velvia because it’s easier to scan and has much better skin tones. I shot a few frames at Big Blue with Alex, two portraits of Olivia Arden, and tried out a double exposure with her also.

FDR Skatepark Philadelphia
I have not been to Philadelphia since when I was in middle school and went to a Flyers hockey game with my father. So when Alex Kinttle called and asked me if I wanted to go skate FDR park I quickly agreed and set a date for our trip. The hour and half ride went quick as we listened to music and dealt with Dustin being a little shit and making us all laugh. Once we got to the park I took some time to skate the concrete park and rode the full pipe working on my transitions.
After skating for a while and taking a few safety breaks Alex and myself found this weird crumbling wall part of the bowl to shoot. Dropping in from the far right side Alex was able to get enough speed for the feature and we quickly captured the shot. Next on our list was the pink pool that sits atop of the park. The deep side of the pool was to big for anyone to do anything to crazy on so we rode the smaller side. Alex preformed a backside tailslide and Weston Petroski trick of chose was a rock and roll. Before we left Bonyee shot high up the American flag wall.
FDR was a great time and I will be sure to return.

Pennsylvania Skateboarding
Now that it’s summer and I don’t have a job I have been skateboarding quite a bit and have been getting better in the last 2 months then I have in the past 5 years. My total bag of tricks is as follows Ollie, Ollie off objects (I count that as a tick in my book), Heel Flip, Frontside Shove it, Frontside 180, and Backside Boardslide. The main reason for my success is the PIRATE skateboard I have been riding thanks to Alex.
I also got to shoot some skateboarding the other week with Doug Usko at Mop Top. Matt Roberge tall ass came down with some friends to ride and film that weekend also and the footage will be in an edit soon.
Summer has been good so far and hopefully I will have some more time spent skating and shooting. The last two weeks have been dull as hell.
