Photography
Today’s hobby has perverted itself into little more than something men do on their computers between porn sessions.
Artists and photographers are still out shooting, but the hobbyist of today is crippled by wasting the majority of his potentially creative efforts dicking around on his computer.
Photographic artists often bemoan this state of affairs, not seeing the great divide between themselves and the hobbyists. – Ken Rockwell ...
The way Ken writes cracks me up… sometimes similar to they way Robert Byrne teaches pool. Dry and almost making fun of you if you don’t catch on that its just sarcasm. or is it?
Ever see Rumble Fish? This here scene is ….ummm there are no words sometimes. The speed of which the clouds move in the reflection of the window, and the contrast, and the time of the story line, and the talk they are having all come together and trip me out.
Just watched over 15 Mickey Rourke movies in the last week or so… all early ones… the man had talent… really natural born to be an actor talent. And range. Massive range. From Body Heat on, it was just “on” for him.

Worst.
Joe brought his office phone to the restaurant.

Cory Wilson. Code CWills.
Thanks to a late night text from DEVO I just found out Cory Wilson has a nice interview by David Christian over at a cool site called SKATENEWSPOT
Cory at the moment is in China … must really want a WOTY pin… ha.
Anywhoo, Last time he was down in the Falls we had a fire at his Mothers, and she got all sentimental and gave Joe and I, his life mentors, an MVP picture card of Cory.
Joe, Cory and Dawson. Its an iphone picture of a picture, sorry.
Below are some pics Cory has taken!!!
Funny, Devin sent that text at a weird time… I was checking out this …
magazine, and wondering very much so what the photographers weapons of choices were/are. Cosmic. Like say I was thinking about a plate of shrimp and then some one said “plate” or “shrimp” or “plate of shrimp” ... Thats how I feel about tonight’s post.
Speaking of unconsciousness I need to hit the shit and pass out, this is one helllll of a week for morning hours at work.
Gorilla Biscuits / Quicksand
A bunch of us went to one of those Rogers Picnic gigs a few years ago. As you can see we had corn first.
Burnout and Pfriday.
First burnout…
In that burnout post there are 3 odd things… 1) Krista thought the one guy was me, and in the past I have been asked for and autograph by skaters thinking I was him. 2) Burnett wearing a burger hat. and D) the ginger dude wearing burgers old hat.
See?
Burgers hat had an anti hero patch, which reminds me… Chris Pfanner. When I fist seen some clips of his about a year or more ago, I thought ohhh shit everyone on a skateboard sucks compared to this guy. And I seem to be right, not to much coverage, but when there is, its good, right good. BATB 2 came out and he again made me realize he is just better at it then the rest of us, and that is hard to do in a video with all the girl and anti hero people. But now we have deluxe doing this Pfanner pfridays….. and sweeet jesus, he is better then I thought. Watch it again okay
My Aunt Susan drew Molly.
BA is good too.
John Cardiel in the cutts.
Official Presents, In The Cutts…
Apollo hangs out with the one and only, the man, the myth, the legend, John Cardiel… Spot check, come to Sac, come get some.
John has been in my ever changing favourite bunch of skateboarders since before he won the SOTY. The second I seen him on a board was fucking fantastic.
Every trick.
He just put his whole body and life into every trick. He wanted it.
I love that skateboarding looks out for him.
Says alot.
