I know the shit sucks, but its almost 15 years old. And I have no photos of myself from those years.

My Mother was sorting out paper work and what not in a junk droor today and found 3 film negs. She asked me what they were and if they were any good, I held them up at the light and BANG, they are good. If you know me, filming and shooting photos were not my thing, too much pressure. But from time to time it would happen, and about 12 years ago we skated Macs Milk every damn day. Dawson, Ian, Joe, and lots of NF guys were the locals. One day we had a contest to see who could ollie the highest, and who could ollie a garbage can the farthest out from the curb. Someone took a few photos, I think it was Dawson??? So my mom found the negs that I didn’t even know I had. Its nice because I really, I mean really have so few photos of me in my so called prime. The odd thing about it is my set up … first the shoes, I had only worn half cabs and chukka boots or some kind of vans for like 7 years straight, and then one day I though I would get SAL 23’s, because that was the shoe eveyone had switched to; and I hated them, they were too wide… and that same day I bought a new deck and new trucks from ooops skateshop in Hamilton, but they only had one set of indy trucks, so Ian bought those and I got Ventures… That was odd too, I had rode indy trucks for 10 years up until that day… the Ventures broke around the bushings in less than a week. I am happy my Mom found the negs, but I kinda wish I had half cabs and indy trucks.

This was on the film too, his name was Bill I think???
He was such a turbo and I think he still owes me money.

Holy shit.
