shadow ghost nose manny in front of an FSU frat house.


nose manny inside the radio station we used to dj at.


frontnose on the roof of the radio station, capital building in the back.


kickflip on the same roof.


ollie up to wallride on the tile on the same roof. straight drop on the other side.


ollie north off the bump on the same roof. note how the capital building looks like a cock and balls.


shifty ollie off a sidewalk bump in staten island, ny.


nose pivot on makeshift quarter in brooklyn, ny.


back 5050 in long island city, queens, ny.


back 5-0 at same spot.

the scans are pretty bad, but a couple of them look pretty sick printed. i took them with my 35mm. i will post more of other people later.

[Schmitty]

I like the idea of keeping this thread to photos you have taken... Nice Eby!

[elastic back]

thanks guys.

here are a couple old self-portraits:

i set this up on a timer and it took forever to get because i had to hit the shutter, run up the stairs throw my board down and pop into the manny. flushing, queens, ny.


i set this up on a tripod and had my friend, sho,  hit the shutter. smith grind in williamsburg, brooklyn, ny. this actually made it on the crailtap front page pack then when they were doing a tapper's guest front page posting photos submitted by readers.

these are of my late friend, sho ma. RIP.

dude that second one was way sick... if i may add a small critique? for the first one, i always try and get "where they were, where they are, and where they are going." i kinda came up with that, seems to work well enough. more qp would be better... but thats if i had to nit pick...peace

thanks.

yeah I know what you mean about the first one. just out of the frame to the bottom is the bowl's corner, so it was a squeeze getting that much of the quarter in. wider lens would have helped - that was 50mm. but I agree with that rule, that's how you know when a non-skater took a skate photo - when its just a dude in the air, with absolutely no point of reference, haha.

I like the NY shots. I've been dying to get down there and get nerdy with my camera.

[elastic back]

thanks. since i film more than shoot photos, i have hardly even take advantage of the ny aesthetic and i feel like few photogs actually do. ying is pretty good about it. my problem is this. i have these ideas and visions, but i am not able to implement them due to a lack of knowhow. i am so not a photo nerd and i have only taken a couple classes back in nyu, but i know nothing about flashes and whatnot (hence liking tps steve's exposures...they are lit super nice).

[elastic back]

oh yeah, and if you come through in the next couple months, hit me up. i got spots for days.

[bucky fellini]

cool, man. NY is one of the cities I want to visit most out of anywhere. skating those streets is high on my list. now that I'm on the east coast I should make it happen. I'm only a 2 and a half hour flight away.

just don't fly into one of our plane's engine during that flight, goose.

what city are you in? i will likely be out of here by the end of march, so if you come after that i will just have to tell you spots, maybe link you up with people.

here are some random other skate shots i took:


rob campbell - fs ollie at the old kcdc ramp in williamsburg, brooklyn.


ollie to fakie.


taji ameen - bs lipslide on a file cabinet in the basement of the building he lived in, manhattan.

noseblunt pop-in in williamsburg, brooklyn.



scottie schwartz - slappy in manhattan.



nose manual shot from a super tall ladder in some photo studio loft in manhattan.

haha, yeah they think it was canadian geese that fucked up that plane. I'm in halifax. so its really not that far. I doubt I'll get there by march though - it would probably be summer or fall if it happens this year. I'll let you know either way though.

[bucky fellini]

what do you shoot with, steve?

you get really nice colour. I'm assuming you rock the full SLR set up?
