SFCC photo story

nose grind






The entire time I'm at the falls I only think of one thing, it's the same thing I'v thought about all week, skating. I look at stairs and picture kickflips, benches and I see frontside shove its to nosegrinds. So this week I went all through the college and started a spot book. I took pictures of all the skateable spots at the college from the angle that I would shoot them if I were actually takings pictures of someone skating them. Eventually I plan to skate all the spots and get pictures of myself and my friends at them, but for now there's just the spots. I labeled them to so that everyone could imagine the trick.
This story was shot more all over campus than in on particular spot. There weren't many people around because I took the pictures later in the evening, but the people that were around were pretty rushed to get to class so all the shots lack people, but as I said before the locations were really just spots that I want to skate and see being skated. It's sort of different for me to describe the scenes because when most people would see those benches and they would think of sitting down and resting, but when I saw them there was a different connotation, I thought of skating and different tricks, then I thought of how I would capture a shot of that trick.
