Happy to me!
I started taking "Birthday Self-Portraits" in 2003 at the age of 31. This photo was taken inside our "first home", a hut built for us in the Bolivian rain forest. I had just been woken up by Tsimane women and children gathering outside our hut at some ungodly hour and wasn't in the best of moods.

Ken's Print Club.
I use to want to be a photojournalist. But I'm not one, and probably never will do such work. I'm way to opinionated and emotionally attached to my photography.
But Kenneth Jarecke is a true photojournalist. (One of the best I have seen in quite sometime.) It's not often that a photographers work stuns me these days. But Kenneth's has.
Please make sure you check out his "Print Club" and invest in some photography.

Neil Blender 1990.
Go 3:30 into the video. This is classic, Neil discussing graphics from 1990, in what is possibly Stratosphere?

Quite possiably the best thing to happen in Skateboarding in years.
This was bound to happen. I just wish the X-Games would have committed to pulling the trigger and killing the whole vert thing once and for all.
Everyone is going to want an invite to this contest next year.
Pads are going to be come cool again, mark my word!
Check out the coverage.

Quote from Concrete Disciples:
The Don't Dew It Tour.---
It was no great coincidence that the Rumble in Ramona was scheduled precisely on the same days as the Orlando, FL Dew Tour finals. This meant that any vert monsters that might have turned this event into a spectacle of out-jocking one another were nowhere near the corner junkyard in the desert. Even if they happened to show up, they would have been denied unless invited. Some riders may even have been turned away at the gate. We submit here, the rules of the Rumble for your approval:
1. The List is Law-If you're not on it, you don't skate. Period.
2. Tricks are half of the points.
3. Style is half of the points.
4. Taking this event too seriously? You get egged.
5. This is meant for people to have fun and skate with each other and NOT against one another.
Now numbers 4 and 5 are quite possibly the best rules on the list. This shit is specifically targeted towards those who might have forgotten why the fuck we all started skateboarding in the first place. It was fun once, right? When camaraderie mattered, when cliques were irrelevant, and when the money simply wasn't there. We skated for own liberty and freedoms, and we expressed ourselves in a way that could not have a dollar value attached to it. So when we all arrived here in the present, in Ramona, the competitive aspect was also tightly controlled, in other words the awards were something designed around guys pushing themselves and having a blast rather than taking down other people for big money. And speaking of money, none really changed hands. The awards were designed to add something to the already hot expression session, targets to shoot at, if in fact anyone cared. The aspect of liberty shouldn't be lost on anyone here. Free and expressive skateboarding in the free outdoor air, free of compulsory do or die trick lists, far from the prying eyes of mainstream America. The way it was always meant to be.This belongs to us, it always has and it always will.

Skateboard History Lesson
SneakerFreaker! "They are for their time. It’s interesting to think that if they got their product right, they could actually be really huge now.
Yeah I don’t know, I just think when skateboarding died in about ‘82, they died with it. I remember in Skateboarder or Thrasher – they had a Hobie sale – five dollars for a pair. You could send away to this one liquidating company for kryptonite wheels for five dollars, decks for ten dollars. The death of skateboarding killed a lot of brands like that, I guess they just went back into their original business again."
Repeat after me. Learn from the past and do not repeat your mistakes!
