Tucker backside feeble pop-over on this railing by my house. Scanning negs kinda sucks dudes. Making prints is way better. I feel that this is a little too mish-mash in whatever colour cast it’s taking on. At least when I scan prints I have a print to match it to. I feel like I’m kind just making things up scanning negs. Though, I did learn something about scanning negs today, as a result the scan you see is much more tonally rich than the first efforts were.
I’m hoping I get to scanning some more of the van-dyke stuff I have from the school year at home tonight (I am scanning and writing this from my school right now), and I’m planning sooner or later on putting together some kind of “State of the Nation” address on my life. I feel really good about a lot of stuff right now, and I’d like to put it all in one place.
Oh, and for next time I shoot some skateboarding, might try another stop under for the background, might try not including the tripod leg (mind you, it’s not on other frames, but this is the best frame?), and I think I might be a little late on the timing? I like how close he is to the rail’s wood bit, cause that’s gnarly, but I feel as if I caught him a little into the pop-over. Opinions?

Like the tones. I’d love to see more non-traditional skate imagery tones like this.
