I would like to think that I am partially responsible for Jesse James Taylor‘s new found enthusiasm for film. Especially seeing as I hooked him up with the roll of film that he just scanned and uploaded to his Flickr account. Hell I even snuck him into the photo department at school and re-learned him how to process his own film (and gave him fancy developers out of my personal stash).
Anyways, I guess the real reason I’m posting them up here would be because I’m way too vain, and he took some photos of me! The one above in the park on 4th, and the two below: one about as high as I’ve ever been carving in the fullpipe, the other of a not super awesome F/S air, but I like the photo and the composition. Anyways, keep an eye on this guy, he’s pretty keen and asks a lot of questions.
FULLPIPES
And you know what, this one of Wee is pretty rad as well.
Night session on Sunday ended with Grant’s BS air over four dudes side by side in the bowl. Vancouver skate legend Wee sitting in the background with his kid Tyler. Everyone was ripping man. And my pal Jesse James took a few silver frames of myself, which he’ll probably be scanning sometime tomorrow night since the negs are still hanging in the cabinet about twenty five feet away from me (in the lab at school).
In other news, I’ve yet to tell the shop officially, but I’m going to go on a skate trip to California with the Push team. They’ve asked me to come along as their photographer, and honestly it’s an opportunity I can’t say no to. I’m letting my teachers know over the next two days, and once I’ve officially cleared it with them, I’m a goin’.
Anyways, I need to run so I can get a whole shitload of things done over the next ten days, including some birthdayin’ for my pal TRH. Happy Birthday Reilly!
PS: THE SCAN IS SHITE, as per usual, I haven’t printed this yet, but was excited to show some dudes online. <33

I’d like to state, for the record, the last thing I did in Newmarket was have tea with Monica Lee at Timmy’s, and then bombed the biggest hill in our neighbourhood. Even though it was really out of the way for me to get home.
LONG LIVE GOING REALLY REALLY FAST.
