SHRED OR DEAD

Well there has been a supreme lack of updates from me lately. Truthfully it’s because I’ve been trying to keep myself really really busy. I’ve also been thinking a whole lot about how my photography practice applies to my everyday life, and where I should be moving or going with it in the near future, that is: my grad project, and putting together a portfolio or sending some kind of photos along to my magazine of choice and hope that they pay me for something.

I’ve been reconsidering a lot of things lately, how I could make my life a little more portable, flexible. And when it comes down to it I just need to start working harder right now. I’ve had my good friend Jason Edwards tell me before that I’m one of the hardest working people he knows. As much as I trust Jason, I still don’t believe it. I still think I need to work harder, I need to do more to get what I feel I need to do accomplished. And as things change I just keep feeling as if I’ve got more work to do.

And ironically, the times where I’ve been most satisfied as of late have been when I’ve been doing nothing at all. Just watching movies, or sleeping in a little late. Maybe it’s the company I’ve been keeping, maybe it’s just nice to be able to shut off thinking for a while. Maybe I’m just never satisfied with what I’ve done, I think that there’s always something better I could be, or should be doing. Maybe I feel like I can’t keep up with the work of my peers (I need to stop associating with such awesome friends maybe? (sarcasm: my friends are the best. period.)).

But back to what Jason said: apparently I’m a hard worker, but I’m certain that I don’t have anything to prove my hard work quite yet.

Oh, the photo up there is Grant with an eggplant on the oververt extension at Bonsor skatepark in Burnaby BC. And below is the same trick, only from above (and different knee pads) (also, you can click the bottom picture to get to one the same dimensions as the one up top COMPLICATED).

Actually I’m not sure if I posted that second one before or not. OH WELL THERE YOU GO.
