SHRED OR DEAD

This was another entry into push.ca‘s First Photos contest. I’m not sure why I didn’t put it up here. Probably lack of time or organization. Anyways, it’s Jeremie Plisson, front blunt; gapping in and gapping out at the newly built and aptly named Cambie Street Plaza. Not a skatepark, but it’s damn close.

I’ve spent my evening watching Who Cares, The Duane Peters Story, and various other videos on the internets. I also should have gone to check out Color‘s release party, but I’ve got cold pre-paid beer in the fridge here, and it’s cold and rainy outside. The end result is really wanting to go out skating, why isn’t there a decent indoor spot in Vancouver that I’m aware of?

The other side effect of watching videos that get me stoked is that I realize that I’m not shooting enough. Partially due to the cost of film, partially due to not having enough time between work and other obligations. I have this list of equipment that I’d like to have that just seems to be growing larger all the time. Pocket Wizards, Quantum Flashes, Hasselblad, fisheyes, Nikon f5 or f6 and time. The other thing that videos reminds me of is how much music has been missing from my day to day since my iPod was stolen over a year ago, and my computer shit the bed halfway through my last semester of school. I just want to start producing more I guess. It’s difficult, but I’ll work on it. I need to work on saving some dollars so that eventually I can make things full time. Oh boy, this is the line where the blog becomes too much livejournal that it should be. So goodnight!
