My friend Chris skateboards, so I bugged him for a while to let me take
some skateboarding photos for him. (actually, it was the other way
around, he kept on bugging me after seeing my road trip photos)
I need more experience taking them, it sure was fun tho, but I think
it would be easier if I wore clothes I don't mind getting dirty. Because
lying on the ground makes for more dramatic pictures.

I like being a photographer :) If only I had more friends to take pictures for...
Check out my other photos too, especially ones from my 6000 miles road trip to

@flashlivesforever_29 - yay, You'll be better than the trees right, right? xD
@yello_lego - hah what would you want pictures of if you had a photographer there?
@azn_x_strike - almost as cool as you :) We got hassled by some stupid 12 year old kids, haha, Chris told them "Are you kids retarded or something? Go bug someone else"
@ch0w - yeah, some tasteful graffiti there :)
@memail_dot_com - @Peteismyhero - thanks :D
@DriftingDeadly - ahhhh good catch! He doesn't talk about it much because we have almost no soccer fans here in Canada. He loves his team tho :D
@EaTxYoUxALivE - hehe, not a fan of these I guess?
@Sk1z0fr3n1c_Fr3d - ah if only! I think it'd be great, I need more practice too for indoor lighting
@pRInCeSSaSiA09 - and you too, I'd gladly do it, too bad I live too far away.
@XtremePsionic - well, trees can't wear pretty clothes, though they stand very still xP
@XtremePsionic - oh very much. the color is spectacular! that's just the word that came to mind :]
@XtremePsionic - Playing violin, maybe. :P
Awesome shots!
Gorgeous!
great photo
excellent eye!
Great pictures. I wish I was that good.
these are fun to look at
I'm always dying to take pictures of my family and friends for them but none of them let me even though I'm a pretty good photographer and love doing it... I even have Photoshop to assure them they won't be ugly! :( Unfortunately it doesn't really work that often.
At any rate, beautiful photos! What kind of camera you packin'? ;)
Those are awesome shots. I love the shot in black and white. It's fantastic!
@seedsower - Thankyou m'dear, it's so nice to have a famous xangan drop by and say hi :D
@VersaGratis - Glad you liked them, I went out with him again last night and took some shots, but night shots are a lot more difficult.
@laughingfairy - thankyou :)
@menskeet - Ah thanks for the compliment, my friend was real nice and tried really hard so I could get the shots I wanted
@willow_ann209 - Cool, do you photograph too?
@Cliffycliffz - Hah yeah, Chris wouldn't stop telling his friends and guys at work about the photos, he was pretty excited :)
@throwmeapiece - I know eh? People are so shy! I find it easier when you keep telling them they look great on camera, and keep encouraging them, give them free prints etc :P I use a Canon 40D with a bunch of different lenses. What about you?
@TheCheshireGrins - that's my favorite too! Although Chris doesn't like that one as much, he likes the ones showing how he does the trick from start to finish. Do you take pictures too?
