Looking Back – Skateboarders getting high
Posted by Sean on Nov 19th, 2007 | 14 comments
These photos were taken back in March of 2004. I was taking a class at the New York Open Center, and I had an assignment called “Movement”. I decided to go to the South Street Seaport to take some shots, and I came across these guys skateboarding behind the shops and restaurants. Their skills seemed a step above those of the average skateboarder I’ve seen… they were catching some incredible air.

Very impressive photography! I am a skateboarder, not a photographer, so I wonder how you got such good photos. I don’t wonder how the dudes got so much air, though. Nice!

Really great stuff. Where can I see more your works on this topic?
Very impressive photography skills there! Very clear pictures with high resolution! Although I don’t really skate that much but I am really impress by the pictures taken! I will let my friends know about, they are skate boarding experts.

they’re great. skate photo’s work really well in black and white for some reason.
Great pictures to say the least, at first I thought the title of the post was referring to something else haha. Good job though for sure, you’ve successfully praised the art of skateboarding.
