Who inspires the way you shoot and approach skate photography?

When I first started looking at skate photos I don’t think I actually once thought about who shot a photo, I was just like this one is awesome or this is sick. The first person I learned the name of and thought about was Daniel Harold Sturt. Legend. His shit just has always made me try to make every photo feel unique.

You’ve had the opportunity to shoot a lot of photos for DC shoes, does that feel like a dream come true?

It’s definitely been dope, getting to go on trips to different countries for skating is a dream for sure. I loved DC when I was a kid so it’s all pretty surreal, It’s a great thing. I’m pretty hyped on everything I have gotten to create for them.

5 reasons why Taco Bell or Chipotle is better than the other.

A: Hold on dude you trying to compare a tier 1 and tier 2 fast food to each other? I won’t stand for that shit, if I see another what’s better In-N-Out or Shake Shack article I’m gonna square up. How you gonna compare a fucking $3 burger to a $9 one? I’ll hit T-Bell if I’m trying to only spend $5, I’ll hit Chipotle if I’m trying to steal hot sauce.
