october 11ish weekend. (columbus day)

christopher columbus day blows dick. so does thanksgiving.

but skateboarding does not.

i went home to skate and shit and have chinese food and chill and all that. and i havent been at the everson in the fall in a while. best feeling ever. some shit went down but i dont really remember or care or whatever. herb skated into an island in the fountain and it was fucked cause who or why would you try that shit. hes a crazy mother fuckkkkkkar.

but

chris gaiser ollie can

this dude ollied the can far out past the block. and other pople did stuff but this made a good photo.

and today was rad too, but uh shit man. id ont know.

and this was funny.

it was a good fight

actualy fuck that, it was hilarous

and then there was an art show at the gear factory
it was kind of neat because i never been there

wowz

chilson's space minus the artwork.

sean's paintings

oh and VERY IMPORTANT

read this

http://www.thenewshouse.com/story/revitalizing-recess-coffee-house

the article says that adam williams and some other guy bought recess off chilson because he wasnt being successful (which is untrue) and he revolutionized the place with vegan stuff and blah blah and how he loves indie music and blah good for him as an upstanding young person blah blah. you get the point.

Sean Chilson is a friend of mine and when i met him, i was a little skater kid and he could have been a dick to me for asking for a job the week it opened and also the first time i met him, but it didnt go down that way. now were homies and i gotta help a dude out because there's this online newspaper article saying he was a jerk and recess coffee shop is better without him. so thats like slander or liber or whatever, and please write a little something and send it to him via email

sean@chilsonart.com

about your positive experience in customer service or just being a rad dude. the business was not "running into the ground" or whatever.

this is important because these lies will make him look bad and might prevent him from getting a job.

and this may look fun in writing, but he came out in a cowboy outfit and continued to strip down into 4 different layers of different costumes and had a goofy fuckin haircut. it was just too much for me. just screamin, i want attention cause im weird.

but the drummer was cool

hey look

DSC_0060

I now notice that I think you have to click on the photo to see the whole image beacuse blogspot or whatever doesn't allow images larger than 500 pixels I think, so click the photo to bring you to where it's hosted on webshots.

Brandon can do everything, and can do it well.

Here we see our subject performing a backside nollie on a steep obstacle located at the Everson Museum on Art in Syracuse, New York.

DSC_0036 copy (1)

DSC_0036 copy (2)

I don't know which photo is better. Well, it's the same one, but just cropped differently. After shooting the photo and editing it at home, I'm now realizing, I should have shot full frame for the second photo. I mean, that should have been the full frame, rather than cropped because now I lost resolution.

And fisheye...

DSC_0054 copy

I don't know about my fisheye. There's always a lot of vignetting I have to crop out, there's a lot of chromatic aberration, and it's rarely, perfectly in focus. And then I still get fucking shadows from my lens. But either way, whatever. I shot that shit and it looked good at the time.

This has probably been the least vulgar and most coherent post I've ever written.

Peace Bitch.

Uhh last week in July i dont know when this shit was man

I been working a lot at a computer where i get there in the morning and sit at a computer until i go home and work on other things on the computer then i entertain myself at the computer.

fuck

its the best job i ever had, but i spend too much time at the computer

theres always soembody in the can at one of my jobs. and for some reason people i never talk to say whats up to me while im at the urinal mindin my own damn business. so its sort of strange when i looked somewhat suprised and let out a quiet grunt that sounds like ohhhiwass... then im like ....fuck..... i wear tight pants, dont wash my hair, have state issued pedophile glasses, read psychology during my lunch break and dont talk to begin with. im misunderstood. like bigfoot or some shit. last week i was too fucked off xanax i was like, "hey man... you know, i just gotta go home man." so i did.

eventually i went skateboarding and got these.

DSC_0005

DSC_0009
