Action sport site fuel.tv has published an interview I did with Andrew Brady accompanied by a gallery of my BMX work. Much thanks to Andrew for the feature! Check it out here.

Some photos from the D700 in New York. I uploaded a tonne more photos from this trip onto facebook, including my journal photos from the point and shoot.

So slammed with work but I took a break today and played around in photoshop. One thing led to another and I’m delaying putting my clothes in the dryer to make GIFs out of pics from New York.

Before the Red Bull BC One contest took place, Red Bull got us to bring bboys into the New York subway system to take photos. It was a cool experience to shoot like this and I’m pretty amazed we didn’t get kicked out of any of the stations. Here are some shots of Lil Ceng from Germany, Flying Buddah from Russia, and Neguin from Brazil. Expect more photos from the trip soon!

What up! Long time no post sorry. I’ve been stressballs it’s been f’in busy. So I just finished shooting the Red Bull Street Style contest in Toronto and right now I’m in New York City for the first time ever *excite*. Am here to shoot a break dancing competition called Red Bull BC One. Haven’t had the chance to explore the city yet (am already quite in love tho), but I did shoot photos of some breakdancers doing crazy shit in a subway station. One of them flipped so high he almost took out a light. I’m not allowed to post any of those photos as of yet but when I can they will definitely be on this blog! Instead for now, here’s a self-portrait GIF I made in Toronto.

Deadmau5’s rise to fame has been rapid and intense all over the world, and it is no exception here in Vancouver. Earlier this year he sold out a show at the Commodore, and soon after Blueprint brought him back to the city and he swept a sold-out crowd of 2800 into the UBC Thunderbird Arena and off their feet. I don’t usually get to shoot shows this large, but I always find them pretty fascinating. The immense scale of the spectacle and the collective atmosphere developed by a few thousand people gets me psyched.

This photo essay in particular made me consider the different ways of representing large crowds. I tried to take some ideas from the fantastic Andreas Gursky show at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The representation of gathering, worship, and scale is something I want to keep working on and develop new approaches to. Also, hopefully these photos give a sense of the dichotomy at a show this large. The fan world, the Deadmau5 icon world, and the morphing, lively relationship between the two. I’m always interested in hearing critical feedback, so if you have a response please email me or sound off in the comments. enjoi!

Was recently interviewed by Kurt Hohberger for bmx website DigBMX.com, its available for viewerage here.

Many thanks for the response on the 3Style series! Madly appreciated. =]

After a short rest and many 14-hour photoshop sessions later, I met the gang at the Vancouver airport and we made our way to Toronto. The ten finalists from each heat were flown in to Canada’s biggest city to battle for top spot at the Red Bull 3Style 2009 finals.

After 10 stops in 28 days, over 7,500 people had danced and listened to over 80 DJs do their thing in the hopes of becoming the most versatile DJ in Canada. Months of sweat, blood, and air-miles accumulated to this one night. Here’s the journal of what went down…
