In contrast to previous posts, which perhaps two or three people reading this will know to exist, this one will be no more than a collection of images; and second-class images at that. No tongue-in-cheek sarcasm, no grammatical complexities, and few links to other distracting nonsense. These photos are left over from our cross-country trip, as was published in Skidmark Skate Mag in the <a href="http://skidmark-magazine.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/skidmark-4">current issue.</a> There are still a few left, so go get one if you wanna see the good stuff! Due to having 9 dudes squeezed into 2 cars; plus camping gear, fishing rods, skating gear, photo and video gear and other assorted hoopla, I decided to pack light right form the get-go and simplified my photo setup as much as I reasonably could. Simplicity is liberating, but damn, I would have loved to have a 4x5 handy. This trip was amazing. It was everything I could have asked for, and I know we'll all remember it for a lifetime. </div>

Despite having left ourselves (let no one fool you into thinking this is a one man operation) wide open for jokes on the matter, the Kiln trudges on through the proverbial mud. Mud, because it's been raining far too much in the bay area. Those of us who rely on dry, reasonably smooth and abundant concrete and asphalt for our recreational purposes have been forced to retreat to garages and mini ramps. But hey, we all need some bad with the good to make ourselves appreciate it more. You know the feeling of being conscious of feeling well after coming off of a bad cold? Yeah, it's the best, and the sunny, longer days to come will be just that.</div><br />
This past week saw the release of Ilja Maran's epic, "Ground Control". (For the grammar nerds, of whom there are likely none, note that the intended use of "epic" is as a noun, which is solidified by the following comma, but its unintentional use as an adjective is also allowable in this scenario if you so please)<br />

Also, sentence fragments and sly imperatives.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Travel. </div><div>Lets be honest. What would you rather do than to see the world? Whatever it is that you may enjoy in your day to day life, travel is an overarching theme that appeals to many. Sure, we all like to see new places and experience new things, but there is something more subtle inherent the act itself. Your mind starts to work differently. You not only explore uncharted to you areas of the world, but activate dormant neurons in your headspace as well. The mind starts to wander to areas previously left sans stimulation when you have only hundreds of miles of road to ponder. I highly recommend traveling alone, and with a goal in mind. </div><div><br />
</div><div>People. </div><div>People are good. I swear. Meeting new people not only grows your network of love; lets call it that, but also forces you to continuously check your own self against the convictions of others. The more people you meet, fully aware, the more you learn who you are by both your impulsive and calculated reactions. The most important thing to to constantly be aware. Of all things. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Skateboarding. </div><div>What's to say? If you skate, you know. The allegedly juvenile activity is firmly grounded in the previous two good things discussed here at the Kiln. It galvanizes people; lights a fire under the proverbial asses, to travel and explore cities in a way that, sadly, most of the others will never know. Skateboarding has a lot of money nowadays, which is great because it means that more travel is possible, and that people who enjoy the activity / art / sport can do it without the necessity for a "real job". Lets just all agree to remember why we started in the first place. </div><div><br />

Let's keep it short and go with mediocrity. As I was falling asleep last night, the phrase "terrified of mediocrity" crept into my thoughts. The statement presents itself not as a plea for recognition, but rather as a motivation to keep on keeping on; to keep pushing for the things you believe in, and the things you know you are capable of.<br />
<br />
Never Settle.<br />
<br />
Now for the skate photos.<br />

The past month has been full of adventure and change. I am back on the western coast of these here great United States. Instead of LA, home base is now the East Bay. Infinite thanks are due to Moses, Tony, and the rest of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cold+gravy&aq=f">Cold Gravy-ers</a> / ex-<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTOH9SB-3mQ">Caliskatz</a> crew for welcoming me into their crew. No thanks to that east coast jerk Jason Ross though. He's a jerk. No, I'm kidding... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6NWOkOfJp4">he rips</a>.<br />
<br />
The past two weeks spent in the east bay have been incredible. Between skating and shooting every day, meeting great new people, and a particular excursion 12 hours north which made for what were possibly the best two days of my life, Its been a damn good return to California.<br />
<br />
Now that I am a bit more settled in here, do expect some more writing on this blog in the near future, but for now, I'll dump some photos form the past 2 weeks.<br />

I undertook this activity, in a manic yet not panicked daze, during today's rainy weather. While it may seem like simply cleaning one's room, fret not, the implications are deep. Especially if you smoke weed. Which I don't... Usually. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyways... once you delve deep into the process of deciding which artifacts are worth holding on to, its actually quite a meaningful and enjoyable process. I found some crap that was just crap, and some crap that I had no idea I still had. At the end of the whole process, one thing became clear... most of the time, stuff is not worth hanging on to. It crowds functional space, gathers dust, and is a general nuisance. The less stuff you have around you, the freer your environment feels, and the more freely you can think. However, now that I have made myself out to be a emotionless prick, consider this... All the stuff that you hang on to for the sake of memories... it ruins the memories. Think about it... when you are attached to an object because it is linked to a memory of a particular moment in your life, you are holding on to that object to preserve the memory, for fear of letting it (the memory) go. Memories don't work that way though... I'm sure you've heard the expression that fondness grows with time... well, it is true. Our minds are generally wired in such a way that particularly beautiful and pleasurable moments in our lives are created as memories (which take up physical space, chemically) in the brain. Every time that particular memory is recalled as a happy thought, the brain makes adjustments in it's own wiring to even more strongly link the neurons that represent said specific memory to the ones that represent the abstract notion of happiness. Now, holding on to a particular object only complicates the process and makes more work for the brain which now has to effectively link that object's touch, smell, color, and mental position to the memory of what the object means to you, and then to the abstract notion of happiness (or whatever feeling you may wish to harbor). That sounds like a lot more work when the brain can do a fine job on its own. Let your stuff go... it's not that important... A little ironic coming from a photo blog, isn't it?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Something inside me is deeply content with each and every imperfection and I somehow believe that it was just meant to be that way. I am by no means a fatalist. If I were, it wouldn't make sense to care about much of anything. I would probably resort to full-blown nihilism and hate everyone. Clearly though, this is not the case. I love most all people and give a damn about all sorts of things. So, having thrown out fatalism, and by extent accepting free will, why am I not fucking pissed off that a series of frames later in this post were completely "ruined" in my rushed developing? Maybe you have an inkling.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With two carloads of skate rats, a proportionate amount of disregard for the rules of the road and knowledge of directions to a local spot that is reciprocal to said disregard *. We decided to turn down what we believed to be a small road to input an address into my gps which allegedly would then lead to the discovery of skateable locations. To my dismay, upon turning onto this road, we were greeted with about 5-6 police motorcycles heading towards us in formation. Having a natural tendency to avoid the law, we turned into a private driveway to let the piggies pass by. The carload of skate rats following us did the same. Befuddled by what we had just witnessed, we proceeded to input data into the GPS in a slight daze. Pulling out of the driveway a few minutes later, we found that we were all of a sudden in the middle of a small local marathon. After fruitless attempts of driving in unison with the runners, we decided that out only option was to wait the entire damn thing out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The gang, or at least part, shall embark for New York to meet up with the one and only Familgiani, Mister Figler himself, to skate the cities bricks, cellar doors, cobblestones, metal plating and assorted rubble while disregarding anything that shows signs of actually being a legitimate spot. What follow are 3 photos from a skate weekend in NYC last summer. Oh fond memories. </div><br />

I have been immersed in the culture of mammarial plasticity and a lack of respect for matrimonial sanctity. In simpler terms, I have been working on set at the Laconia Bike Week version of the <a href="http://www.fullthrottlesaloon.com/">Full Throttle Saloon</a> and have had little time for much of anything else. In this short span of free time before work today, I am posting a few photos that have been neglected either due to delays in processing, or digital overloads. But first, how about a little more Iowa?<br />

It's really pretty silly if you ask me. Russian, for instance, doesn't even employ the words "a" "an" or "the" whatsoever. They're pretty unnecessary if you think about it; even if you don't think about it. Anyways... / grammar tangent. The following photographs are from the first leg of the trip across the country; they lead right up into my first impressions of Iowa, where I had the distinct honor of staying with Kyle Bunker, skate photographer extraordinaire / farmer. Please do view these large by clicking on them. They look much nicer that way.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This railway runs through the farmland of Newton, Iowa. The town is famous for having had the Maytag factory which, when in business, had employed a majority of the town's population. It is now gone and the town reflects it. <a href="http://forums.skateperception.com/index.php?showtopic=182160&st=620">This aptly named thread</a> features photos shot by Kyle Bunker of the abandoned buildings of Newton. </div><br />

He would have had no way of knowing this, but the track comes from a compilation which was the first CD I ever purchased. I think that The Ramones are really more of a pop band than a punk band in the sense that they present essentially upbeat, heavily melodic and simple riffs. Sure, they were <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwehxN2ipCU">among the first</a> to pioneer the musical structure that would be adopted and further developed by bands through the coming decades, but The Ramones were never really that confrontational, and many of their songs are <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6Xae9jsqxU">complete nonsense</a>. I grew out of listening to these guys, or I thought I did anyways, several years ago; in favor of later heavier, faster, more emotional, and more directly political bands. Still, there is something incredible about the simplicity of statements such as "I wanna live" being the core of a song. How much simpler can you possibly get? These are guys who wanted nothing more out of life than to be left in peace to live their lives as they chose. Have you ever heard that the simplest solution is usually the correct one? I find that to be the case more and more every day, and The Ramones couldn't have been any simpler. <br />
<br />
Still with me? Skipped to this sentence already? Still skipping; looking for skate photos?<br />
<br />
In the spirit of simplicity, lets remember why we all started skating in the first place. We liked the adventure of finding new parts of the city, the continuous personal challenge to progress, and the camaraderie of people who, like ourselves, just never really seemed to fit in with the rest of them. All of these things can be summed up very simply as having fun. Today, as we go out on missions to get footage and continually punish our bodies in the effort of putting together a video part or getting photos, lets remember: if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong. <br />

Mike Tenney destroyed his board by means of smashing and crashing it against the rocks of the SBLI gap after failing to land a trick. Nobody likes falling over and over and over and failing to get a clip, but next time, maybe instead of smashing your board, calmly walk away form the spot, dismantle it at the shop, and leave it in said shop with a "Free" sign for some kid who comes in with only 27 dollars and can't afford the fanciest new decks. That kid would go on to have a lot of fun. </div><br />

Still, there is something that drives us to do it over and over and over again.

I'm not a writer, nor do I claim to be. However, I do enjoy doing these little write-ups to accompany my dumping of photographs into the rivers of the internet, much akin to the dumping of photographic chemicals into the river of my toilet. Don't worry... a little developer in the water ain't neva hurt nobody. That said, I have a feeling that in the coming months I will be shooting skateboarding more and more digitally as my volume of work has been increasing at a suspiciously proportional rate to the decrease of funds dedicated to film and developing. I will continue to shoot personal work exclusively on film though. After all, I do intend to one day be an old man who gives slideshows that nobody cares about. Longingly though I look into the future for that moment to come, for now I shall settle for another Chemical Kiln post in an effort to bring the blog back from the brink of becoming a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/">digital wasteland</a>.<br />
<br />
Almost a month ago now, I set out on a trip across the country from Los Angeles to Boston. So, where did I go first? An hour in the complete opposite direction of course. I drove to Oxnard, CA to stay, shoot and skate with <a href="http://dailygrind.kr/files/attach/images/955/655/005/moose.jpg">Moose</a> and <a href="http://theskateboardmag.com/watch/auby-taylor/">Auby Taylor</a> for a couple days. Both have uncanny abilities on a skateboard, and unlike certain other skaters, aren't <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfjq7WGE7Yk">complete plunks off them</a>. A big thank you goes out to Moose for letting Auby and myself both stay at his house.<br />
<br />
I shot 5 rolls of 35mm slides on the trip across country, and will be posting a few photos from each leg of the trip in the next several posts, and this edition kicks off with a session from a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpUhV7hYJHE">Bones</a> weekend filming trip around LA.

Since I have been back east, Matt Lane, Kevin Leslie, and Jason Ross have all been in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3bMVNvoL7c">beastmode</a> as far as getting clips. It is hard to beat the west coast as far as skateboarding goes, but Boston will always be my favorite at heart. This realization hit hard on a recent skate around the city with Jason and the SBS guys. The combination of no cameras, no cars, and no worries made for an amazing skate session in the city. We all know that this combination is a rarity these days. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We conversed for a few minutes after which he decided that we were actually a group of fine young lads and that despite the fact that a (misspelled, yes) sign stated that there would be "No Skatboarding" on the premises, he would turn a blind eye to our trickery and mischief. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have never given it much thought before, but skateboarders tend to have very erratic musical preferences. To whom else would it make perfect sense to list <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e80se6f0Xjo">Andre Nickatina</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGKSmKog-pA">GG Allin</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-o8VSCOytg&feature=related">The Smiths</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO7VP34n2Ps">Electric Wizard</a> in the same sentence? I think this this diversity is part of the reason we all tend to get along so well. There is something inherent to skateboarding that lets two people who have never met before get along incredibly effortlessly, and in a way that would not be quite so certain for many others. There are exceptions of course, but this does tend to be the case. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It was a proper night of street skating highlighted by riding in front of traffic, pizza, talking to friendly bums, and the backbreaking toil of skating with a backpack full of gear and joints left frail by years of constant abuse. I've got a bone to pick to the pace of human evolution and why we don't yet have ankles of steel.

It has been one of the busiest, gnarliest, longest weeks on record thus far. College classes are over with forever, and the solo adventure across America will commence shortly. I'll be documenting it mostly with 35mm slides on the Nikon F that Ilja Maran, proprietor of the venerable <a href="http://dead-pixel-productions.blogspot.com/">Dead Pixel Productions</a> recently gave me. I'm looking forward to putting it to good use. Over the past week, Auby Taylor has gotten 2 NBDs in LA, which, as you know, is teeming with <a href="http://alreadybeendone.com/content/">ABD</a>s. Be on the lookout for that guy... He's got a part dropping with <a href="http://www.indexskateboarding.com/">Index</a> skateshop in the coming month or two, and let me tell you, its a doozy (doozie?). Admittedly, the photos in this update are nothing too exciting, but there are plenty of goodies under wraps which will be released in due time. For now, To whomever figures out the double meaning of this post's subtitle, a Simpler Times Sixer goes!<br />
<br />
Auby got a 4 page spread in this month's issue of Trasher, not to be confused with the skate mag of a similar name<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've realized that my attempt at double meaning in the title is stupid. It was supposed to be that there is vegetation in all the photos, which is a rarity in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDMxLbMcjxY&feature=related">concrete jungle</a> that is LA, and that I have been in a vegetative state in terms of updating this here internet space which is being squandered on the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0WMd0Y6hIw&feature=related">jockish timewaster</a> that is skateboarding. Therefore, if you have red thus far, I am voiding the previous offer of Simpler Times, and will instead give it away to the first person who can tell me who skated to the following brilliant bit of elite musicianship, and also tell me where the devil went. If you get it, you get it. If you don't, you don't. But, if you get it, you also get drunk, so I think that getting it is slightly preferable to not getting it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Remember, as Hurling mentioned, that he exists in real life. He is not merely a graphical representation of somebody's idea of the ideal street lines. OG rippers JT Aultz, Peter Ramondetta and Justing Brock, amongst others, all have killer parts, as do relative newcomers Davis Torgerson and Ishod Wair. Go buy the video at your local shop before they run out.<br />
<br />
Now, I do apologize for the lack of material over the past week, but after Boston south shore shredder, and loyal <a href="http://orchardshop.com/">Orchard Skateshop</a> employee Andrew Haskell won the first Chemical Kiln Simpler Times giveaway by correctly explaining the differences among bonelesses / boneless ones, fastplants, and beanplants, my financial advisory board suggested that should I continue to post with the same frequency, the <a href="http://www.skateboard.pl/wp-content/foto3.jpg">venture</a> may soon run out of capital, and be forced to shut down. For this reason, I have suspended activity during the past week, and now that the budget here at the Chemical Kiln is finally under control, we resume. If anybody is wondering how this clearly and undeniable for-profit foray is doing, here are the preliminary ratings as of last night.<br />

It fucking blows. For medium format, it is a brilliant little machine, but it can't hold 35mm flat for shit, and it simply can't draw all the detail out of the film. Just some quick gear advice. <div><br />
</div><div>Last week, Ilja insisted that I take his Nikon F off his hands for a while, and so I shot a quick test roll while out for a day. I haven't shot a roll of 35 so fast (about an hour) in, well, maybe ever. It's a pretty liberating experience. Also, since the F doesn't have a built-in light meter, I just threw out some educated guesses for most of the exposures. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunny_16_rule">sunny 16 rule</a>, with a little personal tweakage really does work pretty well, and open shade on a sunny day is 3 stops dimmer than direct sunlight, so everything else falls in between as long as you're shooting during the day.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Between using a camera that was first manufactured in 1959, using cheap <a href="http://freestylephoto.biz/192364-Arista-Premium-BandW-400-ISO-35mm-x-36-exp.?cat_id=402">$2.19 / roll</a> film, guessing at exposures, and using a really depleted developer and fixer on top of that, I'd say this stuff came out decently for what was really just a test for light leaks and shutter / aperture problems. </div><div><br />

As Brendan Herling so eloquently put it earlier today though, it's not all about dropping skate hammers. One has to also drop life hammers. These could simply be the insane ramblings of a man who has failed to drop skate hammers in the past days (more on that in a few), but nonetheless, I fully endorse these words of wisdom. <div><br />
<div>I wanted to post a few random shots from the past days before they get lost in the mix that is my incredibly unorganized hard drive. </div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This spot was in a relatively poor area, and these kids were hanging out on the perimeter. Now, I'm not making any assumptions about them, but the following statements are a result of thoughts triggered merely by the image itself, and not the reality of the situation, since, well, I simply took a photo. It is important to make a distinction between stereotyping, which is the assumption of knowledge about a particular individual, and concern for societal issues which impact a particular group. We take a lot for granted every time we go to skate considering the fact that so many people in the world are preoccupied with much simpler activities, such as making sure they have something to eat on that particular day. Just in the US, the richest country in the world, roughly 14 million people are hungry. Keep yourself in check, and try not to take anything for granted. That goes not only for what you were born into, but (perhaps more importantly) the people in your life.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, you may be saying to yourself, hey Dan, you shithead, you're getting lazy. All these shots are digi... shoot more film. More likely though, you DGAF. Despite this blog's name, these will by no means be strictly film shots. I shoot about 75% of my "serious" stuff of film because my digital sequence camera has less megapixels than a goddamn <s>iphone</s>, and that is bad for anything that may at some point be printed in a mag. Digital is just a tool though, and a very convenient one when it some to homie shots, and other solid, but non-hammer tricks. If i shot everything on film, I would be playing with chemicals in the bathroom more often than being out in the streets shooting. That said, you can expect a film post sometime later this week. Ilja Maran lent me his <a href="http://imaging.nikon.com/history/chronicle/history-f/index.htm">Nikon F</a>, the original Nikon pro-level slr, and I rattled off a roll today. The camera is build like a freakin tank. For anybody looking to get a great film slr, I highly recommend it, or the <a href="http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonfmseries/fm2/index.htm">Fm2n</a> (if you so desperately need a light meter built in). Ilja, filmer/skater extraordinaire, and proprietor of <a href="http://dead-pixel-productions.blogspot.com/">Dead Pixel Productions</a> drove us around all these spots, unaffected by the outrageous $4.00+ LA gas prices, so yes, a collective thank you is in order. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A few folks have been spreading the word about this blog, so I'd like to send a shout out to Ian Coughlan who runs <a href="http://iancoughlan.wordpress.com/">So Trill</a>, your one-stop shop for all things current and/or east coasty in skateboarding. Ian is a a great friend I met at Emerson College. He has recently got a little bit of coverage for this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuhKt8NhQJE">throwaway part</a> that I an will convince you isn't any good if you ever talk to him. Ian also had a <a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5125/5200223555_a67bd01905_b.jpg">Fresh find</a> page in a recent Focus that, incidentally, was also my first published photo.<br />
Also, a shout out to Will Burstein for his post in the blog section of <a href="http://www.rawnewengland.com/">RAW New England</a>. Raw is, well, about a raw as it gets. They are a truly skater run enterprise from the east coast, and I have always respected them, primarily for their complete and utter lack of advertising, and of course, dedication to skateboarding. Will also runs a blog at <a href="http://wheelsofthefuture.blogspot.com/">Wheels of the Future</a>. Be sure to check it for detailed essays on wide-ranging subjects relating to mathematics, science, politics, and all tying back to skateboarding. Will is nothing short of a genius. Finally, one last thank you goes to Buddy Bleckley, a fellow east coast photog who is currently interning at Focus skate mag, and recently started the <a href="http://focusskatemag.com/2011/04/sequence-saturday-2/">Sequence Saturdays</a> feature for the website, which many of the following sequences are featured in. Buddy is a rad, unassuming, and genuinely nice dude which is becoming quite a rarity these days<br />

Let me tell you, it is one of the most rancid smells I have ever smelled or expect to smell in the future. Keep in mind next time you're having that burger, driving your car or updating a blog from a <s>macbook</s> that all these things we like to use come from somewhere and that there is a massive industry behind every convenient aspect of modern life. Don't take anything for granted, and try to think about the effect, however small, your purchases have in perpetuating modern industries. Every time you pay for something, you are effectively voting to see more of that in the world since profit is the only thing that corporations, and most larger businesses in general, understand. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I, I, I. Me, Me, Me. Blogging. The aristocrats.Over the past year, the thought of starting a blog has crossed my mind a single digit number of times that you can speculate on to your heart's desire. I have until now passed on the notion because of my general distaste for the inherent concept of self-promotion, but I have finally caved, as you my have guess by this page's very existence. This past weekend has been a whirlwind skate adventure with some excellent dudes, and I need a place to showcase the documentation that is not flickr or <a href="http://www.skateperception.com/">www.skateperception.com</a>. A couple of the dudes in the photos have parts in a recent Chicago (from here on out referred to exclusively as Chi because the mere thought of typing out those extra four letters brings pains to my already arthritic fingers) video. Said video is entitled "Ideal Humans", and it is shot by Blake Matthews.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mike Piwowar and Nick Matthews (Blake's younger brother; ripper extraordinaire) amongst others have parts, and I highly recommend picking up this finely crafted video. You can do so <a href="http://idealhumans.bigcartel.com/category/dvds">here</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And... drumroll, please. The reason you have come here, consciously or subconsciously: the selected moments of random, but mostly not so random, acts of skateboarding. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before we begin though... shout outs to Mike Piwowar and Ilja Maran who basically made this weekend happen on my end of things. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ahh the anticipation builds</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Phil fucking murdered this spot. This is the least of his exploits. The rest shall remain secret in the interest of preserving the sanctity of video footage. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5026/5573123831_c4335ede91_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5026/5573123831_c4335ede91_z.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Phil Cera Smith Grind. Phil was trying a trick with a flip and a couple rotations as well out of this back truck / dangling front grind but we will keep the specifics a secret. You know, sanctity. Potential in this particular case. Sentence fragments. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This particular shot isn't a land, but it looks like one, eh? Nick Landed this very quickly, and then again for a second angle. Definitely check out the Ideal Humans video for solid footage form this kid, but in the meantime, here is some throwaway from Nick. <object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://3.gvt0.com/vi/V9r_TqACh4s/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/V9r_TqACh4s&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/V9r_TqACh4s&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Mike asked for his board to be broken should he fail to commit to this noseslide. He weaseled his way out of a $50+ deficit via a roughly 75% committal before taking it home on the next try. He then proceeded to add an exit board rotation which shall be showcase in the upcoming sequences post (Get hyped motherfuckers, ya'll damn right I'm gonna be posting regularly)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5021/5573134725_8d758eb1c5_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5021/5573134725_8d758eb1c5_z.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mike Piwowar Swollie. By now, you may be wondering, "Chemical Kiln? The fudge is that? Is that some sort of hipsteresque juxtaposition of mildly fancy words?" (yes, I used juxtaposition, the epitome of art school kid words. fucking deal with it) Well, it's really just the first thing that popped into my head (after some consideration, yes) when I thought about what I do and like would like to promote (from a purely non-political standpoint). Film. Shooting film, developing film by yourself. This is what the title refers to, and in the next photo, you will see why I am so partial. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Mike spent a good sixty minutes getting this trick. We all love you, Mike, but at a certain point, I just have to stop shooting film frames. This (granted, unlit) digi frame showcases the basic reasons why people like film. The white balance was set at 5600k, as is the rating of the film that was used for the rest of the shots in this post, yet, look at the colors. Really, digi? You look like crayons. Not in the good way. Purple mountain majesty? Terra cotta? Veridian? No. Just green. Red. Blue. Boring. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In an immature act of rebellion against sequences, I shot Ryan's trick as a still, leaving the viewer confused, save the prior description of the skateboard maneuver performed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Brendan is a blast to go skate with and keeps it hesh as fuck. (Last digi shot for the post, I promise)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5175/5573145311_7e85f4b651_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5175/5573145311_7e85f4b651_z.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Blake and Brendan contemplating the moral, financial, and environmental ramifications of our modern industrial society. Maybe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before we wrap up the photo section, here are two shots of mine that were recently Published in <a href="http://focusskatemag.com/">Focus</a> which is a proudly east coast skate mag. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5016/5547669552_1aee2f328f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5016/5547669552_1aee2f328f.jpg" width="318" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Matt Lane 5050 Stoneham, MA</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Nick is an east coast transplant to the west coast. He keeps himself perpetually injured so that he doesn't ever have to actually ride a skateboard. All my photographs of him as actually rare glitches of photoshop work on my part. Entirely CGI. Just like Avatar. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I realize that most of these shots are tiny on the post. I will figure this out in due time, but for now, just check out my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/danmuchnik/">Flickr</a> for higher res images. Be warned... over 50% of the space on there is designated as digital wasteland for the purposed of showing somebody somewhere a shot from the day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, that's that and this is this. And these are these, and those are those. While I'm on the subject, I fully endorse Trader Joe's brand "Simpler Times" brews for your intoxicated evenings. Deliciously hoppy flavor and 6.2% alcohol content at $3 / 6 pack cant be beat. If you think you have found a better taste + inebriation capability to money ratio out there in the big wide world, email me, and I will send you a Money order for $3 US funds so that you may buy yourself a sixer of Silmpler Times and change your mind. Void where prohibited yadayada. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm currently fiver silmplers in and loving it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally, I'm going to end this post, as I will future ones with a musical suggestion and a piece of news from our big wide world. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3641202/Heatmiser_[Elliott_Smith]_-_Cop_and_Speeder_[1994]">Heatmiser: Cop and Speeder</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the second album from Heatmiser, which is Elliot Smith's band before he went solo. It is a little more accessible that their first release, Dead Air, but despite the fact that I am generally opposed to accessibility, it is a relative term, and ... well shit, just check it out if you feel like it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">No particular new story on this inaugural post, but a link of utmost importance. <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/">Democracy Now</a> is almost exclusively the only news source worth listening to nowadays. You can get all their coverage online, but primarily, they are a radio news hour that air at 6AM and 10AM weekdays in LA on 90.7FM and at 12 Noon on 90.3 in Boston. (most major cities also have it... just do some research). I don't mean to be pushy, but honestly, this is some of the most informative, relevant and honest reporting on our world today and well worth listening to on a regular basis. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
