Outtakes from a Day Trip to Philadelphia

Nick Tyrrell - Fronside Tailslide to Nowhere - Philadelphia, 2013

This is one of my favorite spots ever.

Dan Hetrich - Mid frontside flip attempt.

Nick Tyrrell - Frontside Rock - Greys Ferry Crescent Skatepark in Philadelphia

A few weeks ago I was in Philly for an afternoon before flying to Arizona for work and I shot these photos. You haven't seen them because I also shot some other gnarlier photos of Dan and Nick at the Grey's Ferry park, which I've already posted here or elsewhere.

These photos, however, are the ones that almost fell through the cracks. It's bound to happen. I put aside the raddest (skate-wise) ones for zines or art shows and the rest tend to stay in the RAW file in my archives. I only pulled these up from beyond the grave because I was sitting here listening to an episode of Neil Degrasse Tyson's Star Talk podcast with Joe Rogan and I needed something to work on while it played.

There's 4 minutes left. Maybe I'll dig around the archives some more.


Day job becomes photo job... at least for a week





For those of you who don't know, for almost a year now I've worked somewhere between part and full time as an internal salesman for an IT company, One 2 One Computer Services, in Lancaster, PA. What that means is that for 30 or so hours a week I work with our existing clients, everyone from dentist offices to local government entities to nonprofit organizations, to try and make the employees at these places a little less frustrated with their jobs... at least as far as their computers go.

This past week, however, I was lucky enough to be drafted by our marketing department to shoot some photos for a website redesign they have in the works. What you see above is a sneak peak from the past week.

I'll update when their new site is live. Should be soon. Better be! I had to knock these out in between quoting anti-malware renewals.
