Skate Photo Feature: Gabe Dussurre
Somehow, in all my years in and around the Utah skate scene, I had never met or even heard of Gabe Dussurre until a few months ago. Apparently, not only has he been around a long time, but he’s also been really good at skating for a long time. I had no idea. … read more
Skate Photo Feature: Danny Souk
It had been five years since I shot a photo with Danny Souk. Thanks to the miracle of Instagram, I was able to see that he was skating Downtown by himself at the same time I was.

SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Caleb Schrank
Let this be a lesson: Get to the spot before the skater. When a skater is ready to go for something, they aren’t going to wait around for a photographer to get there, especially when they have a video camera already on hand.
SLUG Skate Photo Feature: Matt Bergmann
Matt Bergmann had some unfinished business from his story a few months back. In mid-December, Bergmann called me up to shoot “this really long down rail.”
