For skate photos i'm a fan of Matt Thomas. He skates the same park as me but i've never actually consciously met him.

Flickr.

(Got this: "THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND Sorry, dynamic pages in the [IMG] tags are not allowed" when i tried to put some images up off his flickr. Anyone know how to sort that out?)

Some of those shots look pretty dope. And that rail in those photos looks fucking immense to skate.

Perhaps one of the best photos ever taken at the station

yes.



hopefully gonna get a print of that.

if you click on the photo you want, then click 'view all sizes' (i think, or its something similar) and then choose the size you want and then try to copy the url.

Only my mac, I ctrl click, then click on 'open image in new tab'

Gotcha. Although quite a few photos don't have that option it would seem.

Martin Parr is pretty cool, I expected him to be more agro than he actually was, crewdson is too much of a prissy photographer for me, if you're gonna take a year to conceptualize something then spend a ridiculous amount of money putting it into action then it better be good. I like alec soth, and ori gersht personally and sugimoto is pretty awesome.

Figured this thread is worth a bump.

Larry Clark, although his pictures are too explicit to post here.

Stephen Shore, simply because i'd love to do something similar. Infact i probably will when i go to Aberdeen (On a slightly smaller scale )





Also, might be going to a Robin Rhode exhibition sometime soon.

smashly eff tee doubleyou?
