Skaters gonna skate

If you want to see what perseverance looks like, look at skaters. They’ll work on a trick dozens of times before they nail it. Impressive. I connected with skaters Jimmy and Adam in Waterloo Public Square when there were some hard shadows that looked interesting.

I like this image of Jimmy in particular because I imagined him continuing to float up into the sky. Landing the trick really wouldn’t matter because, unexpectedly, he could fly.

This is Waterloo.

I showed these to Brohemus and he called this one “X marks the spot”.  Orange wheels are Jimmy, white wheels are Adam.

I like the balance of the four elements, half reality and half shadow in this one.

Adam. Thanks guys for letting me run along side you shooting photos.  I only had the 24-70mm with me, so had to get in close to fill the frame and be able to shoot downward to get a clean background.  Happily, I avoided getting a board in the face.
