Harlem...

This was the front facing part of our place in Harlem, New York.  It was a restored townhouse converted in to about five apartments all together. Whole extended families used to live in these massive townhouses and with the original interior in tact and locals of all ages chilling in the streets throughout the day and night it was easy to imagine the families that used to occupy this space some time ago.

Brooklyn - Manhattan

Skating across the Williamsburg Bridge was definitely one of my favourite things to do in New York City.  The sights and sounds were unbelievable.

Ville - Brooklyn to Manhattan

Labor NYC...

A fitting photo I thought to start posting up some flicks from NYC. This is James at his skateshop, Labor. They've only been open for a couple of months.  Having experienced some of the more anti-social stores in the city....ehhh...it was a relief to find a proper skateshop with a welcoming vibe and James who was just down to help anyone who walked through the door. He even let me keep my camera bag there so I could go skate LES without having to worry about losing my shit. A HUGE thanks to James and everyone at Labor.  I'll wear my Labor tee with pride, a real NYC skateshop.

Twice as nice...

Peace Out!

I'm heading to NYC for a month and it's stuff like the 12th July in Belfast that I will definitely not be missing, despite being such a great subject for photography.  Hopefully I will have a shit ton of photos of a more positive nature upon my return from New York.

Mile End...

This was one of my first proper skate missions to London, was stoked to finally skate the place and get some practice shooting film.  Jonny was loving the tailslide vibes...

Mini Brown - Hippy Jump

Belfast Night Mission...

Been slutting out to the video camera of late, but hitting the streets in the dead of night must be some of the best craic skateboarding has to offer. Click the pic below to check the dodgy filming and editing!

Hi-Speed Accuracy.

Jonny reps Boggin' Zine hard whilst tackling the skinniest of landing spaces and at high speed, Bonkers...

Dee Diamondz...

Derry destroyer Dee Diamnondz hit Belfast for the Dee Corr memorial jam a while back and spread his buttery goodness over the concrete terrain that lay before him!  Props to everyone that came out to skate and chill that day it meant a whole lot to everyone in attendance. RIP Dee Corr! x

Super Gnar

Valente is rad, just look at this shit! The skatepark is helping the next generation to really get to grips with skating so quickly, so good to see people skating so well after only a couple of years in the game.

Valente!

I did a series of portraits at the skatepark, my first roll came out shit but this one of Valente is hilarious, so here it is.

Phil Evans can skate?!

Phil is solid. After an artsy weekend at OFFSET he let us crash at his gaff and has this great spot right across the road! A hungover session led to such hammers as this bank to bank transfer and good craic was had by all. Nice one. (p.s. ollies are the best trick in the book, learn them...properly.)

Prop Hunters Exhibition...

Some snaps of my wall at Prop Hunters last night in Dublin.  HUGE shout out to Daire and Farmer for organising the event and to anyone and everyone else that made this such a fun night.  Special extended thanks to The Gill for putting us up with absolutely no notice, and Marina for helping me with the hanging and arrangement, you're absolute legends - PROPS!

Hang that shit...

...and hunt them props!

Prop Hunters...

This shit is going down tomorrow, props to the guys for throwing together a site and a zine too! Madness.  The exhibition takes place at U-Bar in Dublin on Thursday 29th. Click the pic for the website, Selecta!
