Crab Face Killah

Just finished shooting a roll of film with my nearly fourty years old Canon AE1. Unfortunately the shutter curtain needs some adjusting and only a few out of the thirty six exposures came out. This is -all in all- a bit shit. However, i was quite happy with a couple of shots of Tunbridge Well's own "Crab Face Killah" busting out his front board 360 shuv on the block at the garden. As soon as my camera is fixed there will be more photography. Some skate related, some just plain photos of grass, or maybe even a few apples in there... only time will tell.

Recently I've been having some great ideas for a future film project in the Himalayas. Time lapses, amazing sunsets, crispy mornings and stunning landscapes will be the main protagonists. On the way to that all powerful 1080p HD beast, and then these type of projects will start flowing to produce the foundations of a pretty good portfolio.

From Memory

I remember when we were children

we used to speak so clean and clear.

Let's got back to ten years old, when your life was not for sale.

Let's get out of this wasted decade cause my skin is going pale.

I remember when we were children

we used to speak so clear and clean.

Now those words are all unspoken,

we are scared of what we mean.

Let's got back to ten years old, when your life was not for sale.

Let's get out of this wasted decade cause my skin is going pale.

Summer Solstice once again

Just about to go for a skate, but not before watching this amazing section from Lakai's Fully Flared. Guy Mariano's come back with this part is such an inspiration and still holds to a top class level even after four years have passed since the release of the video. This is my third summer Solstice in one year, let's just hope my board doesn't snap - it's got a massive crack but i'm gonna try stay positive!

Would love to be chillin' here for a while, simply beautiful view Ama Dablam.

When you don't know that you just don't know

There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It’s still a little hard to say what's going on

There’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
There’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can´t say what´s going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

There’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
There’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can´t see what´s going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So its not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon.

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause its not hard to fall,
And I don't want to scare her
Its not hard to fall
And i don't want to lose
Its not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

Cannonball / Damien Rice

Dreaming my life away

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Watching the Wheels / John Lennon

Chapter two

So i have been back in England for just over a week now. How does that feel? Well it is nice to be back home, a place where the friends i have are constant and never changing, not much anyway, compared to when one is traveling.

I have managed to rescue a few hours of work from some people i knew at the greengrocer's and butcher's shop so i am now rescuing the bank account, hour by hour, penny by penny. I won't be doing much for the next few weeks, travelwise, and there wont be a lot of stuff to post on here so i'm going to temporarily change the format of this blog a little, i will post lyrics, thoughts, articles i have been reading, photos that have made an impact, videos and a lot of other things, it will keep the blog alive and give me somewhere to express certain things.
