For those who haven’t had the opportunity to crowd around a light-table with The Skateboard Mag’s legendary skateboard photographer Grant Brittain as he goes through slides, this profile on Push.ca is about as close as you’ll ever get. It is part one of their Photographer Series and we can’t think of a better photographer to start with. Watch and learn.
Sometimes it doesn’t take much to get us to link up an edit. Take this Weekend Buzz for instance. The only reason we’re posting it up is because we still have a five-year-old, not even set up Toy Machine Johnny Layton in our storage room. This interweb thing is all about connections, isn’t it?
In an innovative twist, the latest surf video from Volcom strays far afield from the formulaic action sports film genre and into completely new, uncharted artistic waters. The “creative short film,” titled Obscurite, features a scared, frantic, confused yet well dressed blonde woman running from something that we never see. Directed and produced by artist Mike Aho the film includes absolutely no skateboarding, surfing, or snowboarding. How French.
[Editors’ Note: Sorry, apparently, this new “creative short” is not a surf video, and is, in fact, a fashion video which was not intended to feature any action sports at all. We apologize for this misunderstanding.]
