Desillusion Magazine is presenting a film by Guiherme Guimaraes titled The Self Portrait Project.
Fabiano Rodrigues was born in Santos, São Paulo, 1974. He approached photography through skateboarding, first appearing in photographs as a professional skateboarder, while performing maneuvers through out Brazil and Europe. The interest in composition, in motion capture and architecture, propelled him to photograph other skaters in the city, so as to be recognized both as a photographer and as a skater. In search of a language capable of accomplishing his expressive and performatic ambitions, Fabiano has been developing since 2010 his own research of self-portraits, all clicked through his skateboard performances. . . Shooting with a Hasselblad camera using a remote control, he records the apex of his own motion in a previously planned framework. These photographs are always one off prints, exploring the history and repertoire of skateboarding movements, particularly its relationship with the city, its architecture and urban furniture.
The rest is pretty self explanatory.

Nyjah Huston puts down a backside 270 kickflip lipslide during practice in South Africa at the Maloof’s remaining skateboarding contest sponsored by Kumba Iron Ore mining.
[Editors’ Note: element’s Rob Brink pointed out that this is not a BS lipslide. It’s just a BS 270 Flip Lipslide. The post has been corrected to reflect the proper nomenclature.]

SacTown rockers Deftones (hey, what up Abe?) rolled out the official video for their new song Romantic Dreams and they’re not even in the edit. But skateboarder Jason Park is, according to a story on Loudwire.
“When we started this record cycle, we decided that we didn’t want to make any videos whatsoever,” Chino Moreno said. “They’re not much fun to make and they usually turn out pretty corny. But this was an idea that we were interested in because we’re all very keen skateboarders and we like the idea of marrying one of our songs to someone as talented as Jason Park.”
Makes sense. Let the music do the talking, or skateboarding in this case.
