These rare AP editions are available for $250 per print, only at Equal Dist.

Over at the SbA site we have just commissioned James James to cut this ripping Recon piece on the West Hobart Bowl which is the 2^nd oldest park in Australia. Here is a little sample of the visuals. The video is over here.

If geologists rated skateparks the West Hobart Bowl would be classified as Jurassic. It is a crusty, meandrous beast that will happily spit you (and your flesh) into the stratosphere if you hesitate or make an error in judgment. It is a lumpy 100m roller coaster ride that takes you from a shallow dish, through the belly of a snake, past the demonic ‘Thrasher’ corner into the actual bowl. The West Hobart Bowl, (which is actually more of a snake run) has been sessioned for thirty three years now…. (continued here)

HIGHLAND PARK, LOS ANGELES: There’s a huge upcoming group show THESE FRIENDS 3 coming Friday, February 24th at THISLOSANGELES gallery in Highland Park.  Too many talented artists to name, so make sure to take a peek and drop by.  They’ll also be giving away some tote bags that I designed to the first 100 folks who arrive.

Sneak peek of the weird hairy hunter guy I did for the tote.

Photo shirts come and go and while some capture the specific feeling of a specific moment few capture the feeling of a scene. Dan Boulton‘s series on London’s South Bank captured that feeling and this shirt highlights one of those moments that can only be experienced at South Bank. Produced by Dozen Co. out of England.

The Quiet Life’s Facebook photo contest is down to the final six. Go to their Facebook page and vote for your favorite!

Dreamland, an Exhibition of Artworks by Claudio Kirac.

‘Dreamland’ revolves around two key themes; the thrill of travel and the longing for home. While ‘on the road’ for periods at a time, and mostly without the leisure one would assume with travel or ‘holidays’, Claudio grasps the moments around him; wholly embracing local cultures and traditions, venturing ‘off the beaten path’ and stepping outside the comforts of everyday life. While befriending strangers and capturing those special moments one only encounters on ‘the journey’, work and play blur into one. Soon comes the challenge of missing the familiarity of home, the everyday norm, the common voices of close friends and the touch of a loved one. But it is this that makes us appreciate the everyday and helps restore our balance and soon we are home again where we can reflect on the journey and the places that became home for those moments in time. The works of ‘Dreamland’ express and investigate many of these notions.

Please check out my good friend Justin Visnesky’s wonderful print for sale on the Collect.give site. Collect.give is a place to collect contemporary photography and donate to worthy causes at the same time. 100% of the proceeds from Justin’s print will go to The Sprout Fund, a nonprofit organization supporting innovative ideas and grassroots community projects that are catalyzing change in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Sounds good to me!

Kirk and I spent our holidays road tripping down Highway – 1 through Big Sur. It was our third time and I am even more in love with that place after this trip. We saw Otters, Sea lions, Elephant Seals, Harbor Seals, California Condors and the Grey Whales migrating down to Mexico… It really is the Wild West.
