...a new photo zine from the director of photography for Girl Skateboard, and long-time former Senior Staff Photographer for Skateboarder Magazine...:clap:clap

This is not to be missed - and is only $5 so how can you pass it up?

    A little background on the site please......

    Is that a photo site or a repository for old images or both? I had a hard time following through it. I did however see what I believe to be your -zine.

    Not really sure. All I know is that the 30 page 'zine' of skateboard photos by my son, Ben Colen, is available for the enormous sum of $5. Ben has been shooting skateboarding since high school, and has worked as a full-time, professional skateboard photographer since graduating from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts here about 14-15 years ago. He has been the Sr. Staff Photographer for Skateboarder Magazine, and now is the director of photography for Girl Skateboard, a company that makes skateboards, skate clothing, and sponsors a team. He travels the world shooting street skating, and just returned from two-plus weeks in China, his second photo trip there. Who knew one could be such a thing, and make a living - with benefits - doing it.

    Not a photo of a photo on plywood - that's just how they display the 'zines.'
