So it’s been a while since I put a couple pics up from Brian Walnum, but I have a few lingering that I’ll put up below. I haven’t been updating as much and have been really busy working at Vans and working on getting educated on websites. I started just over 2 years ago learning html and css through a friend(Spooner) that built the Adio footwear website and has been a lead flash developer at numerous companies. He showed me a proper direction to learn without ever giving me any answers; just giving me a link to an article that talks about the same issue I was facing at the time. I had to read and understand the code at hand before I properly could move forward. So, I went a little further than learning flash, but I put myself into the actual language that drives flash called ActionScript. Walnum’s whole site is built in ActionScript 3.0 in an external .as file if you know what I mean. Kind of weird shit, but gets more interesting as you learn to make things work on a screen by typing a set code to make actions react. I swear it is all what you want to dive into, because with his great direction and my dedication, my first site is in one of it’s own that the owner of the site envisioned and I just tried to make a reality for him.. I still have plenty to learn and am always learning day by day about web, and it grows faster and smarter than I’m learning it, but I definitely have some pride in this site as being unique in its own along site of the photographers eye and style. So I’ll stop rambling so you can check it out at Brian Walnum.com. Not to mention, we just got his blog up so he could post all of his fotos that no one sees that need to be seen..Check that out at..WalnutShotBlogSpot

So with my self jargen out of the way, let’s move onto my roommate that owns the site. He has come from not much and has worked with the tools at hand in life and learned to see things in a crazy way. Through his lens, with object orientation, lighting and knowledge of the essentials in photography his fotos have gone from high school class to professionalism at his least. Catching a skate photo at the right time is not easy and many get criticized for their inexperience with that same object orientation. One day I’ll write a detailed post on how he learned it so well, but for not check out a few he did for me..

and the last, my favorite of the few lately..

So I’ve been skating with Chris and Pierce Brunner for a little more than a year now and have watched them progress like little men. Check them out anytime for yourself. They always skate hard and always get some crazzzzy man tricks on anything thrown their way. twinsk8ters
Check this spot they searched for with their Mom, who drives them from spot to spot from San Diego to the mean streets of LA. Gotta love the support from the parents for something you love doing..
