New York: Union Square
Inspiration: I used to skateboard when I was a kid. My knees and elbows still bear scars from umpteen crashes (yeah . . . I wasn't very good). Now, I just watch. And take photographs.

skaters are very inspiring, they have something really special in the way they dress, the way they look.
he second one in the pic has a really powerful look....

Maison Chaplin: I've been reading Vogue for ages as well! My Mom told me that when I was a baby, I was mesmerized by the mag. Still am. Have you seen September Issue, by any chance?
Sofiasophie: I agree with you about skateboarders. They are uber cool. The second guy has such a tough-guy look about him.
Thanks Daisy!! And Spardha!! And Julie.

I remember going downhill once very fast, and then hitting a strip of tar--I went head over feet. That ended my very short skateboarding infatuation--great shots.

How I wish we've got paved street during my younger days. I really wan to learn how to flip that board.
I like how the light falls on the 1st skater, contrast of the sweater and the trash bin really compliments each other. nice shot as always.
