The disucssion that ensured after the man in the taxi opened his door into the bike lane, hitting the man in the blue jacket off of his bike onto the side walk. The hands speak for them selves

Fun Foto Friends

2011-04-08T00:38:00.003-04:00

With three frames left in the Yashica Mat until I possibly release it to Matt, we decided to kill those pictures with some interesting photos documenting the life of these three fine young fellows (and myself for one, for some reason).

Norm would be proud.

The socks were the only thing left.

Psychedelic crazt funky style.

There will be more, and there will be more too

Ears down everybody, you've done something wrong.

Rx, PO

2011-03-23T02:22:00.003-04:00

Waiting in the doctors office. What a group. When we get old, will we wear the same style of clothes today's old people wear? I feel like that may never evolve.

Bloomfield Post Office. The people who own these P.O. boxes are probably just as old as the people in the doctors office. I believe everyone gets issued a P.O box at age 65.

D.Collage

2011-03-22T05:46:00.000-04:00

Money Cruz, with a sweet tailslide on a ledge we made skateable by ripping a piece of perfect angle iron out of the ground and placing it on top. Props to my dads Jeep in the back, and the now abandon dealership where he bought it.

Tone Zone with a hippie hop over the rail. Havent taken a vertical skate photo in a long time. Tony called me with the plan in the morning, we gathered a small morning crew, and followed through with our plans

Recent Rolls: No Cohesion

Snow is such garbage.

Statue at the Beacon.

This happens.

Children of the Corn still exist.

John Ruggeri, giving the warm up drawing. I'm very happy I took this photo, later on down the road I'll be even more psyched.

Printed on Page 177

2011-02-24T23:04:00.006-05:00

So, some time after me and Matt took this photo he sent it into Thrasher, they've decided we are worthy. What they did not decide was worthy, was our names. Matt Chelsea=Matt Eaton

Blank Space=Ph: Scordo

So go out there, get the magazine, I'm sure theres some space on your wall for me and Mr Chelsea

The People Jumble

2011-02-01T02:01:00.002-05:00

I've fallen back in love with medium format. And umbrellas.

Majestic Beast

2011-01-20T01:59:00.002-05:00

(click to play^)

Haven't posted some mixtapes in a while. I found this one to be a good variety. Funk, Soul, Oldies, Real Hip Hop, Fake Hip Hop, Folk. A lot of Side B is ode to Funk Flex, and of course every other radio station I rip off of.

From the Window

Spying on some night time passer-bys from my window

One Morning

2011-01-03T00:19:00.002-05:00

Its been ages since I used an SLR, so one morning I had the opportunity to be awake at sunrise and walked around with my camera and a couple lenses. Fells a lot better than the pocket cam. This is the first time I hate Targets scanning, I'll have to rescan these some time.

Doing Our Best..

2011-01-02T02:38:00.002-05:00

...to get photos in the winter time. Its tough.

My crew illuminates.

Dan V tailblocking. This spot is kool. Took some efforts to skateboard on.

BJ, shutting things down with this rock n roll

Crowded Cat Sparks

2010-12-17T14:39:00.002-05:00

A minimal view of the new meadowlands stadium.

No, no beer for you cat, put your paw down, right now.

Buzzzzzz.

Rear Windows

2010-12-11T17:44:00.002-05:00

For a while I was real into doing this. riding around and finding car's rear windows with nice reflections of buildings in them. After more misses than hits, I think I may be over it, but I enjoyed doing it

The great one.

New Coat

2010-11-20T04:10:00.003-05:00

I'm never really one to make diptychs out of photos, but this one was begging for it. I didn't expect the guy to spot me on the second photo, I thought I was being slick. As soon as he looked down I snapped it and skated away, thinking he was going to jump down or something.

I promise, no more photos till some illustration goes up

Longer Exposures

2010-11-18T15:47:00.002-05:00

Could be stars, could be scanner dust. Up to you.

At first I wasn;t too into this one, but I think I like it for other reasons than I made it. Its one of those things you have to stare at because the color hurts

Etchinging

2010-11-02T17:30:00.004-04:00

This was inspired by a series of unhappy MTA clerks.

This guy was interesting. He initialy thoguht I didn't speak english. I've always suspected that I look foreign. He confirmed it. His name is Derek. He's upset with racial tensions.

Put your 3D glasses on. Crowded day on a bus. After missing 5 due to crowding, I picked a winner.

The Animal Post

2010-10-26T23:50:00.001-04:00

Its strange when a cat really locks eyes with a camera.

This isn't the best photograph, but I had quite the time feeding the animals with this woman.

The animals had quite the time feeding off of me

Nude Woman Etching

2010-10-13T00:27:00.002-04:00

This is an etching plate that I got ready to work on more, but when I looked at it, I realized i kind of liked it in its current state. So I needed to scan it in before its gone forever.

Taco Woman

2010-10-11T00:03:00.002-04:00

Rozbo, showing this ledge some quick love in Jersey Ctiy. Apparently I'm on a skyline binge.

Mr. Eric Dermond with the Blunt 180. Rarely do I get to take natural light photos of skating, its a pleasure everytime.

Back from Hiatus.

2010-10-07T19:55:00.003-04:00

Nick Immediato, can't get enough of these dangerous bridge photos. Its been too long, more skate photos to come in the future, I promise.

Turned Around

2010-09-30T03:56:00.001-04:00

Another product from craft night at Ms Forte's place. Got accidentally creative with a mixed technique of butane transfers/matte medium stripping of sorts.

Peter Heinemann

2010-09-17T13:35:00.007-04:00

My first year drawing teacher, Peter Heinemann, recently died this week. He was an awesome guy, lots of ridiculous quotes from him are scribbled in my sketch book. He was quite the cool guy.

This is a drawing I worked on for about 5 weeks in his class, measuring all the items I drew, side my side. This drawing is about 4'x6', a huge drawing, very hard to photograph. These objects pretty much represent him, they made an appearance in another drawing of mine that was on here before:

Filled with all the same objects.

And lastly, here is his last speech to us as a class, its a funny little story. Click to listen:

PS, the Shindig Pigeon board was also inspired by a Peter painting in which a cat's asshole was shown, disturbing everyone that looked at it

From the Vaults

2010-09-16T00:18:00.002-04:00

I had forgotten about these, stumbled across them on my computer:

Never really messed with cityscapes/landscapes too much.

"Feel like you live your life on the toilet?"

Props to Nadal Scordo who posed (in a chair) for the illustration

L35af

2010-09-07T18:48:00.004-04:00

This guy coerced me into taking a photo of him.

My love for the Kennedy never dies.

Only a few more businesses between C and 1st to take pictures of.

Andrea bought me Rock the Bells tickets for my birthday.

Ron, always down for a photo if I have some change in my pocket.

I was going to take this photo without this man, but I saw him staring at me with the camera for a while, so I told him to be the subject of my photo. I think he did a great job
