Emmanuel Guzman #5.


Above the black hole.

Emmanuel takes a backside tailside across a giant ditch gap. I like the sense of depth and the sky in the photo caused by the distortion from the fisheye. If I still did more photography, I should invest in a fisheye lens. It would be an interesting new tool to have.

I did manage to get all the snow cleared out of the driveway on Saturday. It warmed up for Sunday and I got skateboard for a while in the afternoon. I didn't think that would happen at the start of the weekend so it was nice surprise. It's been rainy and foggy the last two days and we are due to acquire more snow later today. What are ya gonna do?

Ed Dominick was the photographer.

Is there video of this? That looks freakishly huge.

We had one day of proper snow here (Southern Ontario) - but now it's 9c with rain and everything is flooded.

I imagine there is video somewhere. This spot has been skated a bunch and been on a mag cover or two. I assume it is fairly gnarly, but also this photo makes it look even larger.

We got another snow day and I'm home with what might be a head cold so no post today. I'm hoping things clear up for tomorrow.

There is footage of the trick. It is in his part in one of the Vox DVDs. I don't know exactly which one, since they released four or five volumes. I would have to look through them, but I could find it since I have them all.

I also have all the Vox DVDs, but felt that was too obscure of a thing to mention. The DVDs are index on the Skateboard Music video site.
