Here is my video entry from the "Love Thy Neighborhood" Art Show and New Year's Eve Party. Just another normal session at the park, nothing out of the ordinary. At least until the filmer starts spacing out...Thanks for tuning in.

Loading...Tom Mckessy

Here's a new short made just for Instagram. I built this old computer style intro a while back and figured it needed a home. So I threw in a quick line I filmed with Tom, added some motion and there you have it. Maybe I'll keep this "Loading..." series going. Thanks for tuning in.

Ground Zero : September 11, 2010 : New York City

Here are the 35mm photographs from my visit to Ground Zero on September 11, 2010.

Police officers walk quietly past the spot where the World Trade Center Towers once stood.

The NYPD's Counter Terrorism Unit were on duty at Ground Zero.

A man armed with his megaphone speaks to a crowd of WTC visitors as they walk by. 2010 was the year of the big mosque protests that occurred near the WTC, and protestors both for and against the building on the mosque so near Ground Zero were a common sight.

A biker stops to watch as a crowd gathers near the Ground Zero Cross.

HATE

PEACE

A man wearing the American flag like a cape shrugs in front of Ground Zero, as if he was admitting to me that he didn't have the answers to all the questions I had swirling around in my brain after such a heavy day.

A view of the crowd in front of World Trade Center One. I stood here for a while and tried to imagine what the scene must have been like on that day in 2001. I was seeing it all right in front of me but I still couldn't really grasp the fact that it had really happened.

The Eternity Lights rise above the darkness in honor of all the victims of the September 11th attacks.

Skatepark of Tampa 2014 Course Edit

     Every year the guys at Skatepark of Tampa redesign the park and every year I make an edit to showcase how the locals navigate through all the new nooks and crannies within the new course. 

Watch as Tom Mckessey, Stephen Buggica, Derrick Wynn, Dustin Eggeling, Angel Carela, and Joe Pelham put the new course to proper use. Big shout out to the homies at The Compound Collective for helping with the production of this edit. Tom sprayed out a custom font for the logo and Angel put together a sick remix of SKYWLKR's "Grape Ape" for the second part of the video. As always, thanks for tuning into TRANSMIT.

Mole in SF : The Remix : January 2011

     Presenting "Mole in SF : The Remix", a two part video compilation created to showcase my personal San Francisco experience in all its glory. It's a sort of cut and sew of everything we filmed in my two week stay. I mean these edits have it all; the hills, the trees, the spots, the hobos, the trees, the street beers, a detailed discussion regarding Gordon Bombay's hockey career, shitty West Coast jocks talking shit, and possibly the ugliest joint ever rolled. Enjoy and stay tuned to TRANSMIT for more 100% original programming.

San Francisco : January 2011

Cruising with Bristol

 Hubba Hideout was demolished less than three weeks after I shot this photo.

 The Embarcadero Fountain

 View of the TransAmerica Pyramid

 The Golden Gate Bridge

 Rumor has it that this very thin row of apartments on Broadway in which Bristol and Ian live was once the residence of several famous Beat Poets, including the likes of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.

The City of the Seven Golden Hills 

I want to send out a big thanks to Bristol and Ian for letting me crash in their tiny North Beach apartment for more than two weeks. This trip would not have been possible without them. Stay tuned to Transmit where I will repost the video footage from this same trip featuring me and these two shredding everything this amazing city has to offer.
