2010 Photographic Year in Review.

As the year comes to a close, I like to look back at some of the photos I shot over the past 12 months. I do it mostly for myself but also in hopes that this will hype some people up to go skate, shoot photos or just get outside and live. I have skated more backyard pools this year than most people will get to skate in their lifetime…Ozzie Ausband and the Badlands crew are 100% responsible for that. Getting to skate and shoot with some of the greatest dudes around is truly an honor. Each year my board and camera take me to amazing places and introduces me to people that I know I can call friends for life. Here is just a small sample of the things that went down this year.

Fuck Cancer.

Tragedy has struck our AZ brethren and Grind for Life has stepped in to help.

Tara Locker, the ultimate ‘skate betty’ and real boss of AZPX Skateboards has been stricken with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. After going through a bi-lateral mastectomy, Tara is going to have endure the next year of grueling Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments. In an effort to relieve some of the financial strains that the family will endure, GrindforLife.org has teamed up with AZPX to issue the AZPX/Grind for Life ‘Tara Locker Bro Model’, with all proceeds going directly to Tara Locker on behalf of GrindforLife.org. There are only 100 of these limited edition decks available in AZPX Standard Sizes (while supplies last). Mention what size you prefer in the paypal special note box. We are also putting out a great shirt for kids to wear to school. You can purchase each separate or as a specially priced shirt/deck combo.
