The Roosevelt hotel’s room service can supply you with everything you need to give a friend a tattoo when all the tattoo shops are closed or you’re just too tired to leave your room. Dan was nice enough to donate some space on his chest so  I could prove a point one dark dark evening.

Not my first but definitely one of my favorites.

Don King and Har Mar Superstar proving that anything is possible in the USA!

This is what falling in love looks like. I think this photo is from the week we met. Its been almost five months and I’m really happy.

Charles Smith understands that sometimes you have to just dive in if you want to get wet.

I once was a gentleman.

Yep.

Trace Marshall & Alex Knost Colab? 

The part of Texas you try to forget.

Jordan, Sage and myself shared a room in Miami for art basel last year. We learned a lot about ourselves on that trip that I think I will save for an exclusive post to mark the 1 year anniversary.

I feel like this photo could be a screen grab from a sitcom where the rugged outsider guy becomes Mr. mom and is mixing baby formula in the kitchen while entertaining guests and sharing stories from his shady past.

Tim Gavin is a father. 

Cameron’s lawn is made out of dirt.

Back before I had learned how to speak english the Dilman took me in and taught me the ways of America…

The love that never was.

Summertime. 

Cali can even make Bells Palsy look good.

In 2003 Aaron Meza was to wed. Before the wedding he had his bachelor party at the legendary  Pink Motel Pool. 

Some important facts that sadly, were not captured to film: 1. Lance Mountain was doing hand plants two feet from me at the PINK MOTEL  2. I made it over the light 

Long socks, big boards, trucker hats and beer.

No strippers just schralpers.

Tim Gavin always looks this excited right before hot dogs and beer.

Dressed and ready.

The set up.

Nothing wrong with a little product placement on the blog…

I met Tim when I was 14 or 15 and he was living in the valley with Jeron. Tim was the first Pro skater I ever hung out with and I was really excited to get the chance to one day shoot photos of him skating… Tim never let me shoot photos of him skating but he did let Sean Sheffy choke me for eating one of his fries. 

Wait! I found a photo of Lance… Thanks for inviting me Aaron and fulfilling a teenage fantasy.
