Chris Small in Milton Keynes, England by Rob Perry.

“I shot this photo last weekend in Milton Keynes, England of my mate Chris Small. It was taken at around 11:30 at night when we were just riding around the city having a good session and I decided to get out my camera at this cool alley spot we ride. I wanted to create/shoot the photo so it looked as if the street lights were lighting up the scene, I used a Elinchrom Ranger Quadra RX kit that I was borrowing from college to light up the photo. But when I was placing the lights it was quite annoying because there was a short wire that was connecting the battery pack to the two lights, so I had to work out the different angles for the lights with them not far apart. But it worked out and this is what I got.

Camera info: Canon 7D with a 50mm 1.8. 1/100, @ f/5.6, ISO 250 and then Elinchrom Ranger Quadra RX lights.”

“shooting with a pegless bike rider is always one of my favorites to capture, like this one of Andy Erickson better known as “Floyd”. Like the spot GURU he is, while at a local mexican joint across the street from this, kinda ending the day, he told us about a little jib down the way, there he nailed out this wall 180. after a few slight repositions of the camera this is what we got.

“After Texas we hit the road towards Louisiana, in the hope of some kind of sanctuary. We found Baton Rouge and to be fair we should have never left. That place is perfect. Later we drove across the Bayou and into New Orleans where we stuck it out for a few days. The trip was amazing, some genuine good times and come December 3rd you can watch the full edit online. Until then we have a 35mm film photo gallery to view on the site.” –WeThePeople

Photo of the Week: Frank Christenson

A simple icepick on a bench in San Diego by Tom Perry balances the frame in this clean shot from Frank Christenson.

“I shot this when I visited San Diego, Ca last year (2013) with a Canon Ae-1 and Canon FD 50mm lens.The aperture was all the way open while the shutter was at about 1/500. Maybe 1000. No lights. Kodak 400 C-41.

I was pumped when I got the negatives back because I had stored the rolled stored away like a time capsule, which means I didn’t process it for few months. But long story short I really like the composition. and I’m into the lines and shapes. Simple trick, and it shows that the subject is going across the picture versus running out of the frame.”

“This was one of those makeshift spots that could only be hit a couple times, due to the fact that the fence was already on its last legs. Elf smashed into it a few times before giving it this X up tap and nearly bringing the whole thing down.” –Matt Windsor

“Salt Lake’s industrial areas always have a few good things tucked away in them. Manny Kilpack put this concrete factory to good use with a turndown off the side of a support beam.” –Matt Windsor

Troy “Six” Spear by Matt Windsor

Salt Lake Sundays

“Troy “Six” Spear is a goddamn lunatic. Getting to ride with him is always entertaining, because he will throw himself at anything that happens to be in his way. This DIY spot under a bridge downtown is a haven on rainy days, and Six handled this wallride gap like it was no big deal.”
