One of my most valued belongings are the countless thousands of skate photos I’ve taken in my nearly 50 years in skateboarding.
When I made the decision to donate all of my original skate photos to the Skateboarding Hall of Fame Museum last year, I decided to photograph a sampling of my original slide pages, which represent the beginning of the most profound period of my life.
Some of the skaters featured here are Neil Blender, Tony Alva, Dennis Martinez, Mike McGill, Doug Saladino, Paul Hackett, Ellen Oneal, Brad Bowman, Steve Olson, Eddie Reategui, Eddie Elguera, Stacy Peralta, Monty Nolder, George Orton, Rob Roskopp, Darren Ho, Alan Gelfand, Dave Hackett, Dave Andrecht, Marty Grimes, Mike Folmer, Gregg Weaver, Mark Gonzales, Lonnie Toft, Mark Rogowski, Shogo Kubo, Tom Inouye, Chris Strople, Darrell Miller, Billy Ruff, Micke Alba, Steve Schneer, Ray Rodriguez, Steve Alba, Jay Adams, John Gibson, Bobby Valdez, Jeff Phillips, Duane Peters, Jay Smith, Lester Kasai, Rodney Mullen, Russ Howell, Tony Magnusson, Tony Hawk, Chris Miller, Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, and so many more….
