FOR THE LOVE OF GOD- can you people PLEASE hire someone who knows what the he** they're doing to shoot your skate photos!?!? Seriously-your lack of familiarity for and of the skateboarding world is incredibly transparent when you hire someone like this guy to shoot sk8ing. This is PORTLAND after all, so what about MAX SOKOL?! He's easily the best skate photog in the entire city, so get on it and hire someone who knows what the deal is! Didn't Max do all the photos for you guys last year and the year before? I'm pretty sure he did, so what happened? Get on it people-this guy sucks! Hiring people who don't know how to shoot skating translates as a lack of respect to the REAL skateboarding community, and that is not a good thing. I challenge anybody who disagree's with me to explain how and why I'm wrong! Fin!
