When I first got into photography, it was through my fascination with skateboarding and skateboard magazines. It felt as if the photos would pull me into the world and culture of skateboarding. I would find myself going on hours looking at the images of tricks, travels, and adventures. All in this world that I would be lucky enough to contribute my own visuals someday.

Fast forward to the present; I have met some of the gnarliest and coolest people that I have ever known. Skateboarding and photography have connected me with individuals from all over the country and the world. This book is a photo collection of the past 11 years of my street missions, travels, international adventures, and more. I wanted to create something tangible that gives that same energy that I feel every time I pick up a skate mag or photo book. More than that, I want to display the world of skating as I see it. CHROMATIC. Full of all walks of life. Not just the pros you see in the mags and videos, but the people that come after them. Your local shop crew. A few dudes that you see skating a spot that you once thought about hitting. Young girls and boys catching the stoke after their first time on deck and wheels. The old heads who still get out there, even for just a couple of slappies.

I hope that this book is an inspiration to all and continues to keep those good vibes alive.
