Day 87 Skateboarder


While on a walk with one of my old dogs Seven, I spotted a few boys playing around on their skateboards. I asked them If I could get a picture of them skating so they obliged by skating and jumping right in one little spot of light. I'm not sure how much I like this picture but I have to say it does remind me of suburbia.
Which is a nice sight considering how many houses around here are vacant. Last night a house burned down because homeless squatters started a fire. Two nights previous we were awakened by police lights searching the alley way for someone who I thought they'd never catch, until I heard them shouting "GET DOWN, HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK". They got their man in the backyard three houses down from us. Scary times all these empty houses. I started a black and white picture essay on the subject in March. I'm thinking I need to go back and continue working on it.
