High Line Adventures

Manhattan's High Line once served as freight tracks for NYC's booming west side factories. Now being turned into a park, the high school kids I've been shooting for 3 years took me for one last look at this former urban playground. We got chased out twice but still managed to check it out.

Hog Hunt

Trent took me on a late night adventure! Hounds on the hood, dirt roads, squealing hogs and the adrenaline of running through a pitch dark field at 1am got this boy's heart pumping. The big city isn't the only place that the kids rock out. My stay in Oklahoma made see the rest of America in a totally different way.

Beijing China!

China is Amazing! Never before in my life did I experience so many different types of culture shock. Out in Beijing for the release of Nike's new sports wear line. Me and a select group of American magazine editors had the chance to live it up in China's capitol city. The Nike peeps went home after a couple days and I stayed east with the the crushed linen bros as my guides. The Trip was life changing. I hope you enjoy the photos. I feel like a zine or a poster is in mix for the future.

Harlem High School House Party

I can't remember a time I felt more alive. Ages 12-17 packed an empty Harlem brownstone. Dad said no drinks aloud, the kids rocked out, one passed out, the Cops showed up, and then we hit the subway. Amazing!
