Glad to see the children of my peers showing up and blowing up!

I love Rural Swine. Dave is the man. Artist, chef, surfer. Legend.
This was from the late 90's. We were backstage at the Mad Monk, although it doesn't look like the monk.
I have known them for a long time. Since they were tiny little rats. Now they are out there in the world killing it. Pretty amazing to see. Good on ya guys.
Will Cartier was a crazy little S.O.B. as a kid. And Ross was more careful and calculated. But both of them had it pure in them.You could tell.
I got them on a plank longboard one day for a shoot for Juice Magazine, and they were just having so much fun. Just rushing down the street on this HUGE board with 215′s on them. Their joy was so pure and infectious. So I thought I would share.

My room mate and hardcore vegan, skater, animal lover and hell raiser Thomas “True Love” or “TL” Lawson. Not 100% on the last name at this point. But TL was a great dude. Every Christmas Season he went to New York to help with animal training and handling for the Radio City Music Hall Christmas show. The year this image was taken he had just returned and was starting his car for the first time. A bunch of dried leaves and dripped oil had collected under the hood and when he left it running for a minute, it went up in flames.
Tonight, the skate park owner’s dog, Coco, was at the park. It brought back memories of my main man Yoda. Here are a few choice shots from sessions past.
Yoda watches Pete Thompson (I think) ollie the hip at Middle School in Hampstead, NC
Stoners get stoned at aptly named Pot Springs Ditch. Yoda wasn't down with it, so he bailed.

Robbie Gangemi uses a handicap ramp to lauch above the lens flare. If you look close, you can see Yoda chillin in the back.
