Came across these Skateboard Special magazine/papers from 1977/78.

 

It’s interesting to look at them because they are from issue 1 to issue 22.

They start off monthly and progress to fortnightly, I’m guessing because the skate scene kicked off and content required it plus you can see the progression in advertising from the first issue to the last, which I’m guessing means the industry started to flourish. You can also get an insight into the social issues that affected skating and skaters at the time with reference to slogans like “Don’t let them ban the board”.

New Space.

Portraits.

A collection of some of the candid or spontaneous street portraits from the last year or so.

Been digging around in the negative files because I’m finally putting together a website so I’ve got to scan the negs I want and I’ve got a few thousand to look through.

All shot on a 28mm Elmarit, purists would say 28 isn’t a portrait lens, but I always liked the 28 because it gives a bit of distortion. It also affords me the ability to show context and put the person into their environment, which for me is important to the type of portraits I take.
