So I just got back from a 30 day trip threw Europe. It was cool and stuff. I was working on a documentary called Skate Europe Season 2 for VBS with my friend Chris Grosso. I was the filmer and Chris was the producer. It comes out in Febuary so keep an eye out, it’s gonna be sick. Anyways I got this folder medium format camera in the mail 2 hours before I left for the trip and took some photos when I wasn’t filming.

We crashed at Pontus Alv’s house when we got to Malmo Sweden. He woke us up every morning with a fruit smoothie, orange juice, cream cheese and cucumbers on toast, and a cup of coffee. It was a great way to start the day.

This is inside one of those double decker bus’s. My friend Daniel Tapper showed me around London and some of the sick skate spots.

I followed this old woman around for a while since she interested me so much. I watched her stare at the Big Ben for a long time, then walked across the street and watch it some-more, then she stole a newspaper and disappeared into the subway. I think she’s my guardian angel, but she didn’t want to tell me yet.

27_PUPPY

28_DANNYSPLACE
Daniel Tapper let me crash with him at his girlfriend Thea’s apartment. They were both so hospitable and kind. I wish I had a photo of her. Wait I do. Heres one from when they came to New York and we went to Montauk right before this whole trip.

Montauk, 30 days back in time.

29_DANNYBLUE
London, 30 days forward in time, Daniel took the day off from school to show me around on my last day before I went back to New York. I’ll miss him and Thea and hopefully one day they will both move to New York. Any modeling agencies wanna give my friend Daniel Tapper some gigs in New York? Well goodbye Europa…thanks for having me.

Special thanks to Chris Grosso, Vice and Vans for letting me go on this fantastic journey.
