The gnarly fakie rock, that’s right gnarly

The gnarly fakie rock? I know you are thinking not a gnarly trick. Well on this DIY quarter it actually was gnarly. As a matter of fact, the fisheye lens makes transitions look mellow. But this quarter is gnarly. And if you could see the makes and bails would have seen some near ankle-breaking action. This brings me to another skate photographer challenge and that is to watch someone almost wreck themselves to get a trick.

So there you have it. Skateboarder Felicia Gibbs shows us fakie rocks can be gnarly.

Desire at NAMM 2020 exists, street photography gallery

Desire at NAMM 2020

Desire at NAMM 2020 exists. In fact, NAMM is brimming with passion. And there are many levels of desire at NAMM.

The NAMM show contains people who desire to be finished with their music business. And, there is a larger amount of people who have a curiosity about music. In essence, this is the NAMM phenomenon. And it all circles back to desire.

There are many levels of desire at the show. First the musicians

The NAMM show contains people who want to become better musicians and others who desire fame. And musicians who used to be famous who now desire recognition. Also, people who desire musical friendships. And some go to NAMM to keep up with old friends.

The business people

There are people who desire money from selling musical instruments. And, companies who desire the creation of new instruments. And, people who use the show to get away from their normal jobs. What happens at NAMM stays at NAMM. And now onto the pictures.

I shot these pictures in a Daido Moriyama street photography style with a fuji camera and my iPhone. My intent was to capture desire within the photographs. To walk and point my camera at people pursuing their “desire”.
