Interstate Grind
An example of my FAVORITE type of architectural photography: adding human elements in human designs. Architecture is made for people, so I love shooting urban design projects that include space in action: plazas, parks, bridges, parks, museums, etc. My kind of tax dollars at work!
The 90s weren't kind to Skateboarders. You'd think they descended from the black plague the way older, puritanical guardians of "decency" clutched their pearls at the sight of scraped knees through torn Jenko Jeans. Little Hellians of chaos and disorder just looking for a park bench to grind on. They couldn't fathom that what they were witnessing was not some societal decay, but a culture in the making—something raw, rebellious, and unapologetically alive that would one day rise to great heights of "respectability" in the form of an Olympic sport. Instead, they fumed and sputtered, called the cops, and slapped “No Skateboarding” signs on every vertical surface they could find. And yeah, I guess a fair amount were punks up to "no good." But whether it's a halfpipe or an influencer, it always seems that generations resent younger people who carve their own paths through life.
Lot 11 skatepark was a bold initiative that makes brilliant use of all the space beneath Interstate -95 in downtown Miami. Instead of just another parking lot or den of needles and blight, the city transformed the area into a community bonding space with a plethora of benefits, giving a safe area for people to skateboard without disturbing other public areas of the city and enhancing the skate scene in the city. I set up my camera high on a 25-foot tripod and wirelessly captured frame after frame after frame until I had my human subjects right where I wanted them.
This image reflects the raw and authentic spirit of the urban movement. Perfect for those who appreciate the pulse of city life and love street photography, architecture, and skate culture.
This is a Limited Edition Print. Once it's gone, it's gone. I legally can't print more than 15 of these, even if I change my mind later!
