Description It's time for what I do best skate... well maybe not since the roskilde festival is taking place now, but pictures....

Anyway I'm really tired of putting this into the photojournalism category. It is a sport, but it's not journalism. This picture is really staged we took several similar pictures this was just the best. I was pumping myself higher and higher up in the air the exact same place so my friend could get the picture right. I dont call that journalism, but is it art? I dont know.

As always I'm taking it to the maximum

Not so much. Theres not really anywhere to go close to where i live, so I mostly just stick to the streets. I would absolutely LOVE to skate vert though. Looks so sick.

It's amazing I love skating. This picture is actually framed and on my wall. You meet so many different people through skating. In a couple of months I might join some pros in france.

Thats awesome! Youre so lucky you get to do that, and I can see why you framed it and have it hanging up. Its a wicked picture. How long have you been skating for?

First of all: position of your body is... breathtaking.
Light, sky, everything looks perfect.
I agree with you, putting all pictures like this one into the photojournalism category... isn't neat at all.

So, if you were on a deserted island with no food, water, or shelter, ((or oxygen if you want to be extreme)) but there was a skate park all to yourself, you'd survive?

hehe it just vert skating on a good day with no wind. You can really catch some hight when there is no wind. I really like the sky not just on this picture, but when it's summer it's always beautiful just before the sunset or even after.

i personally think that its an amazing shot. i also dont have any official knowledge in photography, but i am confident in my taste for visual appeal. in my eye this is a great pic because of the color/ lighting.. the pose and how you are above the trees and skyline in the background.. so that you really get that feeling of air. to go a bit deeper my personal opinion is that a picture taken in an artistic intention is art... then comes all the breaking it down into sub catigories and yadda yadda such lol. ehh i dont know.. im just trying to give you props because i honestly feel that you are very good with a camera and having an eye for photography.. somone whos gone throu like 14 years of school for photography might disagree. but i think tallent is something that for the most part you either have or dont have and its not something that can be taught or forced upon anyone. *shruggs* i like it alot.. ill stop rambling now

hehe I dont mind your rambling I guess you can learn too much from the school of photography. I think you loose your own creativity in a lot of ways. I dont know I would never attend a school like that. I think it's nice to just learn from your own experience and from dA. I guess you could learn good things such as techniches etc. at a photo-school. Other than that I dont like rules - I dont think you should limit your pictures just because there are some certain 'rules'.
