Kids Kingdom close up

This is a picture of a derelict mining site in St.Agnes Named Kids Kingdom where used to skate before the place got invaded by Gypsy's and they took it over. I like the form and structure of all the ruins and the potential it has for skateboarding in this landscape.

Cruzing

I took this picture of max cruzing by in a under ground car park and fallowed him with the camera on a slow shutter speed to make sure the back ground is blurred but you can still see him fairly well to show the speed of skateboarding.

Kids Kingdom

This is a black and white film photo taking with a Pentax K1000 camera. The picture is off a place in St.Agnes called kids Kingdom where people used to skate before the mental gypsy took it over.

ghetto Ramp 2


This is the another picture of the ghetto Bowl showing you some of the tools the skater are using to clear the place out. I like my black and white pictures because in the photos I am showing you the reality of Cornwall for a skater and not every thing all the holiday makes see like the beaches and the picture perfect sun sets of Cornwall in this way I think my work relates to Robert Frank and his travels through America showing us the reality of America and the American dream.

Ghetto Ramp

This is the old deserted ghetto bowl which skater's are now clearing I like the way the place looks old and dingy. This was taken with a Pentax K1000 using black and white film.

No Entry

This is a entrance to a new skate spot where skaters are clearing it out in St. Agnes. I took this picture of the brambles and the old rusty gate with the NO ENTRY sign on it because I think it shows how skateboarders like to keep the places that they use secret and have pride in them.
