Idyllic Winter Session Number One

Waking early on a Saturday morning can sometimes be the best thing in the world. When you’re woken repeatedly by a mewling kitten several hours in a row it can be difficult to claw the day back, so to speak. Dave G and Corey were keen to roll somewhere… anywhere.

Saturday morning at the Hoof, June 27.

For my recent 30th birthday my wonderful wife bought me a Nikon D40 digital SLR. I’ve been waiting for a saturday morning Hoof session since I got it, as Aaron Wheat’s photos showed it to be a very photogenic park indeed- and I was excited to try my hand at skate photography while I’m injured.

Riley from Brantford travelled up for the session and landed this sweet mizou.

Good morning to you too, Mr.Chow
