In recent years, Winchester installed it’s concrete slab skate park in Jim Barnett park. The skate park, an homage to “The Spot,” offers skateboarders, scooter riders and BMX riders a place to collectively practice their passions.
Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to spend two days photographing at the skate park. On day one I was introduced to a skater named Santi who was friendly enough to let me photograph him during his session. On the second day I had to rare opportunity to photograph professional skateboarder, Evan Smith, who was gracious with his time and offered me pointers on some of my photographs.
Photographing a professional skateboarder was an opportunity I did not see coming but I am grateful for the opportunity and so happy and proud of the images we produced.
