My friend Min found this in Beijing, he saw a boy riding it in Tienamen square & bought it off the kid for 100yuan.  Its a vintage Santa Cruz skateboard, probably over 30 years old.  I’ve contacted Santa Cruz skateboards to check with them if they can tell us more about this board.  In any case, this is a cool collector’s skateboard!

Went on a skate photo mission with JBS yesterday, he was going to do “3D skateboarding photos”; this was something I had to check out.

Later, I was super psyched to meet the photographer, Henry Chung,  who is a renowned & award winning cinematographer & photographer.

3D Photos can be viewed with special stereoscopes & the image viewed would appear to be coming out of the picture…..
Anyway, in order to shoot these stereo pictures, you need a special dual camera rig.   Being the gadget / camera geek that I am, I was totally blown away when I saw Henry’s camera gear:

Double-Fisted Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III ’s  ready for 3D action.
These babies produce 21 mega-pixel images each.

The 2 beasts were synced & controlled by a special controller;
Henry even let me shoot a couple of shots with it!

It was cool to watch Henry work; I can’t wait to check out the 3D skateboarding shots.
Thanks again, Henry & JBS!
