This isn't necessarily a defining image, but skateboarding is how I got into photography as a kid. In the early '90s skateboarding was dead. There were only four kids in the surrounding area that even skated and we wanted to progress. At the time, those VHS shoulder pack personal camcorders were just too big for a 10-year-old, so naturally we turned to still cameras. We would divide up the roll of film and each person would take turns shooting and skating for their 8 frames. I still have all those images in a drawer at my parent's house. Great memories and horrible images. Photo: Seth de Roulet
Photography is not always about the actual image. Often, it’s about the moment leading up or the journey to arrive at the image. These 15 images are key stops in my journey of photography over the last 20 years. I have loved every bit of it, and I can’t wait to see what the next 20 years brings.
