skate days : a wonderful collection of pics.
Some memories of the good ole days. Used to be on the Pepsi skateboard team back in the 70s on the East Coast. We would put on shows at verious locations in New England and abouts..We went to New York a few times for a few parades including the Macys day parade where we skated with Tony Alva during his hayday. Steve Ellis AKA Woody Woodflow and later known as Cholo (of Hawaii) was also on the team..Some of the great parks we skated in this erra were Cherryhill in NJ, Shooting Star in Mass, Vernon in CT, Centrifical Force in RI and of coarse Yawgoo Valley Ski resort of RI… (our roots)

Hi Grant, who are you?
J. Grant Brittain, 53 years old, Leo, live in Encinitas with wife, two teens, cat and puppy. Just trying to live the best I can in this short time we have. I try to surf when the swell hits. I am a photographer, I shoot skateboarding for my job and artsy stuff for fun and sanity. I am part owner of The Skateboard Mag in Solana Beach, CA. I want to be buried with my Leica.
Where are you right now?
I am home with a puppy trying to keep her from peeing on the floor.

For skateboarding, Canon Eos-1d Mark 2, Canon lenses, Hasselblad 301 CW, Leica M6 and Canon G9 and a shit-load of other cameras.
Pierre-André Senizergues

My family, they make my life very full. Music and Art past and present. Nature, the sky, land and the ocean fulfill me and motivate me to make photos.

I feed off of my peers in my work, they get and keep me going. The Masters in photography and Art show me how great Humans can be.
