Pictures
I stumbled across 20″ Negative because whenever someone comments on Mystic Negro and they have a website I check it out. This time it was Bone pointing out that Kenan Harkin should stop claiming invention of the 360 back flip. Anyway, 20″ Negative is kind of like a British version of Kranky, only less cranky. A guy who used to ride started riding again and also likes to take pictures of folks in, around and coming through his hometown. Check it out.
AtlantaBMX is officially dead, in it’s place is A Life Unseen (although, truthfully, I always liked “Simple Machines” as a name, that’s still a bit BMXy). Jason Williams takes a LOT of pictures and he’s throwing one or two up a day. A lot of good stuff here. Jason’s constantly said that the best piece of camera equipment is a plane ticket and he shows he’s not afraid to leave Atlanta.
Speaking of equipment, Canon China apparently (accidentally) threw up the full specs of the upcoming EOS 50D. It’s a baby step from the 40D, but if you have a 30D it might be worth your while. Better still, 40Ds will have a good drop in price, and 30Ds (which many places still have new in box) will be on sale for pennies. The handfull of NiB 20Ds out there will likely be given away for free (many pro photogs, includding what seems like everyone at Ride, still use 20Ds, three generations old or not).
And, again, if the idea of spending several hundred to several thousand dollars on a camera makes you afeared, check out this guy. He made his cameras out of trash. Yes, trash.
You have no excuse.
