This is a couple days late, but I love Chris Milliman‘s photography and you already know I’m a big fan of Chrome. Chris is a lifelong photographer and cyclist who’s captured everything from urban landscapes to large races, including Cyclocross Nationals and the Tour De France. For a limited time, you can scoop up a Chris Milliman & Chrome Citizen bag featuring iconic photos and the top-quality construction you’ve come to expect from Chrome.

Man oh man…this is what I’m talking about! Two of my favorite skateboarders come together here as Arto Saari shoots photos of John Cardiel. If you know anything about skateboarding, you’ll know that these two, especially Cardiel, are legends within the ‘”sport”; so seeing them involved with bicycles just gets really gets me more hyped. I remember one of my first pairs of skate shoes as a kid being a Vans Cardiels and since then I’ve been a huge fan.
Don’t miss this video below as well as a bonus shot of a frontside slash. Also, repeat after me: “All Hail Cardiel”. Thanks to The Footdown for the tip.

I used to enjoy playing with long exposures and light drawing when I first bought my DSLR but my experimenting was short-lived, I still love shooting long exposures at night though. This work by Brian Hart might have just inspired me to start playing with lasers again.

Alex Harsley – East Village photographer from James Matthews on Vimeo.
I saw this over at the Gage & Desoto blog and found it incredibly interesting. I look forward to meeting people like this, people who have such history, and such stories that you can’t help but listen.
Alex Harsley has been a photographer in New York city since before I was born, and through his photographs and stories we are given an interesting perspective on what it was like living in the city through all those years. He has done wonders for minority artists and creative minds alike. Give the video a watch, and if it’s up your alley you can watch another very interesting piece on Mr. Harsely here.
