Video: The Guerrilla Gallery Project

With much of the last two months dedicated to finishing my capstone (those photos will be posted soon) and helping my fellow VPA majors with their own, I've had little time to update the blog. With that said, I just finished editing a video for my good friend Katie Webb's project. The majority was filmed by me with my D7000 with some secondary footage (towards the end of the video) from a friend on his Rebel t2i. I'm pretty happy with the results and will be making it a point to work more to improve with video and editing over the summer. View FULLSCREEN for HD (720p).

Cachagua

  Zarosh is raw. In everything he does, he goes all out; be that skateboarding, dirt boarding, driving, building things, screen printing, or the multitude of other things he seems to be good at. Last Sunday, I took a trip with Zarosh and some friends out to his Carmel Valley property where, for the past 4 years, he has been hard at work building an amazing bowl, one 80lb. bag of concrete at a time. 

  After a few pit stops, including some dirt boarding and this gnarly, random roll-in on the gate to what is supposedly the drummer from Earth, Wind, and Fire's mansion, we found ourselves high upon a hilltop overlooking a sculpturesque mass of concrete and pool coping. Unique, rugged, and fun-as-hell to skate, the bowl is a genuine work of art...

Scoping out this root for a possible tail-drop. Dirt wheels open up some strange possibilities for skateboarding.

Stoke for the park transcends the spectrum of age.

Cachagua-land is a ever-expanding work-in-progress. With the next pour scheduled for April, Zarosh can use all the support he can get. Check out the bowl's official site here for more information on the park and what you can do to help!
