When I was 16 - 20 I worked for Poweredge Skateboarding magazine, as a photographer among other things. I used to have a slew of photos of skateboarding but I gave most of them to the people who were in them, it just didn't seem like having shelves of notebooks full of late 80s skateboarding would ever do me much good. I held on to a handful of them that I like though, some are below.
Mike Vallely once told me this was his favorite photo of him skateboarding, I don't know if it still is, but I like it.
On the other hand Ron Cameron hated this photo because his hand wasn't on the coping, but everyone else loved it and it ended up as a centerfold. Notice the Coke can in the background, that was Phil E's work.

Jason Lee - before his retirement and his unretirement and, and...
Rodney Mullen was fun to take photos of because he didn't fall very often and he was smart and would talk to me about things I didn't yet understand.

Neil Blender - great skateboarder, great artist, not the greatest guy, but maybe it's just me. Neil challenged me to fight while sitting in a Denny's in the middle of an interview.
Jeremy Klein in between eating candy and playing video games. This was an Airwalk ad.
Ed Templeton - Ed is one of my favorite skateboarders and favorite people - I used to spend a ton of time with him and shot thousands of photos of him, and I couldn't find a single one of him skateboarding. But this photo was from the photo shoot of his first ad.
