Looks good. Hope it's not too pricey.

Awesome. Pete is the first pro skate photographer I met. He was shooting Dan Murphy fakie frontside flip this loading dock bump in Chapel Hill, NC.
I'd never seen someone show up to a spot and walk the perimeter of the whole thing to scope out the angle. He set up his flashes, got Dan to stand in front of the spot, and took a test focus shot that spit out a polaroid.
Then Dan did the trick and Pete nailed the photo 2nd take. What was unique about the photo, or the other photos he shot on that day, were he was setting the exposure so low and using the flashes to light everything up. It was a cool vignetting effect.
Anyways, I had complete forgot about this moment until now.
Looking forward to the book. Always appreciate seeing people who spent most of their early photo lives learning to shoot on film.

This is going to be great, cant wait
-
Yeah hyped on this! Been getting a lot of social media coverage lately.
-
I've seen the book and it's great. Like really great. There's some very iconic photography in there along with a good balance of skate photos, portraiture and other 'documentary' style photos. I'm specifically thinking of this one photo of a suuuuper young Mark Appleyard+Rodrigo TX photo - there's so many like this. Definitely gotta pick it up when it's officially out.

looked through it already. highly recommend. there's a chris cole photo in there that should make yall laugh
-
pre-ordered it thanks to the thread.
-
Picked it up at my local, $60 but the quality of the book itself and the photos it contains are worth every dollar (to me).
-
lots of really great photos in there. the chris cole one as mentioned above is good as well as the photo of baby bam.
its $60, worth the price especially for the 10 pages of tom penny photos, which is supposed to only be for the first run of the book.
catch him in your city if you can while he's doing signings, too.
-
It’s $90 in Canada, grabbed one yesterday and it’s well worth it. Quality and content is top notch.
-
Just got a copy and its so full of insane skateboarding Nostalgia Stoked there was some writing in there and not just all photos.
-
I'm surprised it's not hardcover.
-
It is hardcover. The photo at the top of the thread is from January when he just had rough/dummy copies.
-
I'm surprised it's not hardcover.
i guess there are different versions.
The one i have here in France has a hardcover
-
Got it today, it is hardcover and worth every penny.

Just got this today, mine is a first edition, there’s only 4 Penny photos including the back cover. Anyone have these alleged extra Penny photos in their copies?
Book is so fucking excellent.
-
Stoked to get this.
Since I was apparently able to will Marianos back in the universe, I’m going to set my efforts on getting a Daniel Harold Sturt book made

Damn, that’s a bummer! I ordered a copy straight from the publisher and I wasn’t sure if it was a first edition or not, so I grabbed a copy Pete was selling at a signing with the extra Tom Penny stuff. Absolutely worth it.

Also can we talk about how fucking ILL that Kalis and Birdman vert doubles photo is!!?
-
Didn't even realize there was different versions. Mine has the 10 page spread of Penny. I grabbed it from the shop I work at.
-
Does anyone know somewhere that has this in stock
-

this photo alone makes the price of admission worth it.

Favorite pic in the whole book - and that was a hard conclusion to make. The book is excellent! Highly recommended to anyone that grew up watching all the usual TWS, éS and Flip videos in the early 2000's.

Long shot but does any one know where you can buy it either online or in person in Australia?
