Dude, don't be nervous! This is the only thread on Slap where I've personally never seen shit slung so people should always feel safe here. Those are definitely some good photos for your first foray into black and white photo. I'm currently teaching high school photo and I definitely started appreciating the process of developing skills a lot more. As a skateboarder, you naturally have a more interesting view of the world than most people, and I'm pretty sure most people here would agree with that. I especially like the American flag and truck shot!
