Natas Kaupas Frontside Air Venice High 1988 Size:12x16 I shot this directly into

I shot this directly into the sun with my Nikon FM2 and a Sunpak flash

the Del Mar Skate Ranch

I think I shot this with a Pentax K1000 and a fisheye lens

and the graffiti makes the shot all that more punk rock

In this photo that I shot it is unmarked and there is not one bit of graffiti on its walls

Natas Kaupas Frontside Air Venice High 1988 Size:12x16 I shot this directly intoI shot this photo of Natas Kaupas at Venice High School in Venice, California, in 1988. Street skating was in its infancy and Natas, Gonz, Guerrero and a few others were breaking all boundaries. I shot this photo with my Nikon FM 2 and a 16mm fisheye lens. Natas was flying off the hip of the bank and towards me, wearing a Public Enemy shirt. I probably had never listened to Public Enemy at this point in history. It's available on the following paper
