Nashville, Tennessee | Dominican Drive

Posted: March 3rd, 2010 | Author: doug | Filed under: dougKIM photography, Film, Leica

There were a bunch of people hanging out in front of this local corner mart as I pulled up. It was early evening in the summer, that great time between the days chores and the night’s revelry. There was a group of guys that I wanted to shoot, smoking and lounging by their cars but they were extremely wary of me as it was obvious I was an outsider. I walked up to these girls instead and started chatting, shooting a few frames as the group of guys dispersed quickly in their cars.

I did not get the shots I wanted but I had a good time hanging out and talking with these girls on a sticky summer evening.

Encino | Pedlow Skatepark

Posted: March 3rd, 2010 | Author: doug | Filed under: dougKIM photography, Los Angeles, Nikon, Skate

Pedlow Skatepark in Encino has a great, massive and roomy keyhole bowl, a large street course, a super tight, shallow snake run and some horseshoes in the street area. There is unfortunately no tree cover and subsequently no shade in the entire park so summer afternoons are brutal. It is near a school also so after 2PM, watch out for the flying groms.

Shot for National Lampoon. I do not remember the significance of the white wicker elephant but this guy had a nice layback air.
