Pierre “Papi” Prospero is a good friend of mine that I met through skateboarding in Paris, France years back. My friends and I stayed at his apartment as strangers and Papi was more than inviting and one of the funniest and most energetic tour guides a skater could hope for.

We still stay in contact and I’ve followed his photojournalistic career in the 10+ years since we first met. He’s just released a new portfolio online and his work continues to impress and inspire me. Stay crazy, Papi!

I’ve been a fan of Alex Olson’s work in front of the lens for a while, and now am a fan of his work behind it. I did a little interview with AO for skateboarding.com and he blessed me with a handful of snaps too. Check it out here.
