Thanks for the opportunity NYskateboarding.com! This past fall I sat down and chatted with my homies for some Q&A time and a chance to showcase some of my work. Be on the look out for my new photo site in 2014 for more and thanks again for the interview and the support. Click here to check out the interview

My buddy Marcus Montenegro of Outpost Studios invited us for a last minute wall ride session. Good times were had by all! Skaters from KCDC, SHUT, Wampum and a grip local NYC skaters and spectators came thru to shred this amazing space and hang out. Thank you D.J. SMOKE L.E.S for killing it on the beats and getting busy on the wall. Check out my photos by clicking the “read more” to view all the action.

My good friend Julio Pardo is showing his photography this Sunday in Brooklyn. It’s going to be sick! I was privy enough to get a peek at the zine tonight. I’m sure the exhibit will hold up to its expectations of the zine. Julio’s photo show and zine release party will be joined with close friend Amanda Merten Sunday, January 22nd, 7pm to 10pm, Trumbull Studios, 143 Roebling st, #5 ( 3rd Floor ) in Brooklyn NYC. Show curated by Ripe. Congrats Julio!!!

MIA Skate Shop hosted “The Blackout Photo Show” sponsored by OTW Vans during Art Basel. This is just what I needed after walking Art Basel’s extensive and overwhelming to say the least art show. Ako and Atiba Jefferson had their photo show in downtown South Beach Miami this past Saturday Night at the world famous MIA Skate Shop. Photos of Tony Alva, John Cardiel and recent trip down to Jamaica were displayed in the MIA Skate Shop that was converted into a dope Gallery fully equiped with plenty of beer and kick ass music by the Jefferson Duo. Great hanging with MIA’s Crew Chris, Andre, Joel Meinholz, Pres Rodriguez, Rambo, Ryan Dewitt, Amy Gunther, IO, Jason Dill, Mike Malbon, Kevin Kellett, Jon Newport and Yelawolf.
Check out my photo’s from the night here.

Closing Party for “Skateboarding Works” Photography Exhibit Sat. Nov. 5th 9pm till late. The show features three NYC based photographers and their take on skateboarding culture in NYC. Photos by Erica Reade, Michael A. Cohen & Paris Goodman. Presented by Andrew Green. Venue: PANDA BAR NYC (139 Chrystie Street, New York, between Delancey & Broome)

Celebrating Four Twenty last night at MILK Gallery was awesome! They had about Sixty of New York’s Up and coming “Next Generation” Photographers showing off their best. One of them was my good buddy Taji Ameen who I have known since he was about 12 Years old Skateboarding for a company I used to work for. Taji is now 21 ish and his photo skills just keep getting better. And so has his Skateboard Career and impact on the NYC Skateboarding Community. The best part about Taji’s photo is that it’s a photo of Mark Gonzales who is one of my favorite Skateboarders. Check out some more fans of Taji’s photo after the jump.

Just wanted to remind you this Wednesday is my good friend Jenna Gang’s opening reception. It is from 6-9pm at 50 w 22nd st. Bring anyone and hope to see you there!

Skate Lair Skateboard shop owner Erik Munday gets captured by photographer Michael Cirelli deep in the New England Forrest. Now if your looking to skate this spot I recommend you going over to a real skateboard shop like Skate Lair and buy something and maybe, just MAYBE Erik will tell you where it is.

Radcollector gave you the heads up on this one and I hope that if you live in the NYC area you were able to peep the “Help Is On The Way Photo Show” down in the LES.
My buddy Taji Ameen was one of seven young New York City Artist who had his photos featured in the show and celebrated his “21″st Birthday! The show was packed with local skateboarders, hot fashion girls and LES regulars. Everyone was psyched on the art work as well as the scene that overstayed the small future home of Caffe Vita. Nice work Taji, and great seeing your Dad, Robby supporting the arts!
