The person who gave me the idea of taking photographs of me skateboarding mid way through a trick at the start of my blog was professional skateboarder, amateur photographer, graphic designer and team manager of toy machine skateboards Ed Templeton.  He is renowned for starting up and managing the skateboard company Toy Machine.  However, he always had an interest in art and taught himself photography by accumulating various books on the subject.  He currently lives in Huntington Beach, California, USA.  Here are a few of Ed's skating photographs.

The idea of capturing an image mid way through a trick really appealed to me.
