Capturing Motion

In this assignment we had to capture motion, either completely still or by showing the movement.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Several people were trespassing near the fish hatchery Sunday at an abandoned building foundation to skateboard and build objects for skateboarding on.

Travis Petrie, 23, was among the crowd of six skateboarders who had scaled a fence with multiple no trespassing signs to access the building foundation where they wanted to perform their skateboard maneuvers.

Skateboarding is something I believe in,” Petrie said. “That includes the progression of the legality of it. If that means risking harassment, tickets or getting arrested, that’s what has to happen.”

The skateboarders were grinding a ledge that had been built by skaters who had previously visited the vacant location. They were also doing flip tricks over a gap in the concrete.

“Skateboarding is an art form,” Petrie said, “It never gets boring. I skate for the same reason I eat, I have to.”
