Drew Humphrey Photo Journal #5

“I headed out to McCarren skatepark/pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to meet up with James Perez, and a few others, so that we could take some photos. When we arrived, we had to climb over a fence to get into the pool area where the rail was. After a few warm up tricks, James laced a few back savannahs back-to-back every time. I think this was the best of them. Nikon D200, Promaster 17-50 2.8 at 17mm F5, 1/250 iso 100, Nikon sb26 at camera left, sunpak 544 at camera right” – Drew Humphrey.

A Day with I Roll NY’ers

Earlier in the month Htat Lin Htut contacted I Roll NY to create a small feature for Parsons The New School of Design. What started out as a commercial became a short documentary of a session held at McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn, NY. The edit sets a great tone and vibe for the beautiful weather we’ve been having while giving a different perspective and inside look of what a usual NYC session entails. Filmed and edited by Htat Lin Htut featuring Damian Michalski, James Perez, Yannes Sootes and other local skaters.
