In May of 2003 I was lucky to tag along with Stereo Skateboards for a skate trip to London and Paris. We did an artshow at a gallery in Shoreditch, London and then traipsed around the city for a week, moving on to Paris for another week of skating. I always find that when I travel I end up taking more photos of architecture than of people, and I almost never have photos of myself. I think it works out this way because I'm more interested in documenting the environment that experiences happened in, rather than the experiences themselves. Those are the memories that stand strong, and they rarely ever measure up when you try to take photos of them. Here's what we saw in the summer of 2003. - Matt Irving |
