As an architecture student, skateboarding is a beautiful way to interact with architecture. We use space in very different ways. From grinding down the stairs, to a nose manual across a bench. These ways of commuting can really change our perspectives of a city. Also certain features in architecture really strike us (e.g. a slope on the side of a building) and so we perceive the building in a completely different way to an 'ordinary' person.

Weird spot on Bainbridge Street.
It really is a beautiful experience going around London. Traveling from Old Street to Southbank can lead you to great places. For example 2 weeks ago a friend and I stumbled across a car show and on display were all the 007 cars. Wasn't as excited as my friend though.
So here are a few B&W film pics I took while Skateboarding with my friend Nikolaos.
The fruit store next to Liverpool Station.
A wall in Camden.

I usually don't like b&w photos, but those are really good saamo, they have a very natural, unartificial feel to them and you can tell the softness/forgivingness of the film. To sum it up, "beautifully fucking illustrated"- Trainspotting.
