Tommy May - Ollie into Crusty Bank

Another year and another trip to Barcelona to get footage for a video, however this year Tommy and Mike decided to rent an apartment for a whole month. With everyone else popping out for short stays at their apartment, at one point there were eight bodies on the bunks, sofas and floors. I went out for a long weekend to shoot a few photos so here are the skate ones and check out the non skate ones on flickr.

Yet more acts have confirmed today that they’re playing at this year’s Latitude Festival, with Squeeze, Mew and Ladyhawke confirming for the Uncut Arena. Little Boots confirming for the Sunrise Arena alongside a whole host of other bands, all listed on our dedicated Latitude 2009 page.

Looks like they have realised this over at the Berrics, Billy Marks has a quite cool little edit of crazy basketball shots around the park. Rather similar to the DC Hoops viral from a while ago.

One of the joys of having a father who learnt his trade when there was more to design than just blagging your way through a series of Photoshop tutorials, is that occasionally you get to stumble upon treats such as this ink stained 1970′s Book of Information from Monotype. Which contains information about the history of Monotype, details of the machines available, along with technical specifications, info about fonts and many conversion tables and formulae which are now mainly done for you by your computer.

After clearing out my hard drive I came across a folder holding all the old issues of Revert Magazine, the online skateboarding magazine I used to run. So I figured I should make them available to the public once again now the website has been dead for a while now. Some of the links inside the files might not work anymore, but have fun looking through the issues.

Rather than creating loads of posts about Latitude, I’ve decided to give it a dedicated page which you can bookmark and I will keep this page up to date with the latest official news from the Latitude press teams. As I have done today with some more acts recently confirmed.

There’s no real narrative to this post, I’ve just got a few sequences I’ve shot recently that I thought I’d share with you guys. So click read more to see Josh Buck, Tommy May and Ash Lever in 5fps photo fun.

I’ve been busy recently tinkering with the website under the hood, making a few changes to the way things work. These changes should hopefully make the site easier to find on search engines and also make it easier for you to keep up with articles on the site, by using our improved RSS support, be sent e-mail updates when new articles are posted and even twitter links to articles. Also a shiny new bookmark icon on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
