Cardiel in Canada

I was fortunate enough to get to meet John Cardiel this past Thursday at Flatspot skateshop in Hamilton, On.

I have never met somebody as stoked, wild and wacky and happy to be alive as much as this guy.

It was an honour to meet him, I told him how his part in Sight Unseen inspired me for years, and I thanked him for the constant inspiration. Then I asked him if I could take a picture of him, to which he replied, 'Of Course!' He proceeded to stick his tongue out at me and make other funny faces, giving me a photographer's dream come true of a mini photoshoot. However, I was fumbling around with my flash and did not manage to snap a photo until he was finished making funny faces, and was smiling. Although I missed an epic shot of Cardiel having a good time, making faces, it was an honour to meet him and I still managed to get a decent picture!

All Hail Cardiel!
