To begin …
1) 📷 Skateboarding photos of Clarence Klingebeil
My friend and bandmate Betty Wiles recently met Clarence Klingebeil, a photographer with an astonishing eye for light. Over at his web site he hosts images of his longtime “Skate Homies” project, which consists of gorgeously contrast-y black-and-white photos of skateboarders. (One of them is above.)
Klingebeil has a pretty remarkable story — after surviving cancer, he went into cardiac arrest, and upon recovering from that, he found he had a blood clot in his right arm so perilous the entire arm needed amputation. Despite losing his dominant arm, and wrestling with serious and ongoing phantom-pain, he’s returned to doing remarkable photography.
