My image that made it into the top 10, “Gizmo”:

Some of the ‘cool’ kids would always be telling stories how they would cut school and take the train into Manhattan to skate with these guys that at the time, were mostly mythical mall-talk skate heros to me . . . This spring, over 20 years later I was privileged enough to meet and and better yet, shoot one of the legends of my youth– Putting a face to one of the names always dropped on those friday night mall-rat, skate slash shit-talk sessions before security would break up the fun– Gizmo in Brooklyn captured with slow shutter and flash.

1/15th sec. / f3.5 / ISO 200 / 10mm / Camera and flash on a monopod held upside down to follow subject in a really tight space while standing up against a wall (flash side-mounted on an extended stroboframe) . . .
