Let's Get High

A few weeks ago, daredevils Vadim Makharov and Ritaliy Raskalov climbed the second largest building in the world. They planned their escapade to coincide with the Chinese new year, so that fewer people would be around and security would be lax. Sneaking into the building, which is still under construction, they climbed 120 stories on foot. At they top, they slept and waited for good weather. Then they clambered out to the very end of the crane that sits on the roof, looked down at the world below, and got ridiculously high on life.

The Art Of Taboo

Beautiful interpretation of human form, earth, and sexuality through the photography of Chinese provocateur Ren Hang. Found out about Ren through a great piece Vice Japan did on him. After checking his website for further reference I was thoroughly pleased with the playful maturity his work evoked. There's something very fresh about it. Great stuff!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hanging With Billy Valdes

Billy Valdes has Los Angeles pedigree. He knows the city as well anyone and still holds down a stylistic line on the skateboard with ease. Some things never change. Here are some film images captured by Innocnts from various hangs with Billy in and around the Silver Lake area. Stay tuned for an upcoming Innocnts video short with Billy and long time friend Paulo Diaz. Coming soon enough.

Arto Saari Photography

Many are familiar with Arto Saari for his exploits in front of the camera as a professional skateboarder. However, as of late Arto has been honing his skills behind the camera with some really tasteful photographic perspectives. As an insider, Arto's acceptance within various skateboard circles imbues his imagery with a sense of familiarity that translates into authenticity and feeling. Both from his subject's standpoint as well his own. Look forward to seeing more great work from Arto as he continues his photographic pursuits.

Frances Bean Cobain

Frances Bean Cobain is the 20 year old daughter of rockers Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. These images were taken by renowned fashion photographer Hedi Slimane from a fairly recent shoot with Frances. Now I know what an angel looks like.
