Reasoning behind my choice I project:
I'm a bmxer and it's no secret that no one really understands what we do and why we do it. But we don't intend to go out and 'harm or vandalise' property, it's the fact we love the sport and its progression, creativity and freedom that in our minds there are no limitations and the laws don't even cross our mind. We are more focused on the trick we are trying to pull.
Activities:
Take photos every time I go out even if they aren't of BMX or and action sports related activity.
Go out as much as possible.
interpret the techniques I've found and use them in my own work.
Take the leadership role when photographing so I can motivate the rider.
take lifestyle/behind the scenes photos
travel to interesting and different locations
