Sk8in on the moon

Skin in Paradise

By: Tatum

I was at Etnies sk8park riding the new black clover pool ( It’s Killer) and I noticed a father and son duo having some big fun Sk8ing together. I struck up a conversation with the dad, Michael Ray and it turns out he’s a killer pro photographer that dose weddings and stuff. He said he shoots his son, Kenny Ray sk8ing a lot but wanted to get into some more hard core sk8 photos. So I rounded him and the kid up that next week end for a session at Etnies and the results were Sic wicked,

history in the making, Culture Art. This guy is a natural Sk8 PhoDograffer, That paints with his camera using colors like they come out of a can. He’s not out of the box he crushes it. What’s cool about shooting with M Ray is his lack of technical sk8 knowledge like the sweet part of the trick or typical sk8 mag angles witch give his shooting approach no taboo’s. There is no bad angel, bad light, bad sk8er or wrong way for M Ray he has too much fun shooting to even worry about it much. He shoots his way and some how it works out Way Killer.

M Ray’s Son, Kenny is a typical Rad Cali Down South American Sk8er boy That’s very lucky to have such a cool Sk8er Dad that hauls his but around to the parks. From what I can tell there’s nothing much else M Ray would rather be doing than rollin with his kid, Any where. Mom says good grades good sk8 bad grades on sk8 so they do the after school book slam together in the quest for knowledge, cement and coaping. I’ve been around sk8 photography for almost 40 years and have never seen as much raw photo talent as M Ray has in his trigger finger. Shoot on M Ray shoot on. JT
