Photo by @davidalanharvey Stepping out. David Liggins in 1967 on his homemade skateboard fashioned out of plywood and roller skate wheels. David is one of 9 members of the Liggins family I photographed for my book TELL IT LIKE IT IS republished now for release by BurnBooks next Wednesday. Also part of a large size 65 print exhibition of my work for LOOK3.org opening JUNE 11 for Festival of the Photograph sponsored in part by National Geographic. . I put my heart into photographing the Liggins in 1967 and I’ve put my heart into making this book now. #tellitlikeitis #skateboarding #burnbooks#look3#norfolk#burnmagazine Link: http://bit.ly/1FJsG1E New Photography from National Geographic

“In certain yogas there are body-memory exercises. By treating your body in a certain way, by putting your body in a certain physiognomic situation, you can force it to experience in ways it normally wouldn’t. In New York, in most cities, if you can remain vertical and moving you deal with the world; this is urban power. But people who are forced to give up their verticality are prey to all kinds of dangers. But, let us imagine a person who has a job, possesses the means to remain vertical, but chooses to momentarily give up that verticality? To undergo that threat to his/her bodily/spiritual categories—that person would learn something. I did.
