[41/100] Auttiesh

 

We stopped by the skate park today to watch for awhile and I found that I could not resist grabbing my camera for a few shots.

 

I struck up a conversation with Auttiesh. He grew up in Grand Rapids and has been skating for 17 years, though he lamented that he only gets out to skate now a time or two a week because he has a wife and family. Auttiesh has a skating apparel company called Gold Coast (he is wearing one of the shirts).

 

Auttiesh agreed to a portrait for the 100 Strangers series and I also took a few of him skating (another shot is in the comments below).

 

This is #41 in my 100 Strangers Project. For more information about the 100 Strangers Project, please see the eponymous Flickr group: www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/
