SOTW 2-18-08: Jeff Phillips in Houston

SOTW 2-18-08: Jeff Phillips in Houston

It’s not always about the clarity or the technical execution. Sometimes I just like the way a shot looks, as is the case with this shot of Jeff Phillips taken in Houston. I like the blur and all the artifacts. The overall quality of the pic outweighs any faults. Photo by Sonny Robertson, 198… See the uncropped version here.

  • nweyesk8

    i love the 8ft wide plywood surfaced ‘mini’ ramp in teh background. It reminds me of the scavenged wood junk ramps we used to build down in Mississippi….

  • JEFF PHILLIPS WAS THE MAN! A TRAGIC LOSS FOR THE SKATEBOARDING WORLD! R.I. P, JEFF! YOU ARE MISSED.

  • HECTIC-IN-SEATTLE

    JEFF PHILLIPS is INSPIRATION. VIVA TEXAS!

  • Colinwalshandthewalshkateers

    You fags. Why dont you two tear yourselves away from typing in all caps for 5 seconds and get room. Hmm?

    You both could gush the night away about your hero.

    Everyone knows he ripped, now he’s RIP’d so dig his ass up and kiss it. Or write a letter to God asking for Jeff’s return.

    You could sign it “Rickless in Seattle”. ahahhahahhahahha….ha.

  • Cristiano

    Ollie ally-oop, no doubt. Amazing.
    By the way, does anyone knows what was the contest in wich Hawk was wearing green and a pink helmet and Jeff a blue shirt… i’d like to see it again… is this the legend contest? Rad is this.
