Richie Eisler and Dustin Werbeski at Rochdale skatepark in Regina, Canada. August 10, 2010.
“Dustin and I were both asked to do “One spot/One minute” for Be-Mag and decided that we would combine our efforts into one. My camera broke down, leaving us with no other option than to film with a Hero GoPro camera. This camera is pretty handy, but also pretty difficult to shoot with. There is no viewfinder and it is tricky to get steady images from such a small device. I think it worked well though. And hopefully it was worth the wait. We were asked to do this project months ago, but weren’t able to get it done until just recently (hence, the music choices). Overall, I am pretty happy with this edit. We both approached our boring old park with a fresh new perspective and had a lot of fun in the process. There is nothing better than a summer evening session with your friends. After living in different parts of the world for the last few years, it has been nice to reunite and shred our hometown again. We are heading to Spain next, so this will certainly not be the last of our projects together.” – Richie Eisler

Three characteristics that describe you best: Eccentric, open-minded, and personable.

Current set-up: Blacked out Xsjados with Mook frames.
Plans for this year: I am in the process of establishing my fine art photography career, so that’s my number one. To assist that and allow for even bigger and better plans, I am also moving to Spain with Mr. Eisler.
Things you do when you’re not blading: I don’t have a “job” at the moment, but I am always working on my photography in one form or another, while enjoying a lot of good times with friends and family.
Reasons to smile: It feels good. The reasons really are endless & everywhere, just look around with the right perspective and its almost impossible not too.
Inspirations: I find inspiration in almost everything. Bands like Explosions in the sky, artists like Andy Warhol, directors like Wes Anderson, all aside from the million other daily inspirations. Which can come from anything like a strangers wardrobe, a lunch menus design, a conversation with a friend, etc…
Why do you rollerblade: Because I can, and it’s all too good for my body and mind.
