Description:
When I was in high school, I interned at Plan B Skateboards, which meant I was a folder of shirts and jeans and a trash recepticle attendant. I also got to cut rubies for screen prints and do the grunt art work like driving ads to transworld, mailing stuff and developing other people's photos.

When I graduated, M.T. hired me on full time and I became Carl Hyndman's offial art slave. This was 1 of 2 jobs I loved ever. I also got to work with Dave Andrecht, which was also amazing. Everything was great.

After a year of interning and a year of art slaving, I was prommoted to video photographer. I had been working on my skills with David Schlossbach and M.T. every weekend for at least 6 months. I would take some stills and shoot video and they would teach me while working on Virtual Reality.

Finally, after quite a long time I was cut loose and I got to shoot people alone. One of the first days I did this, I shot at Carlsbad High School with Jeremy Wray and some of his friends. This was one of the funnest days of my life.

About a year or so into the filming of what would end up being called Second Hand Smoke, M.T. got killed by an elderly driver. This devastated a lot of people's lives. For me, M.T. was the most important person in my life ever and I ran away from everything for awhile after this happened. For others, it was an opportunistic moment to grab at something that was not theirs.

When the final edit of Second Hand Smoke came out, I was excited to see a lot of my work alongside the work of M.T. and David Schlossbach. However, when the credits rolled, I realized that I was not credited for my shots.

The webpage above is one of the shots I was not credited for.

Recently, Plan B was restarted by some of my favorite people from the old days. I contacted them and told them how I remained silent when the video came out because I was too broken up over M.T. to deal with anything. They immediately replied that the next run of DVDs would credit me alongside M.T. This put an end to a decade of bad vibes.

I feel like a big weight was lifted off of my chest when I got the message.
