Getting kicked out is awesome

So me and Lavanchy have been planning on shooting a switch ollie photo at Olympiad for awhile now and today we finally headed out at sunset to accomplish it. Well, shit started going wrong. As soon as we get there, we see that there is one car in the way of the runway, and two more parked right in the way of the angle I was planning on shooting. Oh well, he started warming up and I started setting up anyway. Then, once I have my flash out and I'm setting it on the tripod some lady comes out of the building and says that they have been informed to call the police if they see anybody skating. We say sweet, she goes inside, and I keep setting up and Lavanchy is warming up with fs 180s or something. I go find a good angle shooting from a constuction site with my 70-300mm and I get kicked out by some dude working there. I ask if I can just stand there and shoot photos and he replied, "No, cause you guys always fuck with our plywood." Well shit, fuck you guy, I said "I'm not gunna fuck with anything but whatever superman." I find another angle and Lavanchy starts trying the switch ollie and then some lady from ANOTHER building comes out and kicks us out. Lavanchy tries two more times and then we leave to go to our backup spot, Crestview Middle School. There's a sweet gap over some 7 stair handrail so as I'm setting up I realize that the ambient light is getting low and I could probably shoot some film on my AE-1 with 1/60th flash sync and full frame fish. WOOT, so I finished off a roll of Provia 100F thats been in that camera since mid-October and dropped it off after the sesh. Once Lavanchy died trying back 180s over the gap him, Devin, and Lysp seshed some 3 stair for fun. Here's a photo of Lavanch doing a boneless. I get my film back on wednesday, if I get anything good I'll throw it up here. I have high hopes too, so that usually is always followed with shitty photos. I <3 photography...
