Back in April I began shooting for what would become a Kingdom Mag PDF profile on Kingston local ripper Dan Collins. I had met Dan once before, but over this weekend of skating and shooting I really got to see the extent of his talent and how much of a genuine, nice guy he is. This shot was captured at the end of day one. With one shot down on this spot, and a small gathering of local drunk skanks around the corner hurling verbal abuse, I somehow manged to convince Dan to lace one more trick. Quick as a flash this steezed Rocket Fish was unleashed to wrap up a very successful first day’s shoot. I captured the image using a Nikkor 50mm and lit it using two Canon 540EZs, with one off to the right set at 1/2 power and the other just off to my left at 1/4 power, both with diffusers. — Sam Cooper
