Benji broke his shit!

 So we were skating this spot, and Next Up's own Benji Perez tried a f/s tailslide warming up....

 And then this happened.

 It looked extremely painful, but Benji was calm as hell.

I'm pretty sure I'd be screaming and freaking out at this point, but Benji said calmly, "Ahh, it burns." Then he called his brother, and left, hopefully to go to a hospital to have his thumb straighten out. 

Stay up Benji! Next Up needs you!

People....

...are always fun to photograph.

Whether you are young or old,

black or white,

male or female,

native or foreign,

dead or alive,

in good times,

bad times,

at home,

or on the road,

no matter who what or where, you are a person. And that alone makes you worthy of a portrait.
