FRAMED
wordsby nicholas brown photoby j. grant brittain
While the mainstream art world has recently reconnected with street photography and photojournalism, the value of ephemeral glimpses and spur-of-the-moment opportunities caught on film is nothing new to skateboarders. If there is one theme that unites the photographers in the Framed exhibition, organized and curated by San Francisco artist Isaac McKay Randozzi, it’s the privileged eye of the skateboarder. Such a perspective yields a variety of approaches, from the contemplative, sun-baked, high contrast visions of skateboard photog veteran J. Grant Brittain, to the street lurking, warm and optimistic candidness of brothers Ray and Dave Potes.
