Skateboarders have to be one of the most challenging subjects to photograph, but when it does work out, the results can be fantastic. That said, you can imagine our excitement when we realized that yesterday was Go Skateboarding Day — we couldn’t wait to see what kind of captures would ollie into our Flickr pool. Our favorite: maxedaperture‘s timely take of this statuesque skater in mid-trick, his day-glo accoutrement contrasting beautifully with the rigid granite backdrop of Freedom Plaza Metro Center.
