"Sometimes that involves grabbing a snack, or catching up with someone I haven’t seen in a minute. You never know what you’re going to find on the streets." -@shoton35mm

"I love to skateboard down hills or walk aimlessly taking photos. Regardless of how I get around, it’s mostly about hitting the streets and then seeing what I run into from there." -@shoton35mm
