Her stuff is so good...Real soft and intimate shots. Hope she doesn't mind that I stole her photos for this. I guess she likes to do handstands too....

I picked up Issue Five today and it's real nice. It's not crazy expensive at $28 (this ones dated 2008 so I don't think I'd need to buy new issues very often) but I don't mind paying that seeing as it comes in a little sewn paper bag and it's printed on super thick stock. Plus its Australian. Kinda your typical 'street art/skate/urban' magazine but its got a bunch of real good interviews in it which I really liked. I hate it when publishers charge heaps for just photo issues...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnpRCobJv8I/AAAAAAAAAFU/3d3vxsnec5o/s1600-h/king.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnpRCobJv8I/AAAAAAAAAFU/3d3vxsnec5o/s400/king.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366691011618258882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnpRC4sWXjI/AAAAAAAAAFc/SYVqelX6ffo/s1600-h/brown.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnpRC4sWXjI/AAAAAAAAAFc/SYVqelX6ffo/s400/brown.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366691015985356338" /></a><br /><br />www.kingbrownmag.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5159525245268677450-6629675117496636004?l=effortdigitalbmxmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ben McPhersonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159525245268677450.post-46044771871156805992009-08-05T11:12:00.002+09:302009-08-05T11:14:08.109+09:30<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/0d3d717d9c5f14703c70b9138b7243bec8da8e3c_m.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://img.ffffound.com/static-data/assets/6/0d3d717d9c5f14703c70b9138b7243bec8da8e3c_m.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5159525245268677450-4604477187115680599?l=effortdigitalbmxmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ben McPhersonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159525245268677450.post-82188494299639247082009-08-04T22:51:00.001+09:302009-08-04T22:53:55.390+09:30<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thestrangeattractor.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ghostly_discovery_01.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 315px;" src="http://thestrangeattractor.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ghostly_discovery_01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Im yet to try this out but it seems kinda cool.

The branding of the stuff is what really grabbed my attention in the first place, but Imagine how stoked you would be if your parents bought you a can of light speed for your birthday when you were five years old?

Basically, I stuffed up. The past two issues have been fine as far as traffic goes, but thanks to the support of a bunch of great people issue three had more views than the first two combined...in less than a week. Unfortunately however, this also resulted in the site blowing straight though my bandwidth limit and costing me a fair bit. Everything is cool though, I'm still stoked on Effort and issue four is definitely in the works. Just gotta sort some stuff out before I can upload the old issues. Thanks again for everyone thats checked out Effort over the past year, and thanks again to everyone thats posted the new issues on their site. I'll try and get everything online as soon as possible - Ben.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5159525245268677450-2068125334395908282?l=effortdigitalbmxmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ben McPhersonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159525245268677450.post-66555074440871211302009-08-03T10:58:00.000+09:302009-08-03T21:03:32.091+09:30<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.littleblackbike.com.au/sites/default/files/images/ryan_k_tight_ridge.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 530px; height: 352px;"src="http://www.littleblackbike.com.au/sites/default/files/images/ryan_k_tight_ridge.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Ryan Knight<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnY-nHeL5sI/AAAAAAAAAFE/w__ZFt_gCjE/s1600-h/DSC_4604.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnY-nHeL5sI/AAAAAAAAAFE/w__ZFt_gCjE/s400/DSC_4604.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365544847800002242" /></a><br />Mike Moore<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnY-m3eQKNI/AAAAAAAAAE8/-T7gbFnL-Wk/s1600-h/DSC_4597.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d9ky-mDqyXI/SnY-m3eQKNI/AAAAAAAAAE8/-T7gbFnL-Wk/s400/DSC_4597.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365544843505314002" /></a><br />Haydn Banks<br /><br /><br />A ton of guys rode the Ridge bowls on Saturday, Ryan Knight (who's got an interview in the current FP) had just built his new Barcode and seemed stoked.
