Truman Stephanie commented on the post, InfoGraphic….. A Funnier Version! , on the site UrbIndian Hip-Hop 10 years, 7 months ago

For some reason these stats don’t surprise me. Especially about the content being related to sex. It would be nice to see the content change a little to be where they relate more to the listeners but then Hip-Hop and R&B would be what they are.

It wasn't just the locals that were part of fundraising. Spitfire, a huge brand of wheels in the skateboarding industry created wheels that were specifically made to help benefit Bordertown. Spitfire did the same thing to help out with the fundraising for the Brooklyn Banks that sits just under the Brooklyn Bridge. This legendary skate spot […]

It was't just the skaters that were backing Bordertown skatepark. It was also Senator Barbara Boxer. Below is a letter that Boxer wrote to a member of Caltrans in 2005 about Bordertown Skatepark.

This spot is a non profit park because no one in Oakland has the money for a new skatepark that will cost a large amount of money. So Matlock and Miorana pulled together their own money and started this park. They spent 3,000 on building permits and 700 on zoning. They also has blueprints drawn up […]

Truman Stephanie wrote a new post, Media Attention, on the site Bay Area's Bordertown 10 years, 8 months ago

People from all over that know of Bordertown come to skate. Even professional skaters come and skate where I-580 hits the ground below. To some […]

I really like how you composed this. It’s like I’m looking through the bottom of the Eiffel Tower as a tunnel. I really like this piece and you really get me wanting to explore the shift/tilt photography. Amazing job!

I have never heard of tilt/shift photography and I can’t wait to see more. Photography is something that I loved to do during high school and the fact that this is your topic is AMAZING!! I can’t wait to see more.

I really like the angle that you took with street art. I can’t wait to see this develop as the class goes on.
