We created La Kantera Pool Service – Iñigo Rica, Sendoa Altonaga, Manuel Olagorta, and myself, Borja Casas. We repaired the coping of the banks, changed the stones to create new spots and we put pool coping in one corner and one ramp. The ramp’s name is Carabobo. We repaired holes and painted it and now it is really good to skate!
Confusion Magazine online is starting a new photographer spotlight series called Behind the Lens which spotlights the characters that document skateboarding to fill the pages of skateboarding magazines and websites around the world. Without skate photographers, we would only have our faded memories of a session, from our own personal perspective, and would never see different diy spots, skateparks, ramps, ditches, backyard pools and street scenes around the world. The skateboarder is the hero, but it is the person behind the lens that brings this duo together to successfully capture an instant in time and place. Whether exposing with light onto film or onto megapixel memory sticks, each photographer has their own style, equipment and group of skaters they shoot with. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so check out the photography of Ricardo Muñoz Carter, and if you have time you can find out which photographers inspire him, what equipment he uses, and how he started to shoot skate photos in the first place.
Ianire is one in a million, a golden girl, a female who always skated because she loves it, a daring chica that swims against, anti fashion, for Iani, no time passes – she’s still able to win international championships with a humility worthy of praise…. Ianire is definitely special.
