prints for sale

I've been making mad prints in my darkroom and I figured I'd try to sell some.

I don't like this one of Tyler but maybe someone will. It expresses a punk teenagers inner feelings.. 10 dollars.

This one expresses teenage love. I don't think I'd sell this one unless someone wants it.

These are older photos I took. They are both smaller than the rest. 10 dollars each.

This is my friend Ian doing a backflip off a rope swing. It's 20 dollars.

These two are a set and the only ones I'm really firm on a price for. 50 dollars for both.

There are a lot of ones of Bubba and Jen that aren't perfect so that makes them even punker. I will sell them for 10 each.

These were all printed in my darkroom and they all had a lot of work put into them (even the bad ones). They weren't just digital photos I did sweet photoshop "enhancements" to and then printed out of a printer.

If you're interested in anything or you can think of cool pictures I took that you would buy if I printed them let me know. Contact me at maxzahradnik@gmail.com or on facebook.

Also..

We were walking in Philly and I saw this.

How cute!

Make yourself at home

I try to make myself at home wherever I go...

As shown by the snacks and soda.

I have no words.


Where I'll be for the next few days.

wake up

Trying to get in all I can before it's super cold!

Messing around before I took a sequence of Bubba.

Pat trying to figure out the laziest way to film.

We went all the way to the top! It was awesome.


Commeh had an art show at Homebase.

He said it was just a man's face, but I know he was sculpting this guy..







He makes his own mate bowls and his own mate. Which to us stupid Americans seems like really bitter gross tea at first, but after a few tries it grows on you.

Most of this stuff will be at Homebase over the next month and most of it is priced to move.

Me and Jen stumbled upon kitty city. This black cat was our guide.



Cats popping out from everywhere.

The gray one got roughed up some time recently and the orange one wouldn't let him get too close to us. He was very protective.

The orange one blocking him from us.

Our handsome guide.


Someone put a lot of time into this.

Poor guy.

I showed this feral cat the wonder of chasing string so when I left I made him a toy and hung it from the tree for him to enjoy.

fall?

I feel weird lately. I swear fall gets shorter and shorter each year. I still enjoyed the time in fall where it wasn't raining. School is getting more intense, but right on time for daylight savings. How convient. Here's some pictures of hanging out indoors.

"I am a God"


Resting.


This makes me feel a bit better.

That's actually a lot more candy than it looks.

Buying these also makes me feel better.

This is brilliant.

Po hooked me up with a bag of his old anime stuff.

All of it was cool, but the hot items were the bootleg Street Fighter 2 anime movie, and the Japanese Legend of the Mystical Ninja.

Oh! And the little gundam.

Also earlier in the week my dad called me and told me that he had old videogame stuff that he found in the basement. As you can see most of the games I had were pretty choice.

Except Gex and Rampage. X-Com is one of the best games to ever exist, and the sword and shield were made by my grandpa so I could pretend to be Link. Too bad I ruined the shield with markers.

Bangers! (ignore Fighter's Destiny and Legend of the River King.)

Never ending.

I saw this at school. I think it's supposed to be shin chan.

All joking aside I walked into the computer lab to see Shiner looking at pictures of food. Not so secret fatty!

This guy was giving blood. Look at his 75 pound backpack.

Rainy weeks lead me to boredom. Re did my plexiglass on my T5 so the button layout is exactly the same as the madcatz sticks. I also heavily edited some artwork I found. Now I just have to decide on what color buttons/balltop to get.

Awaiting some love.

BM2k

BM2k starring Andy Vasquez, Erik Smith, Issac Southard, Joe Nicolello, and others.

In 9th grade I met Erik Smith skating at Hollywood Video in the eastside of Allentown. He was pretty cool and we went skating a few times, but then he told me he was having a video coming out and eventually towards the end of 9th grade (or maybe it was the beginning of 10th grade?) I got a copy. Andy V starts it off with a pretty sick part but you can tell that this was a different phase in his life by the trick selection, loading dock/steps, and the Ludacris song. Although his trick selection is a lot different than nowadays you can see his inner anti hero when he does a boardslide transfer on a orange barrier which I still think is nuts. Although he's probably embarassed by this footage I think awesome. Erik Smith skates to Reggie and the Full Effect, has a badonkadonk, and does a fs halfcab flip down a gap which is probably the last time anyone in the area did that trick besides on flat, also his first line is pretty choice. The next part is a bunch of kids I've seen at Homebase or at Liberty that I never really got to know, but Jack Kroemer's footage was awesome. Issac Southard is another kid that I never met, but his footage is cool and he could bs nosegrind better when he was 15 than I ever will. Joe Nicolello has the last part and it's pretty nuts, he was ahead of the curve on tight acid wash jeans and does my favorite bs shove it ever caught on film. Alot of his footage was nuts back then but honestly it still holds up, the switch ollie down liberty, and of course the nollie bs 180 down Dunnegan. I'm not really sure where Joe is or what he does, but I know if we went to Dunnegan he could probably nollie bs 180 it in under 7 tries.

I thought this video was cool back in the day because it's quick, unlike the Clear Out (the Bishop video). While Clear Out was like 45 minutes long, I think the last part is over around the 13 minute mark in Bm2k, which honestly is how videos should be.

Tile played and I thought I was taking pictures of them, but it just looks like a a crowd of people watching a fucked up movie.

Brendan thought he was too old for Halloween.

You know you're bound for a good time when you walk into a basement and are greeted with this.

Jungle rumble.

Bah kaw!

New levels of stardom.

Weirdest shit I seen all night.


Jen's pumpkin looks better now after a week.

Nice 80's costume?


So glad Jen took a pic of this.









The downhill jam was cool but there should have been more obstacles like oil slicks and barriers.




Saved it.

Lost it.




Tyler mastered the corner.

The artsy girl.


Two freaks of nature.



Kyle clenched the title with a varial heel. Yeah brother.

I don't know why so many people did sleeveless shirts over sleeved ones. What's the point.

Neff.

This was a land.










Segretto pushing Davontae.

You're like 21 dude.

Love this outfit, really speaks to me.

This one.. not so much.


Huck jam.

Abe getting stinky.




Kids lined up.

Like sorry.


Mike's shirt overloaded my sensors.

If you didn't get my costume then skip to about 3:40










After everything we went to a chinese buffet.


Jen filled up all her plates with nothing besides meat.
