WCRP: J. Grant Brittain 030

WCRP on Skateboarding

It’s impossible to talk skateboarding photography, without the name J. Grant Brittain in the conversation. Impossible. He’s given the CULTURE, too many classics. The early Del Mar days, Transworld Photo Annuals, iconic street skating. He’s done it all. And, a huge majority of that work- has covered our walls growing up. So, when donned with the task of interviewing Grant. I asked what every kid would ask, “do you think you have more photos of Tony Hawk than his parents?”
Tune in, as Grant talks his humble beginnings at Palomar College with Sonny Miller. Larry Balma, and the first issue of Transworld Skateboarding. The early days of Del Mar Skate Ranch. Digital photography vs film. Early influences Richard Avedon & Walker Evans. His new book, “Push”, and all things skateboarding!!
I’d like to thank Grant for his time. As well, as contribution to the CULTURE. One of the greatest photographers, to ever do it. Check the link below, to checkout some of his amazing work. And, get yourself a piece of skateboarding history!
