Gwangju Skateboarding

By William Urbanski

Skateboarding and photography go hand in hand. In fact, it is hard to conceptualize skateboarding as it exists today independent of the crucial role good old-fashion picture takin’ plays. Photography in many ways mirrors skateboarding itself: an activity undertaken not with an end goal in mind, but for its own good.

It is always nice to see the local skateboard scene documented and hopefully these photos will let you in on a little secret: Gwangju is a fantastic city for skateboarding.
