The New York Times Highlights Skate Photographer Allen Ying

The New York Times highlights New York skate photographer and founder of skate magazine 43 Allen Ying. The paper continues to have interest in Allen Ying and how he captures the pure rawness of skateboarding through his photography. Ying wants to show skateboarding in another light other than the commercialized competitions and heavily endorsements by energy drink companies. As Ying states, “some kids today probably don’t even know that there’s this part of it — breaking the law and skating.” Ying wants to bring it back to good old fashion skating where it's all about landing that trick and capturing it through his lens something that's organic and not staged.
