Ryan McGinley once related skateboarding to photography in the way that both pursuits can make something out of nothing. He also hates skate art, and the blown-out-of-proportions reality of skateboarding and consumerism. Toby Malonie is a little like this. He prefers the 80s, when skateboarding was fresh; zinesters were still making zines in their bedrooms surrounded by a million posters and demo tapes.
