America. The Promise Land

Coming from Australia, I’ve only been to the states once and it was only for 2 weeks. America was always a dream mission growing up watching VG’s religiously. I still know all the song words from every Videogroove up to VG 12. I’ve also been reading magazines since Daily Bread No.1. Leaving the UK and heading home has given me the opportunity to fly through America and spend some time doing what i love, traveling, skating and shooting photos.

So starting Feb 12th, i will be doing just that. Starting in Texas and ending in LA I’m looking at making this time productive and seeing such a great country. Meeting up with friends and enjoying everything America has to offer. Personally, i love skateparks so shooting Pro skaters hitting hammers is ok for me cause I’ll just beĀ glad to be there and capture the moment. Following in the foot steps of nomads such as Jeremy Stephenson, Adam Kola and Phillip Forstner. I’ll be attending Bittercold Showdown in Detroit, and hopefully BarnBurner in Seattle. If you see me there, come say hi, I’m always interested in meeting new people. Here’s a funny map i made up of my trip. Unfortunately i won’t get time to see anymore than i have planned cause i need to go home to start my real life again but i hope to be back for a few more of these trips in the coming years. I’ll also be updating my blog along the way to hopefully inspire other travelers to do the same.

    Hi Dale, i’m Saul SAvarino from Switzerland.
    I’m an art curator for the foundation of culture named “La Fabbrica” in Losone, Switzerland.
    I’d like to organized an “narrative exposition” about in line skating. Of course, i’m a rollerbladers too.
    I’d like to ask you if you want to partecipate to a collective exposition about ILS, with your photos, that i think is very cool!
    Please write me at saulsavarino@gmail.com or libbyandrogers@gmail.com , then we can talk directly about details (dimensions of photos, copyright, printings…).
    The last email is the eaddress of the Libby & Rogers Art Curators, the studio of curators where i’m working.

    I hope you will expose at our gallery!
    Thank you,
    best Regards,
    Saul Savarino
