Video of the day: skateboarding in South Asia

Visualtraveling – ‘Holy Cow’ from Patrik Wallner on Vimeo.

Visualtraveling created this ten minute film piece titled ‘Holy Cow’ with footage from travels centered around skateboarding in South Asia. The documented journey took place over the course of a month. This video features, primarily, awesome shots of skateboarders boarding in cool places, doing neat things with their skateboards–the kinds of things I most certainly do not know how to do. The video also features non-skateboarding things. Stunning landscape shots, interesting architecture, bright colors, unique cars and other vehicles, and crowds of spectators complete this ‘skateboarding’ video which, like so many skateboarding videos, is equally functional as a travel video.

Photos of Vietnam by Brian Kelley

Some beautiful photos of Vietnam recently caught my eye. Taken by Brian Kelley, these shots relay to viewers the journey he and nine other skateboarders were on when they traveled through Vietnam (as well as Myanmar, Cambodia, and Thailand) as a part of a project called Visual Traveling.

The Vietnam series, which can be found on Brian Kelley’s website, contains photos that are each examples of a thousand words being crammed into a single still. Motorcycles, lush landscape, small children, and rippling water come together in this short but sweet series to convey this Vietnam experience to anyone with interested eyes. These photos are expertly done and, on top of that, they have, effectively, fostered my already-growing desire to visit this gorgeous country.
