Ed Templeton: A Professional Skateboarder Turns Artist

My photography has not changed very much over the years. I’ve been resisting technology and sticking to the same thing. The biggest change for me would be adding a 28mm lens into the mix because I’ve been mostly a straight black and white 50 mm lens photographer since the beginning. That’s the classic street setup. I was just out today shooting with a 50mm with no filters, no bells and whistles, no frills — just a straight Leica M6, 50mm lens, and black-and-white film, Tri-X. I hope they keep making it!
