** originally posted this interview a few months ago but there were issues with the formatting of the photos/text so I took it down. I also thought it was a good time to repost it as Scott has been quietly going through some health issues. If you would like to find out more information please go to the link below. http://www.gofundme.com/x3kc92t4 I recently had the chance to touch base with the man behind many iconic skateboarding images. Former Thrasher Magazine staff photographer, skate, snowboard, and freestyle frisbee enthusiast, and all around nice guy, Scott Starr.  (All photos and captions by Scott) Danny Way, not liking his run at a Powell Zone contest and taking it out on his board. Mid '90's I forget the year right now.  How did you get into skate/action sports photography?    Well I was always an artist and in High School designed the Yearbook covers and backdrops for plays and dances, I was always very creative.

Continuing on, Vision Street Wear is next (obviously). Another company with a rotating cast of characters... not sure exactly when they disappeared from the skate scene but I don't remember seeing them around when the baggy pants and small wheels trend came in during the early 90's. But apparently they're "back" .  And I don't know if it's from his Ban This part but for some reason whenever I think of Vision Street Wear shoes I'm reminded of Ray Barbee.. More coming soon.. 

No shortage of photos of this guy. Christian Hosoi. Back in the day the big question was who would win, him or Hawk? (Judo transfer at Jeff Phillips' ramp in Texas)  One can't help but wonder what Holmes would/could do on the Mega.. Slight overkill on the vert stuff lately, I'll try to balance it out more with some street (maybe time for some more Natas?)  Stay tuned..  

Couple things. First, changed back to the old format because the new "dynamic" format was kind of irritating, sorry if you liked it. Second...I got nothing. Super stoked to be skating again. Also psyched on all these Danny Way flicks I came across. One foot McTwists? Who does that?? Oh yeah, he does.. Just threw in this Christian Hosoi photo because it's bad ass.. I would love to be able to blast on a ramp like that.. "
