Picture This…

Hey digital acquaintances

We’ve got a few things on the metaphorically plate; Green salad, grilled vegetables, photography challenge, veggie ground round and a skate contest. Dinner won’t be ready for awhile so enjoy some prune juice and snap shots while you wait. Speaking of snap shot, the photographer who successfully captures Andrew Ottosen’s new Double Cork Finger twist, pretty much has the contest in the bag.

Stop reading for second while I call our fearless leader Marc…. one more moments he’s on the other line.

Okay continue reading: While we sauté the details of the skate contest dinner. Alternative’s going to present a photo contest to hold you over (R.A.B, Kyle and Matt you can’t enter: you’re too good). Like beer pong and dating your best friend’s sister, there are guild lines (bendable rules).

No nudity (you’re really not that good looking)
No Party Shots (We’ve all been there, you’re nothing special)
No Chucking of the horns. (That includes you JT)

I know what you’re thinking: “what are we suppose to take pictures of?” Well I’m glad you asked because here are the categories: Surf, Skate, Snow or Lifestyle. All submissions must be submitted by March 31st. Depending on my birthday hangover, expect the winner announcement on the first (possibly give or take a few days). The winner “will get a prize pack with a sweater, two shirts, [I forget what Marc said but some swag from our shop] and love! You can submit your photo via our facebook event with “Pickle” at the end of the title. Everyone is allowed to submit your three best shots (or not your best, whatever).

Remember, use your light meter and get permission from your subjects.

Watch this sub-par video for inspiration.

We all know that soon all the humans are going to be eliminated by robots and all we’ll have left is a world of metal men and no unethical treatment to elephants…

Video of the Week: G.A.M.B.L.E.R.S

The best band you don’t listen to. Rolling Stone’s top 50 bands you need to see live. Pretty much incredible.

Windows for your Eyes

Summer is around the corner! Swimsuit season’s almost upon us, time for two things: the gym and sunglasses. Luckily, for you Alternative just got a bunch of new Oakley and Lifetime shades to “protect your eyes from UV rays at the beach.”
