Andrew White - Unseen Works 2012 - 2014

Mike Curley did moves like this tuck to manual while not lounging around skid row in Los Angeles.

Jake Petruchik firedwhip over the Toast out this downside weekend last year. I saw that pipe gap and knew something had to be shot from inside, and Jake was happy to oblige. The footage is in his Kink edit.

Whizbang Fernengel outtake from his Wee Dicks interview from issue 96. Thread the needle T-Bog in the heart of Motor City.

Corey with a switch 3 down the big blocks at Metro Center.

Being able to say that I've shot with Ruben always takes me aback. Here's my favorite from the Texas Fly trip. And I can't argue with him, it makes way more sense to say 'put a shit' rather than 'take a shit.'

Nathan has been consistently getting clips on this rail hop setup his entire career. It's cool to see how he can keep coming back and stepping up on the same spot as his skills progress. Tooth to pop-over.

Alex with a wall to wall, or however you would caption this. More trick tailoring to fit a spot by the new dad.

Corey adding his stamp to the Big 4 in Atlanta.

Mike Curley stretching a can-can over this road gap. The little shit told me to shoot it fish. Maybe he was right...

Stefan Lantschner on an iconic Austin spot while on a Fly trip. It took a lot of goes to get in to it just right, but ended up working out for him.

Tyler Fernengel and his shit-eating grin after the move that scored him the cover to issue 96. The security guard just stood and watched Tyler knowing there was nothing to stop the inevitable.

Christian Rigal left his mark on this burly ledge spot. There's no sessioning this guy.

KP owned this hip all session during the Fly Texas trip. He also prefers you call espresso spre.

Mikey Tyra got to experience LA for the first half of the summer, and hit up most of the spots within pedaling distance from the city center. Two half cranks then pop into the bank.

Eric Lichtenberger with a one and done move on the Austin East Side where Stew Johnson sits back and watches his home value slowly promise a normal retirement.

KP locking in to a pedal grind back on the Fly Texas trip. He could have done this all day.

Dak casually floated a 3 over this trash can in Budapest while on the Down the Middle trip.

Alex Magallan gapping both rails with no backside in sight.

Nathan in the studio* while avoiding the cold outside. *Corey's garage.

Hunter Wright and Kyle Wedd convey BMX in one image.

Alex has been sweating this move for years. There's rickety tiles on the runup, and it's a government building. One Sunday we finally teamed up to get the photo.

Erik Elstran riding the snake.

Alex Magallan with a simple trick on a simple spot making something out of nothing.

Kyle Wedd hippie hop in cowtown.

Old outtake from Corey's Duo build a ledge promo. Everything in sight is now the first floor of a snooty condo where 'you know, it's kind of rough around here but there's charm.' Ugh.

Mike Saavedra outtake from his interview from Blood, Sweat, and Trails issue 98. Old Riverside staple spot.

Alex with a weird transition and a simple stylish trick. He kept trying to get it cranked high enough, when the rain started to come. I shouted he has 3 more goes before I dash to chuck cameras and flashes under the container cover. He got it just in time.

Print being the fickle fucker it is, images have the ability to fall through the cracks quite easily. In a normal world-and one which existed in the near past- a stockpile of photos from a trip would get efficiently divvied between editorial and advertising use with little leftover. And with the one-off photos that get shot either at home or with riders jumping on board a trip who aren’t included in the article, the opportunity to acquire a misfit photo is even greater. With the constant flux of pages printed and companies running and pulling adverts, a couple years ago my cache of available photos began to swing out of balance and never quite recovered.

A great benefit of the web is that it can cater to such a dilemma. What wouldn’t find a home in print now can easily be curated into a gallery.

Earlier this year, I began to make selects on what I wanted to show. It was at this time that we regained DIG and left print behind, and decided to not only do a brand new site, but to build it from the ground up which would take considerably longer than a generic turn-key. My images would have to wait a few more months. Given that some at the time were nearly two years old, waiting a bit longer wasn’t so much an issue. A true irony that photos would have to wait even longer for a digital publishing.

The following photos are no longer wanted living on my desktop.
