Gabriel Engelke - Top 5

We asked Carhartt WIP rider Gabriel Engelke to show us his favorite 5 photos. It's always a hard decision to pick only 5 photos out of the library, but the following 5 are Gabeeb's choice. Thanks a lot Gabriel!

Gabriel:

Beach - this photo was taken on one of the strangest days on an Antiz tour  - i woke up early sleeping just with my sleeping bag in a abandonated park in the outskirts of the city Haag in Holland, we where supposed to sleep in a skate park there but we couldnt find it so we decided to jump a wall that looked like it was not supposed to be jumped and ended up inside a mystic place. anyway the day before i decided to buy myself some magic shrooms, im not the type that goes bananas with drugs but ive always wanted to try some so whats not better than a sunny beautiful morning in this park. i sat down all alone in a big field with flowers and trees surrounding it and had my special breakfast with some water. From this moment until i shoot this picture i had an amazing day tripping on absolutely everything.

Gabriel:

Trainstation - i was on my way to France to visit my girlfriends family in Nantes and this leak of water that had happened in the National theater train station was just begging to get photographed. I remember this day very well bcs just an hour later i was entering the flight buss i heard a huge explosion and i thought that it was big truck that crashed in to something bcs it was soo powerfull that i could feel the shock wave, just a moment later i heard on the radio news that a big bomb exploded in the center of Oslo and later that day a 96 teenagers got shoot by the same man that arrange the bomb attentat. it was a wery sad and strange day and i feel that this photo has something of that touch?

 

Gabriel:

Sculpture - This was during a tour with Antiz from Barcelona to Madrid and this Portrait of Pepe the new kid on Antiz was taken in Zaragoza on a way too hot day for skating.

Gabriel:
