3 December 2014 - Exposed


Today I will leave to the USA for a 2 and a half months vacation on the East Coast. For the people that know me they know how I tour with (punk) hardcore bands and go to a lot of gigs. Through this music I've made a lot of friends all over the world and I decided to visit some really good friends of mine on the East Coast. I threw my skates and my camera in my suitcase and figured I'd film a fews clips of people i know in NYC and Philly and use that one day for a montage edit.
