KHVT Picture Day - August 29th

The KHVT will be featured in Born Ugly (Issue #8) if we can get them some content to work with in time. So, this is where we need your help.

EVERYONE: Show up this Sunday afternoon (August 29th) and rip it up! We will be down there taking what photos we can, but we also encourage all local photographers and skaters to come on out, skate, take photos, be merry and help us show how great the St Louis DIY scene really is.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: If you have photos from Kingshighway that you would like to contribute to this 8-page article send us your photographs (along with the your name and the name of the skater) to khvtmedia@gmail.com by September 7th. There is still time to get some shots before the deadline so grab your camera and a ripper and get down there and take some photos. This is a free mag so there will be no pay, but it would be a good portfolio builder and will help us raise awareness of Kingshighway.

SKATERS: If you have photos of yourself from Kingshighway, send us your photographs (along with the name of the photographer and your name) to khvtmedia@gmail.com by  September 7th.
