That's your takeaway?

Thanks Huss, been a fan of Ed's for a long time. First for his skating back in the 90's, then of course his photography, then his paintings as well. A successful businessman to boot. He's a inspirational dude in my book.... Do you ever run into him in your wanderings?

I have not but I’m hoping I do! It’s a shame he no longer skates, I’m still at it and quite a bit older than him!
I thought it was really refreshing that he reached out to some of his subjects to see if it was ok to publish the photos.

He is a stand up guy, and has been for a long time. I hope you do run into him!
From what I understand he does still skate a little, however he retired from professional skateboarding primarily due to series of very serious injuries back in 2012.
I love that so many skaters are artist with a photography medium, I live in Colorado Springs and I always hold out hope that I'll see Atiba or Ako just wandering around one summer visiting family lol
Jason Lee & Ed Templeton are old friends that met as teenagers, pretty cool that they both became professional skateboarders to begin with, and then both transcended from skateboarding in multiple ways including photography. Two awesome dudes.
