Mike Blabac is a skateboard photographer from Michigan. He grew up reading skate mags and paying a lot of attention to the skate scene. He moved to San Francisco when he was 20 and began shooting the local skaters. Later on in his life he moved to LA and continued his work. He worked for many major skate companies and now works for DC shoes. He is one of the most widely known skate photographers and has been there to shoot some of the craziest events that have happened in skate history.
I chose this person because he is the documentation of the skaters from SF in the 90's that pretty much defined and created skateboarding as it is today. Through my job, I got to meet him and got a signed copy of his book. Its particularly interesting to me because a lot of the people that he photographed are now people that I have met and know.
