Sandy Carson is one of the first professional BMX riders to grow as an artist outside of BMX media. I first became enamored with his work through his editorials in Dig BMX, marveling at the human quality and adventurous nature of his photographs.
Sandy currently lives in Austin (but seems to have visited everywhere in the world you could imagine) and continues to progress and define contemporary photo journalism. Our good friend Kyle Emery-Peck fired off a few questions about his travels, inspirations, and how Lance Armstrong doesn’t know how to change his own flats.
No Excuses: The Morning Benders Interview
Over the last few weeks, if you haven’t at least seen the name “The Morning Benders,” you’ve probably been living under a rock. From rave reviews of their newest singles, to an amazing video performance of ‘Excuses,’ to topping the music aggregator charts, the Benders have been blowing up. Recently, we got to sit down with lead singer and songwriter of the band, Chris Chu, to talk about what they’ve been up to over the last year and a half, including recording the album, working with Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, and the air of nostalgia that’s found all over the new record, BIG ECHO. Check out the interview here.
