Alex Papke is a skate photographer, yes, but that’s not all. His latest artistic endeavor proves it. A recent interview with Monster Children goes on to assert that “In fact, he’s a real photographer! A guy who shoots really good photos whether some dipshit is grinding a rail or not. Who woulda thought!?”

Which brings us to “Airplane Mode” – a real, honest-to-goodness photography book that’s printed on physical paper. And there’s not a single snap of a skate sesh.

Papke describes the project as “68 pages of point and shoot film photos journaling three trips throughout Ohio, Portugal, and upstate New York during 2021. Featuring Austyn Gillette, Sammy Montano, Aaron Kim and friends.”

The collection was taken while shooting a film for Globe. After filming, the images were sent through an inkjet printer, then scanned back in, giving the project a very analog feel. Clearly, there’s a market for skateboard-less photography books because in just four days, “Airplane Mode” is already sold out.

Seeing all the other shops back then were focused on snowboards, Tony Croghan saw the opportunity to establish a shop dedicated to skateboards. He used earnings from a hotel job to start 35th North Skate Shop in Seattle.

After twenty years, 35th North has become a prominent part of the Seattle community, hosting events, art shows, premieres, and karaoke nights.

Pro skaters Matt Gottwig and Kristin Ebeling shared more stories about how the shop became an integral part of the local skate scene in this episode of “Established“.
