DC skate photographer, Mike Blabac’s first book, Blabac Photo – The Art of Skateboarding photography is available now. Blabac Photo is the first skateboarding book of its kind featuring 224 pages of iconic images in skateboarding in a beautifully designed, cloth-bound, large format hardcover book. Published by powerHouse Books, Blabac Photo takes you on a visual journey from Blabac’s humble beginnings as a kid who was intrigued by cameras to shooting some of the most legendary skateboarders of all time.

Coinciding with the release of Blabac Photo is the Blabac Azure mid, the first DC signature shoe that has been made for a non-professional team member. This shoe was designed to compliment the book and pay homage to Blabac and his work with DC over the past 10 years. Both the book and shoe are available at http://www.dcshoes.com/blabac, DC flagship stores, other select retailers.
