Everyone's favorite board focusing (a term for purposely destroying a skateboard out of anger), style filled skater from Fully Flared has been focusing the lens of his camera for the past few years, in between focusing skateboards that don't behave. Skateboarder by trade, Alex Olson, son of legendary skater, Steve Olson, is also quite the photographer. The images created have little to nothing to do with skateboarding, besides the fact that some of the subjects are pro skaters, filmers and photographers.

Olson who was born and raised, and still resides in Los Angeles and can be found in hot spots from Silverlake, to Hollywood, to Santa Monica with camera in hand ready to document the art that is life. He's been doing this for some time and has built up a pretty good sized portfolio over on www.noretrospective.com.
