Steve IrwinFor most people paying attention to newspaper headlines, this is old news. However belated, Steve Irwin deserves an ASN acknowledgement for his life’s environmental crusade. Using over-the-top slapstick wide-eyed physicality, the Crocodile Hunter got cable viewers young and old to listen to him talk about the challenges threatening wildlife around the world. He explained the positive role that snakes play in our ecosystem. He got people thinking about the shrinking habitat of jungle animals and helped increase pressure on endangered species traffickers. All the while making us laugh and think. G’bye, mate.

Check out this cool panoramic photo Chris shot at Mabel Davis.

I was in Kingwood over the weekend and visited their 4-year-old prefab skatepark. I shot these photos of the modular skatepark and provided some description of the type of skatepark that gets built when a city just doesn’t do its research.
