We’ll Need Three Cabs For All These Guys

*We’ll Need Three Cabs For all These Guys is a collaborative photo-zine on a skateboarding / friends trip to the big apple edited by Handshake and sponsored by Lakajade. It is a story told from many points of view about this experience. In it you can find photographs and artwork by Alex Marco, Borja Gomez, Julio Mas Parra, Ruben Montesinos, Juan Gonzalez and Raul Roig. 
The name of the fanzine is given as a joke. The trip started being planned by a small group of friends, but thanks to the low cost companies it ended up bringing together a group of fifteen people. 

Thank You

THANK YOU is a photo-zine about New York city by Rubén Montesinos. 
While exploring NY, Rubén became a sort of journalist, trying to capture the unique essence of the city. This publication explores the different faces of the multicultural metropolis, through various concepts as religion, culture, everyday life, race, patriotism or appropriationism. The narration of the project flows between it’s pages and different attached postcards, working as an archive. Those extra images where things that interfered and changed in some way his idea about the city. At the end, THANK YOU is the product of a personal experience, a view of the city with a mix of the objetivity of some that doesn’t belong to this place, with the subjectivity of a fascinated tourist.

Everything’s Wrong But In The Right Place

Everything’s Wrong But In The Right Place is the result of a constant questioning to everything. And this time, we found our answers in skateboarding. 
This zine is a photography publication that wants to look beyond and deeply into youth and skateboarding culture, in a contemporary way. It’s self published and distributed by Handshake. But this could have never happened without our contributors, so we would like to thank them for the endless love they have shown.
