Life with Duane

Posted on 6 Aug ’10 by Nikki Murray

For the last couple of weeks, Duane Peters has been appearing with Mike Vallely, Bill Danforth, Kristian Svitak, Cyril Jackson on the Glory Bound Tour. He hung out with us in-between the demos in Columbus and Florence. It gave us the opportunity to meet and hang out with an extraordinary guy, and allowed him the chance to relax away from being on the bus night and day.

There’s a hundred things I could write about his visit. He’s an amazing guy, exceptionally nice, 100% real and full of charisma. We only gave him a bed to sleep in. He gave us an education in humanity.

Oh, and Em wants to be a skater girl when she grows up.

    Absolutely fascinating photos. Opting for b/w was a great choice.

    Never seen or heard of electric cigarettes before.

    We have the same chopping board. :)

      I love the skating photos in b&w and I had never heard of those cigs before either. They blow out steam… I guess it’s an alternative for when you go somewhere that doesn’t allow you to smoke indoors. It charges via USB port!

      I have some video of her skating through the parking lot on Saturday. Really need to start attaching videos I’ve taken along with the photos to my posts.

    I love the photo of Duane photographing Em. No wonder you were exhausted. That was a full day.

      Indeed. I’m still tired.

    My name is Nikki Murray and I’m a mother of two who has been buried neck-deep in code since 1998. I presently work as a user experience and interface designer for a health IT company during the daylight hours. When I’m not freelancing during my off hours, I am prowling around with a camera or recklessly maneuvering needles.

    Also me:
