Travis Dove's (www.travisdove.com) images of Skatopia, an 88-acre skate park in Rutland, OH are compelling, repelling, fascinating, disturbing and enchanting all at once. Dove was the gold medalist in the Documentary category of this year's CPOY contest (individual photos of his also won other awards) and his pictures of the anarchist farm show have been published on other sites as well, such as Blueeyes Magazine (blueeyesmagazine.com). After the 18-photo slideshow on the Blueeyes site, I still want to see more shots of his. I think the photos show remarkable nerve, dedication, and desire and ability to capture a facet of society that most people are ignorant of.
