Interview with Pete Falkous from Static Age zines

I’m really to present a great person in the community and a friend of mine. Pete Falkous is the man behind Static Age zines, offering a variety of work from around the globe. He is one of the hard-working individuals that’s in the industry of film photography because of his love for the medium. He has a great positive attitude towards life and gets involved with great people.

Pete talks to us about his early roots of bands, zines and skateboarding that obviously made him who he is – a big kid! You will get to learn about the man behind the brand too and why he selects people to work with and why money is not the answer.
