ジミー・チンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ジミー・チンInstagram)「Shooting with the late great @deanpotter in 2003 just after he’d established Concepcion. At the time, it was one of the hardest and certainly most striking crack climbs in the desert. Dean was a good friend. We shot together a lot over the years. It was always an adventure. He pushed me to the brink more than a few times. He had high expectations of himself and high expectations of the people around him. He can be credited w my obsessive prep on high angle shoots as I was terrified of messing him up or slowing him down on the wall. Shooting with him was good training for life. Dean was also intensely creative and such a visionary that some of the things he pioneered are now their own specialized sports. Complex and sometimes misunderstood, he could be soft spoken one moment and become a gladiator the next. He could also be extremely mischievous, loved a good laugh (sometimes at your expense,) and always seemed to push the boundaries personally, physically, mentally. It was non stop. There was an urgency to his life that was hard to keep up with. I would listen to him after what would be a casual day for him, knowing it would be a pinnacle day in most climbers’ careers. I looked up to him a lot. I would say live like Dean but none of us would survive a day trying. Miss ya bud. Photo 1 by @jimhurst」11月19日 1時03分
