“Party in the Back is a portrait of a distinctly West Coast vibescape — there’s a dusky Pacific feel to these images of skaters hopping chain-link gates, of keep-out signs and watchful dogs, of the sensual curve of empty pools. There are skaters, faces frozen in profound focus or pure joy, defying gravity, riding the sides, rising above the edges. Razo captures the thrill of making a place yours for a time and the melancholy of letting it go." - Boston Globe
