Film

Put together this trailer for the short film I'm putting together from the footage I shot at Speedweek hanging with the Lowbrow Customs guys.

Never Underestimate the Handlebar

You'd be amazed at the level of patience and attention it takes to be the custodian of such a ridiculous facial statement. It has become it's own mythical entity and I am merely the humble guardian. I can attest to the magical powers it holds but am still just a young apprentice with much to learn in the ways of the mustache. It's not for everyone but I do recommend it at least once in your life. Be prepared as it also requires great patience and love from those around you as well. They will not be spared from possible public embarrassment being seen in public with you so it takes a community to raise a great 'stache.

It's a journey of discovery and I am only just beginning.

Vintage International Fire Truck

Vintage International Fire Truck that I shot for Kindig's shop.

Bronco

Shot this Bronco that Kindig's shop just finished up and I think these came out pretty cool.

Road Trip

Slide show of pics from the most recent road trip.

Framed Art

I have had these two Dwayne Vance prints for a while now and just got them back from framing. I took these prints to Signed & Numbered which is located just south of the Blue Plate Diner. Andy Chase who is a fine local artist helped me out and did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Their service is fantastic and their prices are the best I've found anywhere and they have tons of great prints from local artists. I suggest you check them out and help support local art and business.

Friday Photo

Yes it is 3:30 in the AM. Here's a photo from a few summers ago that was taken during one of our many adventures through our great state.

Sheep in wolf's clothing

Custom built Fiat 5oo that was designed to be a Ferrari tribute. Concept is based on the Disney movie Cars. The character Lugi who works in the tire shop and dreams of being a Ferrari. This car was sprayed with actual Ferrari red paint, has Ferrari center caps on the wheels and custom tan leather interior. I'm pretty sure this is the nicest vintage Fiat 500 on the planet. I shot these photos for the shop that built the car.





I was also playing around with this version to give a little background color to make the red pop. Not sure if I like it more or less. Let me know which you prefer.

Great commercial. In my opinion one of the best in a long time. Great song ("how you like me now, by The Heavy"), great characters. Even though I not in the market for a Kia Sorento this commercial gets me excited for summer.

Preview

From tonight's photo shoot.

Source Interlink Cover!!

Just found out tonight that back in August the photos I shot of the STS Corvette ended up on the cover of Vette Magazine. It's been my long time photo goal to have a cover on one of Source Interlink's publications. Source Interlink Media is the largest Automotive publisher in the world and home to the most well known auto magazines. So this was very unexpected and kind of a big deal for me. I just ordered up a few back issues so I'll post up the scans when they arrive.

Here's a link to the online article: http://www.vetteweb.com/features/vemp_0908_chevrolet_sts_zr7_corvette/index.html

Chris & Jillian

Good news...I'm not color blind

So I got that going for me. It's good to know I'm not color blind since I'm a photographer and graphic designer so it's somewhat important. Take the test and make sure you're not color blind.

Suzuki Photoshoot

The Suzuki is up for auction so I did a little photo shoot this afternoon out in the cold and damp. Nothing real special but hopefully enough to help it sell faster.

Essex

Took a few artsy shots of Chris' Essex tonight. I should have a few more to post in the next few days. I'm too tired to work on any more right now.

Chloe

James & Karen asked me to take some photos of Chloe for her graduation pictures instead of the cheesy school offered sort. We got lucky and were able to squeeze in a quick shoot just days before the first snow fell from the skies. I'm pretty ok with how these turned out considering they were just in the backyard.

GJ's XS650

After several failed attempts to shoot GJ's Yamaha XS650, everything came together tonight so we could finally get it done. The secret location worked out perfectly and it was smooth sailing all the way. Here's the final first image with more to come later as I have time to work on them.

2,050 Miles

My good friends Jerry, Adam, Larry and Joe traveled 2,050 miles to Bonneville this year, all the way from Lewiston Ohio. That's some real dedication. Not only did they drive that far, they did it in a '34 Ford Coupe and a scratch built '32 Chevy Roadster. It was great to see these guys again. Here's a couple pics of Jerry's '34 Coupe. They started their journey back home early this morning so I wish them best.

'33 Ford

Here's another photo project I've been working on for my buddy Chris. This is a 1933 Ford Tudor sedan that he converted into a Vicky. There are many many hours of metal work in this car. Nothing looks better than bare steel.
