Random Snap: True <3′s.

When we met the owner of Wek’Fest Texas’ Best of Show winner, Thomas Pinai, I thought his little boy Kai, was rather cute as he stood next to his daddy’s slammed GS. I asked if it were okay if our photographer Khiem could take a shot next to his car, and he agreed. Too bad Kai himself was rather bashful around our lenses, he would run back to mommy and daddy even after they tried tricking him multiple times with some delicious treats. We never did get “the shot” that I wanted, but what Khiem managed to get was even better than what I had planned. He caught a quick snap of Kai looking at rims as big as he was with papa Pinai right behind him, squatting down to both their levels.

Say hai to kai

The kid moved too fast for Khiem! He should look into doing Track and Field

This is what they call the "money shot"

Thomas sent me this picture of the picture he had made and framed which now sits right where it should be, in their home. This is pretty significant to me as I’ve seen many car tuners that are sometimes made to make the tough choice of giving up their cars for their families (as it should be), but in this situation, at least two loves of Thomas’ life are now captured in one epic picture.

This makes me all warm and tingly inside.

You’ll be seeing more of this car soon, as well as little Kai!

We just made it home from a wild night of partying after Wek’Fest was over in Ft. Worth and waking up at the buttcrack of dawn to do a shoot in downtown Ft. Worth. After grabbing one last bite at In-N-Out and stopping at Buc-ees, we’re back at our homes and sorting through our pictures. I alone narrowed down 300 photos of the 800 I shot from this past weekend, and that’s not including our other shooters. Trust me when I say we have all angles covered from this weekend, and we plan to be the authority on event coverage in Texas.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of the fans that came up to either me or the Mayday tent and gave us so many compliments on how you guys love what we do. When we hear these things, it makes us work harder to bring you the stuff we do.

With that being said, I’ll leave this photo of me sleeping next to Dennis’ NSX in our booth. I had dozed off while editing photos and making the last post from yesterday on the cold concrete floor, but I’m awake now, so stay tuned for our coverage of Wek’Fest, it’ll be worth it.

Venn, you're a dick. Thanks!

So Canon USA let our photographer Danh borrow a lens of his choice. Danh’s mentality was to get a lens he would never be able to justify spending the money on. What did he get? The elusive 400mm 2.8 IS L behemoth. This lens is typically for bird watchers, but not in our hands…. So what is our ace photographer Khiem shooting? Find out next week!

Overkill? Maybe. Badass? Definitely.


What's on the other side of that lens??


We also bathe together

It’s been a while. Between work, school and me moving into Downtown Houston, i’ve been pretty busy. But before summer school starts, I wanted to take a small trip to an area that doesn’t get much media attention- Louisiana. As me and Mikey drove for six hours down the I-10 freeway in a tiny Miata, I was hoping that we’d find some interesting things. And we did. Here’s a quick shot of what’s going down in the Crescent City.

Here in Texas, we really don’t get too much of a winter if you’re south of Dallas. Even further down south, in Victoria, TX, winters are even more scarce. That didn’t stop Karissa Lynne from capturing these beautiful pictures of her (yes, I said her) FD3S on Do-Luck Double-Sixes in a nice Fall setting.

oooOOOooOOooo

It's got gas.

True Love & Devotion: One Rad GF!

At last month’s Houston Cars & Coffee, I had the opportunity to meet up my buddy Law and his friend Warren that early morning at a nearby Sam’s Club just 10 miles west of the Cars & Coffee meet. I was driving my car, Law was driving his LS430, and Warren was driving his black AE86 alongside his girlfriend, Liz. So as we took off, we had somehow lost Warren on the way. I didn’t think too much of it as Law had told me that they got held back. After snapping off a few photos already, I saw Warren’s car in the lot, and Law had informed me that the bolts holding his throttle position sensor had come undone and that they didn’t have any way to keep it from completely coming off, so Warren and his girl got creative. When Warren popped open his bay, I just stared. 0_o
