Random Snap: The Flying Lizard.
There’s few words that can accurately describe the feeling of being on a track while an ALMS Porsche comes screaming down the track. It’s almost surreal. Even harder to do is to relay that feeling in the form of a photo. Here’s my best guess.

Random Snap: Sleeping NSX.
As I was getting ready to leave the Convention Center in Edison, NJ, home of Wek’Fest East, Tae from SPS garage came by and urged me to come check out his car. “You won’t regret it”, were his words. When I came around the corner, I was greeted by a slumbering NSX tucked neatly away under a truck trailer. NSX’s are already pretty low to the ground, but lowered ones are on skateboard status.
Don’t worry, more to come!

Random Snap: Pit Stop.
One of the joys of owning a Pit Bull is that you get to see how happy they are when they’re near people. Takata’s whole butt moves from side to side as she wags her little puppy tail when people approach her ready to pet her soft coat. Likewise, Joy’s red nose Pit Bull, an extra large boy named Turbo, is always happy to meet new people, and especially, kids.
Despite what mainstream media would like to tell you, Pit Bulls are great with kids, and were even used as nannies before they were used as status symbols by not-so-savory types. So while I was relaxing under the IAG tent during this past Sunday’s College Park Tuning Springtime event, I noticed a little girl that was so excited to ask Joy for permission to pet the dog that was three times her size. She gave him some affection, and in typical Pit Bull fashion, Turbo loved every second, wagging his tail and smelling the little girl’s hands. I managed to snap off this pic while holding Takata with my other hand.
Pit Bulls - One of the greatest breeds
Just wanted to share a moment that made me smile.
More photos coming soon of this event!

Random Snap: Gangsta.
I had the opportunity to travel out with the guys from IAG Performance today to show off Joy’s WRX at an Import Face-Off event held in Crofton, MD, just 25 minutes from where I live.
Here’s one picture I really wanted to share.
GANGSTA at heart
Nuff said. More pics to come!

Random Snap: Cherry Blossoms in Maryland.
I was driving home one late afternoon, and as I was pulling up to my house, I noticed the trees looked much different. I parked. I got out, and stared at these fluffy white, pink and yellow trees. What were once just a bunch of sad looking twigs that were lined up along the Inner Harbor in Baltimore were now fully bloomed Cherry Blossoms that adorned the streets and brought so much more color.
I decided to run inside my place, grab my camera and take a few photos of these trees. I parked the daily along the street where I take Takata for walks along the Harbor.
Baltimore, MD
I think this week or next I’m taking Takata and maybe Turbo to the centennial Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. If you’re in the DC/MD/VA area, you should definitely check it out!

I’m starting to really like Maryland.

Random Snap: Downtown Baltimore.
I don’t really ever take pictures of any of my cars, but I snapped this pic two nights ago as I was wandering around aimlessly in downtown Baltimore near the Inner Harbor where I currently live. I then let fellow protographer Khiem Pham make a quick edit, and this is the result.
Yes, I know. I drive a hairdresser’s car, but it gets great gas mileage!

Random Snap: Wet and Mild.
From an older photoshoot Khiem did of a friend’s car. You guys already know we don’t let bad or wet weather stop us.

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!

Random Snap: We iz tired.
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!
