It all started Friday, when Joey Redmond hit me up and asked if I wanted to go to Fontana Drag Strip Saturday. Fontana is one of the few remaining quarter mile drag strips in southern California. I had been there once before, for Battle of the Imports. This trip was to watch Formula D Pro Chris Forsberg run his competition Nissan 350z on the strip.

Crossing over to a different form of motorsports is nothing new- but using the same car is mind blowing. Check out these images from the weekend. Hats off to Chris, Kevin, and Sergio for running an 11.9 on their first pass- without nitrous. If the weather held up, I’m sure that time would have dropped by a second! A 10 second drift car- impressive.

I go big on the weekends. T Rex. Wallpaper. is the coolest band you haven’t heard of, unless you are Joey Redmond. Because well, he told me about them, and they are enimgatic-dinomatic-spectacular. You are guarenteed to have a smile on your face during the video for T rex. So check out my pick for Video Of the Week.

Do yourself a favor and text me your love while you are at it.

Ziptied All Star Bash V from Joshua Herron on Vimeo.

As featured on speedhunters.com and wreckedmagazine.com here is my pick for Video Of the Week- Joshua Herron’s Ziptied All Star Bash V edit. Josh did a sweet job of combining a killer track - EPMD - K.I.M. and some clean color grading + a nice mix of drifting action and scene establishing shots to make this edit really fonky fresh. Keep droppin dem hammers Josh.

And watch out for my cameos. I’ll be that crazy guy with the neon vest on pretending to crank a mechanical film camera.

My cousin, Sean, sent me an amazing package- filled with tons of cds he hand picked for me. I’m already hooked on the DJ A-Trak and the Rub- Sunglasses At Night live album. Plus two really cool t-shirts. One from 10 Deep with a cross made of shoe boxes and another from Mighty Healthy NYC. The Mighty Healthy shirt has a ribbon like logo on the front and a quote by Hermann Hesse on the back. The quote, is the best I’ve heard recently. Read the rest of this entry »

Back in 2008, had to use that for my first post of 2009, I went to Miami with Joey Redmond and NOS to shoot an episode covering the HIN show. The teaser for my episode is now up on NOS’ YouTube page. So check out the cars, girls, RC drift cars, and go go dancers that made HIN Miami killer. The full length edit should be up soon. As always, check back here for the video! Did you make it out to any HIN shows?

The day before flying back to Los Angeles, my sister Lindy and I went snowboarding. Lindy used to ski and wanted to learn how to snowboard- and I always want to snowboard. So we enjoyed the best snowboarding in Ohio at Boston Mills. Yes, Ohio does have ski resorts. I wouldn’t really call them “resorts” but they are the biggest hills with lifts and a grip of snowmaking equipment. You gotta make due with what you have… surf on Lake Erie, snowboard at a place where the lifts take longer than the runs, do work with what you got. Read the rest of this entry »

Christmas time for me means heading back to Ohio and Pennsylvania to visit family. It also means getting to visit my old room and see my stuff that didn’t make the trip to California with me. 

The calendar above is from my days at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. After graduating in May 2006, I got a position at Enterprise through my friend Jeff. I needed to save for the move to California and really wanted to buy my own professional grade video camera. Enterprise let me run my own business, I have to laugh about that, it motivated me to follow my dreams and do what I wanted- which was more creative work. 

Check out the rest of the images from my trip to Cleveland.

Webrides TV has finally posted part of their coverage from SEMA 2008. Parker brought me on @ Webrides to help them edit their footage from the show. This is cars 10-6, of their top 10 list. The other video, part II, contains cars number 5-1. Check it out and let me know what you think. My old roommate, Brian Steele, was one of the camera operators at the show. Enjoy. 

Band From TV’s CD/DVD combo Hoggin’ All The Covers is out and available at Amazon. This past year, I had the opportunity to photograph the band and they are awesome. You might also catch me in the crowd during the DVD during the live studio performance. Support them and the charities they are donating the profits to, by checking out the CD/DVD. While your at it, check out my photos on their website.
