This past weekend, I visited New Jersey for Round Three of the 2009 Formula Drift season. New Jersey and New York City are both places that I have little experience. Even though I grew up in Ohio and around the east coast. NYC and NJ were places that were always skipped over in favor of warmer beach locales. After missing our connecting flight from Salt Lake City to Newark, Joey Redmond and I were able to get on a flight to JFK.
In the mean time, join in the location scout, travel, and rain that was this weekend.
Vasquez rocks county park. Went location scouting with Tripp Rhame from Spitfire Studios.
Very interesting peaks. Easy to see why they are used as an alien landscape in television and film.
Tripp on the ascent.
View from the top peak.
Some names carved in the top.
More initials & names.
In the shadow.
Walking out, back to the car.
Footprints in the dirt.
Cut to: New York City: Queens. Joey Redmond tries to get his phone situation straightened out- porting cell numbers is a pain.
Easy Does It. Hustlin’ through Newark to catch a shuttle to the hotel.
Rain on Friday makes Formula Drift practice stand still.
I like hotel mirror lighting for self portraits and macro eyeball photography.
If you saw me in Jersey, I probably looked like this- which is unshaven, sleep deprived, and flannel’ized.
Parting shot. Newark Airport in the drizzle.
