2010 has come to an end, here is a look back my life & memories from the year two thousand and ten.
January.
Started the year off in Dubai. Shooting the Dubai 24hour race for Speedhunters and covering Team Need for Speed – in it’s first outing. Dubai is a collision of culture and progress. The architecture is like a post modern and modern designer’s wildest dreams.
Sundance Film Festival 2010, was my third year in a row at the festival. Working with a team of talented producers, shooters, and editors to create the official live @ sudance content. I got the chance to shoot interviews with Bill Gates and Sundance founder – Robert Redford.
Then of course, get knee deep in some fresh pow pow for a few days of snowboarding in Utah – post festival.
February.
After months of planning, purchased a 1974 VW Westfalia van. Westy, as the van became known, would be the transportation and symbol for Keep Drifting Fun – my grassroots drifting documentary. Co-director, Joshua Herron, made the trip to LA a few times to help me complete body work on the van.
Turned 26. Everything after 25 seems down hill and less reason to celebrate. However, I knew that 2010 would be a big year for me and I was excited regardless.
March.
The ID Agency and Formula Drift asked me to put together a 2009 Re-cap video for the 2010 season kick off gallery. I was able to show my work along side friends: Linhbergh and Jose J. Martinez in a Long Beach art gallery prior to the first round of the 2010 FD season. Rad.
More work on Westy.
