The coldest I’ve ever been has to be…Wyoming. Prior to this most recent trip, wind chill and cold temperatures combined to make a few snowboarding trips – extremely brisk. However, Wyoming in December at 3am has to take the prize for the coldest I’ve experienced. -16 degrees will make you want to curl up and...

A Day with Will – Westy Ohio to California PT II
After leaving Tucumcari, New Mexico we headed further west to Albuquerque – home of the second longest tramway in the world. We rode the tram up to the top, which provided spectacular views of the state and city. We didn’t stay long because the winds at the top were blowing and it was very chilly....
A Day with Will – Westy Ohio to California
Chicago, Illinois November 2011. The leaves were golden and hanging on like the last warmth of summer on a fall afternoon. It was time to bring my 1974 Volkswagen Westfalia Van back out to California from the midwest. The van, known as Westy – short for the Westfalia camper conversion it sports, had been at...
A Day with Will – NZ II
Rhys uses his hands to explain car positioning for a video we shot in New Zealand on his family’s property. We ended up mowing sections of the long grass down to make a golf course like setup for his rally car. Some of the other residents were curious about our project. Rod Millen has a...
A Day with Will – New Zealand
After Formula Drift Irwindale, Rhys Millen asked me to travel to New Zealand to work on promotional content for the 2012 Leadfoot Festival. Having never been to NZ, I immediately re-arranged my schedule to make the trip down south work out. After a 14 hour flight, Rhys and I arrived back in his homeland. It...
A Day with Will – China Pt III
Larry showed us the “counter fit” markets. They were filled with knock off: watches, glasses, bags, and clothes. Skylar does his best german rocket scientist pose. SCIENCE! After the markets we all jumped into Tuk Tuk like three wheeled motorcycle carts and raced off to Westlake. The cultural area that surrounds the lake. Its known...
A Day with Will – China Part II
Our hotel was within walking distance to the stadium. It made the morning commute easy for World Drift Series and it also made our world in China very small. Unless you wanted to grab a taxi the few blocks around the hotel was the world’s map of the day. Up the street, was a small...
A Day with Will – World Drift Series China
Larry Chen asked me if I wanted to come to China to shoot the World Drift Series this year and at the time I was not sure if it would work with my schedule. When the end of October came around, Larry asked again and having just finished the Nissan social media project I was...

A Day with Will – Bulls on Parade
As I was about to leave for Atlanta last week for the second round of the 2011 Formula Drift season – I got an email from a friend asking a favor. Someone had cancelled on him for an important shoot and he needed a POV camera operator. Being a user and supporter of Contour HD...
Quick Snaps – FLorida
If you wanted to read what I had to say, this blog wouldn’t have so many pictures…less talking, more shutter clicks. My life, May 9, 2011. Until next time. More dancing, less talking.
Project 240sx
I’ve owned my 1995 Nissan 240sx since early 2008. From 2008 – late 2010 it was my daily driver. It was a project car for Rice Boy TV – where we added Enkei RPF1′s (18 x 8.5 (rear) & 18 x 7.5 (front)), an AEM intake, Magnacore wires, plugs, NRG short hub, NRG quick release,...
As of late.
January was a busy month for me, however so was last January – when I did the same thing: Dubai 24 hour race & the Sundance film festival. As someone who goes from project to project this type of routine is uncommon – but welcomed. Team Need for Speed, which I was following in Dubai...
2010 Year in Review
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....
Quick Snaps – JOB Seattle
Did a quick JOB, Jumping On Beds session in Washington state during Formula Drift Seattle. We had a solid crew of bouncers: Andy, Linhbergh, Hobo Herron, and I. Above, Linhbergh gets caught mid jump in a yoga like pose. While I practice gravity defying one-handed handstands on the wall. Andy dusts off his break beat...
Quick Snaps – West Philly
A good friend from Charlotte and a good friend from Los Angeles joined up with a good friend from Philadelphia that we were crashing with to explore West Philadelphia on a Tuesday afternoon. I’d been following the Love Letters mural project in West Philly for a while now online – so it was awesome to...
A Day with Will – London via Linhbergh
Linhbergh and I rode the express to Paddington station and then hopped on the Underground to explore downtown London. We had a few hours to kill before our flight to Atlanta for Formula Drift. Linhbergh is a solid photographer and being able to travel around the city and take photos with him is a blast....
JOB – London, England
JOB, Jumping On Beds in London, England. Photos by Linhbergh. Added a pillow into the mix to do some snow & skate tricks. This was my first time doing a proper Jumping On Beds shoot in a few months.
VOW – Working on a VW Van
Video Of the Week, Pete shot this with a couple Go Pro HDs while we working on the Project Westy for Keep Drifting Fun. It was a solid Sunday of work. Checked a couple things off the checklist for preping the VW for some new paint. Thanks to Pete and Aya for helping me with...
