Never ending roads, drive until you hit the coast, rest up, turn around and drive until you hit the other. Here is the beginning of one trip. And the end of another. I just ended the longest road trip I’d been on to date and am going to start another. Planning another for later this...

Nation of GO – Photography
In my Nation of GO Schedule post, I added some of my photography from the tour at that point. This post, is all about my favorite photographs I’ve taken since then. Chronologically, these images fall under the first half of the trip. Meaning that there will be a couple more posts to cover all of...
A Day with Will – Risky Devil
Being on the Nation of GO tour has not left much free time for socializing. On an average day we are covering a few hundred miles, shooting multiple locations, and then doing post work at the hotel. The last third of the tour takes the van through the midwest. Which feels mighty homely. Its nice...
Random Snaps – Hoosier JOB
Was able to “bounce” back from my minor finger injury and Jump On Beds again. This time, coming to you from the Hooiser state, Indiana. Pushing the shutter speed as high as my ISO would allow – I was able to get less blur and a faster shutter – which gives the illusion that I...

Quick Snaps – Orange EVO 9
On the Nation of GO tour, I’ve been shooting an average of 200 or more photos a day. This is pushing me to try new things and think like a photographer instead of a videographer. Being able to drop my shutter speed into the sub 1/60 range and working on single frame composition. This car...
Quick Snaps – JOB Orange County
Tonight, I found out that there is a Jumping On Hotel Beds website. Odd, I guess there are other travelers who share my passion for decimating hotel beds and trying to kick the ceiling. I’ve cracked a few box springs in my travels and left a few mattresses messed up – but thats why I...
Nation of GO – Dominator Street Rods
Finished up at Brizio’s Street Rods and drove out to another Bay area builder’s – Dominator Street Rods. Roy Brizio himself led us out onto the highway – this gave me the chance to shoot some longer exposure car to car shots. Was happy with how a few turned out – this one at 1/40...
Nation of GO – Arrival San Francisco
The Nation of GO crew showed up at San Francisco International Airport a little before noon. 7 of us, who will travel around the United States in a van and a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Sportback. We set off to the hotel and then to grab some photos of the van and Ralliart for the...
Quick Snaps – 5D Mark II 135mm 2.0
Self portraits with a Canon 5D Mark II and a 135mm 2.0 L – first time really messing around with the setup.
A Day with Will – Roommates
My roommates are super cool people. I really lucked out when I first moved to El Porto and met Teddy and Brent – the original roommates at my place. Since then, Teddy moved out to live with his girlfriend Alex and Brent got accepted to Georgetown for medical school. Movin’ on up in the world....
A Day with Will – Home to Ohio
I visited my home town of North Olmsted, Ohio back in December for Christmas. It had been 9 months since I’d seen my folks, sister, and friends in Ohio – so it was time to fly back and visit for a week. Which means that I got to spend some time with my dog –...
A Day with Will – Mitsubishi Outlander
Jesse Lee of Kinod Photography aka former Miata hard parkers… in a stand-off with our Mitsubishi Outlander. Thanks to Mitsubishi, Linhbergh, Jesse, and I had a smooth Outlander to cruise up to Sonoma for Formula Drift this weekend. Anything without coilovers is an improvement for a long drive over my S14 240sx. The Outlander was...
Quick Snaps – Rebel T1i
Ray of Royal Flush clothing reading one of the many “rice books” (aka sport compact magazines) in my apartment. Medium Monster & Co. had a work n surf day- meaning that we worked and surfed el porto (my home break). We recently picked up a Canon Rebel T1i. Which shoots 720p video @ 30fps and...
A Day with Will – Bonneville ETC.
Sunshine breaks through the clouds above the Bonneville Salt Flats. 2009 has been a year of firsts for me, first time to Pike’s Peak, the Texas Mile, a NASCAR race, and most recently – the Bonneville Speed Week. Bonneville is similar to Pike’s Peak in a sense. I’ve been nearby, but never really knew. In...
A Day with Will – X Games 15
Tanner Foust’s Ford Fiesta Sedan inside of the Home Depot Center ready for X-Games 15 Rally. I got to go the X-Games! Its hard to imagine growing up without the games. My guess, is that I started watching the X-Games around X3 in San Diego. Because it had been a few years of watching before...
A Day with Will – Hill Climb Practice
The race to the clouds, climb dance, Millen’s mountain – Pike’s Peak. This week has passed by quickly. Just a few days ago, we arrived in Colorado Springs in the RMR/Red Bull Rig – now its the eve of the Hill Climb itself. I’m excited. Here is the past week of practice and having fun...
Quick Snaps – Red Bull Rig
Somewhere in New Mexico. The RMR/Red Bull Rig takes a breather from the road trip from Las Vegas, NV to Colorado Springs, CO. This week, I’m in Colorado Springs, Colorado for the 2009 Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb- shooting a short film with Rhys Millen and the RMR team. Much more photos, helicopter rides, bike...
Quick Snaps – Latigo above the Clouds
Here is a quick photo from this morning. About 7am in the hills above Pacific Coast Highway and north of Malibu lies Latigo Canyon. Before the sun burned off the fog- I was above the clouds riding the twisiting turns of the canyon 2 lane road. More photos coming soon.
A Day with Will – 1990 Honda CRX
Joey Redmond of Wrecked Magazine called me up one night and asked if I wanted to go with him to shoot Chase M’s 1990 Honda CRX.
