The end of 2011 has been crazy for me. The last few months of this year have kept me very busy and one of the projects I’m looking forward to finishing up is a piece on Team Need for Speed driver Chris Rado. Here are a few screen grabs from the video. Still editing it...

This is my car, this is me driving, this is as fun as it looks…photo by Skylar Smith.
Quick Snap – Is this real life?
Working on a project for K&N Filters with Vaughn Gittin JR and HPI racing – here is a little screen grab from the shoot today. Can’t wait to share the final product in a few weeks. – Will
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.
Quick Snaps – Video Stills
Been behind the keyboard and mouse a bunch lately – without being able to release much finished work. Here are some stills from videos I’m working on right now – yet to be released. Shot with Vaughn Gittin JR in Charlotte, NC and had some fun with his personal Ford Mustang RTR. A white car...
Quick Grab – 2011 Dubai 24h
This past weekend, was the 2011 Dubai 24h race at the Dubai Autodrome. Here is a screen grab from the my upcoming edit. Team Need for Speed #76 – dominated the final 2/3rds of the race and finished first! For the camera dorks out there: Canon 7D 1080/30p + Canon 200mm f2.8L + my own...
Quick Snap – METHOD
Six days out riding so far this 2010-2011 season, which is close to the amount of days I rode for all of 2009-2010. I was told once that you need to ride the number of days you are years old. Personally, I think that is a good guideline and means I have some more riding...
Quick Snaps – Stills from Current Projects
Thanks to Day Light Savings time, I got an earlier start than usual on my Sunday and started working on a few edits. The following are screen grabs from a quick assembly – for Chris Forsberg’s year in review video for NOS Energy Drink. They’re all from FD Long Beach and represent an event –...
Quick Snaps – SUMO Power GT1
Had the pleasure of visiting SUMO Power in Rye, England this month and to shoot in their impressive facilities. Both R35 GT1 cars were present and about to be loaded up for a test session in Spain. Having seen the GTRs race around Silverstone, Paul Ricard, and Algarve – seeing them in the same garage...
Quick Snaps – Sepia Tone San Francisco
Stayed in San Francisco for an extra day after Formula Drift. Explored the city and show off some of my favorite places in the city. The Golden Gate bridge was a morning stop, as the previous trips across it was covered in thick San Francisco fog. Check out ARTPANTS, my 365 photo blog for images...
Quick Snaps – MadMike Whiddett Las Vegas
August 21st was the 5th round of the 2010 Formula Drift season – Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It is not my favorite course on the Formula Drift circuit, but it is unique because it runs later in the night than the other rounds. Due to the later start, practice happens in the early evening also...
Quick Snaps – KITSCH skateboard
There are some serious concrete parks here in Vancouver. Unfortunately, my skateboard setup is somewhere in Minnesota – with the Westy van. So in the meantime, I picked up this Kitsch board. So clean, that changed the same day when I rode the park down the street and scuffed it up proper. A lot of...
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 – Pikes Peak Bottomless Pit
Its been almost a week since the 84th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and normalcy still escapes me. Waking for 4 days in a row, hours before dawn to ascend a 14 thousand foot mountain left quite an impression (as it did the year before). As the sun separated the horizon line...
Quick Snaps – Chris Forsberg @ New Jersey
This is a still frame from some of my recent footage from Formula Drift New Jersey. Hobo and I are documenting NOS Energy Drink sponsored driver – Chris Forsberg. This weekend was the first production that I exclusively utilized the Canon 7D. The HD DSLR image quality is incredible compared to previous cameras I have...
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...
Quick Snaps – JOB Chateau Elan FAIL
While JOB’ing it up at the Chateau Elan I smashed my head into the ceiling – FAIL. Linhbergh got this snap mid-fall on the return. The beds were too soft and the ceiling was too low. Gotta pay the cost, to be the boss. Or some other cheezy idiom for the occasional cost of being...
Quick Snaps – FD Atlanta Screen Grabs
Yo! One of the reasons I started this blog was to let people in on how I shoot and create my work. These two images are screen grabs from Final Cut Pro and from footage from the 2010 Formula Drift Altanta event. Since November 2009, I have been integrating the Canon 7D more into my productions....
Quick Snap – Credentials
In December 2007 I was given my first name badge at a event. The badge was my credential for entry and to work as a camera operator. Now, over three years later, my bundle of badges has grown. From being a tour member of the Nation of GO team, X-Games media credentials, three years of...
