Recently picked up this 1974 Volskwagen Westy for my upcoming project Keep Drifting Fun
With some fresh tires, a bit of rust removal, a new coat of paint, and some tuning – it will be the ultimate road trip machine.
When I was considering a vehichle nothing was as iconic and efficient as a Volkswagen Van with...

Quick Snap – Project Westy
Quick Snaps – 7D video stills
Over the past two months, I’ve been working on several projects with the Canon 7D. These projects include Linhbergh and I’s daily photo blog/365 photo challenge ARTPANTS & client work like the upcoming Dubai 24H short film for Speedhunters.
The Canon 7D is far from a video camera. Its a digital still camera with an APS-C...

Quick Snaps – Washed Up
Down the bike path from me is Playa Del Rey. Playa Del Rey is situated on the beach just north of LAX. Its a chill and relaxed little town. Dive bars and coffee shops. Plus a washed up sail boat that is now fenced off with snow fence – like a monument or tombstone to...
Quick Snaps – NY2LA Preview
2009. This year, I’ve driven across the United States three times. Most recently from Buffalo, New York back to Los Angeles, California. The trip that landed me in Buffalo and back on the east coast was the BFGoorich Nation of GO tour. In June, I piloted an equipment van from Atlanta to Los Angeles for...
Quick Snaps – JOB Harrisburg, PA
In college, someone showed me Breakin’ 2 – Electric Boogaloo. The scene that really had the greatest impact was the rotating room dance sequence. Where Turbo and Ozone pop and lock all over the walls and ceiling of a rotating room.
Another influence was getting really hyped up listening to Lionel Richie’s Dancing On the Ceiling...
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 – JOB Bible Belt
I woke up in a van. Third row bench seat. A stack of tour t-shirts as a pillow. The humid Arkansas air was stale when the van door opened. In a daze, I gathered my batteries, camera bag, laptop, and my trusty suitcase. Looking down at my legs, I was impressed that they were carrying...
Quick Snaps – JOB Phoenix, Arizona
The Nation of GO tour rolled into Chandler, Arizona last night around midnight. We crashed at the Holiday Inn. The next morning, I fired off a few exposures. Still hooked on the Canon 14mm 2.8 L lens. It has such a gigantic field of view and the focus is simple over 3 feet away –...
Quick Snaps – JOB Indio, California
Double beds make for bed transfers. The mattresses at the Holiday Inn Express in Indio, California also had some awesome spring to them. Most of my favorite shots from this morning’s bed jumping session were taken with the 14mm 2.8 L – it has a gigantic field of view and the focus is simple at...
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 to...
