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 – 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...
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...
A Day with Will – Dubai Part Two
There is an indoor ski and snowboard hill inside the mall of the Emirates in Dubai. It’s incredibly cheezy. Fake snow in a gigantic refrigerator. I personally enjoy the snowmen and penguins – oh and the ski lift. The Address Hotel in Dubai is a nice place to stay. Plus it looks like a gigantic...
A Day with Will – Costa Rica Preview

A Day With Will – Jersey Turnpike
This past weekend, I visited New Jersey for Round Three of the 2009 Formula Drift season. New Jersey and New York City are both places that I have little experience. Even though I grew up in Ohio and around the east coast. NYC and NJ were places that were always skipped over in favor of...
Atlanta to Los Angeles Round Two
Spitfire Studios was set to ship their equipment to Los Angeles for a shoot this coming weekend. With StreetFire recently giving me the boot, I had some extra time on my hands. So I volunteered to drive their Dodge Sprinter van from their home base in Atlanta to Los Angeles. I genuinely enjoy driving –...
A Day with Will – Venice Pt II
While waiting for the bus to Venice from our hotel on the outside of the city- I started to notice the patterns and design in the buildings around. This was one of the cooler looking glass windows and modern design in a city dominated by ancient design. Here are the snaps from my second trip...
Formula Drift Atlanta
Some times you can be oblivious to the beauty that is right in front of your nose. If you live in Atlanta, you get the best clouds. Early summer storms roll in and blanket the sky with speeding fluffy white sheep clouds. In Los Angeles, we barely get to see the cloud ceiling through the...

Which allowed us to shoot on the slopes and in the pool at the hotel- including underwater. Midwest Surfers Go West (Utah 09) from Adams Family Photography on Vimeo....
Texas Trip – Day 1 & 2
Texas is huge. In case you didn’t realize it. Its massive, its one big steak loving state. With miles and miles between anywhere you’d want to be- it has some really fast cars. Like this 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 tuned by Hennessey performance. John Hennessey, super nice guy, showed Ricky Chu and myself around his...
A Day in March
Here are some snaps from the past few days. This is the DGA, Directors Guild of America, building across from Joey and Jason (Wrecked Magazine) new place. It has been windy. There has been some amazing cloud movement! The bronze color of the glass and the blue sky caught my eye- and here it is...
