(Steve) Last year we saw an instagram post for Das Renn Treffen. We had no idea what it was but it sounded German and it had a picture of a Porsche so we knew it had to be good. Reaching back into the archives of 2015 we captured quite a bit of amazing cars. Since […]

2015 Archive : Concours South Florida
In a park that’s damn near impossible to say, Topeekeegee Yugnee Park on a very cloudy day, actually the day following The Creative Workshop adventure I found myself surrounded by yet another smattering of rare and eclectic cars. As per usual I was about an hour early. I mean come on these are the lowest […]
Wekfest PALM BEACH – LAST STOP
2015 came and went about as fast as a bout of IBS on Taco Tuesday. It’s been quite a year. We’ve had some amazing experiences and moving into 2016, we have quite a bit more coming. As this year draws to a close, we had one of the larger shows in the car scene make […]
OUSCI 2015 : LAS VEGAS SHOOTOUT
So, around this time last year after a long week at SEMA, we caught a glimpse of the OPTIMA® Batteries shootout. We walked in as the event was coming to an end on Sunday evening. (This year we made an effort to make it part of our schedule.) I honestly don’t know how I made […]
The Classic 24 at Daytona: A Trip Down Memory Lane
They say that you have to remember where you came from to know where you are going. That was clear as I pulled into Daytona International Speedway the morning of the HSR Classic 24 Hours at Daytona. I was, as Mr. McFly would say, transported back in time. This was my first time shooting Historics […]
The Chevrolet SAMA LUNCHEON
Through our friends at The Creative Workshop, I was introduced to Bill Adam, famed Canadian racecar driver and president of SAMA. Bill invited Dmitry and myself to one of their luncheons where Chevrolet was presenting the 2016 Silverado & Colorado. This was an opportunity for Bill to meet us in person and to share some […]
HONDAS SHINE IN LAS VEGAS : SEMA
This post highlights two, very special builds that were debuted at SEMA. These two hit a bit more on a personal level because I’m a big Honda guy, and these two builders are house-hold names in the Honda community. The first build I’ll talk about is the RCS Garage EM1 Civic SI owned by Mike […]
RISE AND GRIND IN LAS VEGAS
Well, I’ve been up for a little over 14-hours now, and my second day at SEMA has drawn to a close. I’m tired, my feet hurt, and so do my shoulders from lugging around all my camera gear, but it was all a very, positive experience. In fact, I’m a bit beside myself about the […]
SEMA 2015 : My First time
Jet lag is starting to kick in. My day started early, 5am central time as I got ready to head to the airport to begin my journey to Las Vegas, Nevada, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the annual SEMA show. This is my first time making the trip and it’s quite an overwhelming experience. The event […]
SEMA 2015 : getting ready
Another year has passed. This is our fourth adventure to America’s playground. Coming from Florida it feels unreal looking out the airplane window at the massive red mountains. To me, the show gets better every year. Despite the “overbooked” complications with numerous cars being denied last minute and the growing talk about the over fender […]
Restoring your dreams : Step One
Back in September we attended the nurotag homecoming show and met a very interesting dude. His name was Larry. He had this immaculate Blue 280z parked at the farthest end of the parking lot outside of the MACC. […]
Twisted Koncepts Showoff
Twisted Koncepts Showoff Showdown Five. Two weekends ago, mid-west minitruckers and custom-car enthusiasts converged on The Mermaid Event & Entertainment Center for the fifth annual Showoff Showdown presented by Twisted Koncepts. The mid-west based car club has been putting the event on for the past five years, this year being the second at The Mermaid, […]
Street Driven Tour – Cars & BBQ
At the beginning of July, Minus mentioned the Southrnfresh 5 x Streetdriven event. Neither one of us thought much about it since it was in Georgia. We joked about driving up for the weekend to check it out. I started thinking, “Do I really want to sit in the car for nine hours to Georgia […]
MIA TO ATL : SF5 / STREET DRIVEN TOUR
Back at it again! Sorry for any lack in coverage, but we have been very busy on our end building up everything outside of photography. Steve and I made our way to Atlanta for the event with a “Why not?” attitude. Since we were coming up from Miami, I was going to drive, but the […]
LibertyWalk SummerBash Gallery
The LibertyWalk SummerBash made it’s way through central Florida this past week for a great gathering and showcase of a variety of vehicles. We need more get togethers where it’s all about the cars and less about problems. This is a positive print on the culture and we hope to see many more. […]
RedBull Global Rally Cross : The Start
We learned of the Ft. Lauderdale Red Bull Global Rallycross event a while back and put in for media, hoping for the best. When we saw the acceptance email, Minus and I were beyond ecstatic! Then came the question, “Should we rent some gear?” Considering this was a major event right in our backyard, we […]
Formula Drift Orlando : Sunny Florida
I have always enjoyed going to a Formula Drift event. The excitement has never left me. But now, it’s more about experiencing everything with a more trained eye and enjoying it on a different level. We now visit these events with a sense of business, focusing on getting our shots and telling the story, which […]
Goodguys 2nd Florida Nationals
Day 2. 5am. Five hours of sleep. Dmitry and I were up just before dawn, packed and waiting in the lobby to drive down to Kissimmee for the Goodguys 2nd Florida Nationals car show and autocross event. We rode with the client for an hour and change to meet up with the Detroit Speed team. […]
Jeep Beach 2015 : The BFGOODRICH special
Tuesday, April 21, 4:00pm. I just found out that I would be going to Daytona for four days to shoot content for BFGoodrich. WOW! This is awesome! I called my good friend Dmitry of Cool Coconut Studios to ask if he would join me. He was just as excited as I was! The plan was […]
Festival Of Speed : South Florida Super Car Fun
It was my first time checking out the Festival Of Speed event, and I was very excited to say the least. We’ve had a slight dry spell in South Florida for the last couple of months (figuratively speaking). I found myself caught underneath the blistering sun at Miami Museum Park and walking into a sea […]
Nurotag 2015 : A quick look
Check out our photo gallery showcasing one of South Floridas steadily growing car shows. […]
Isles Casino Classic Car Show
My brother called me to see if I’d be interested in going to brunch with the family at The Isles Casino. The grandparents are visiting, and they love brunch, especially at The Isles. He went on to say that they were also having a car show that same day and that grandpa wanted to check […]
24 Hours at ROLEX : 2015
I’ve been lucky enough to photograph some pretty amazing cars ever since I joined up with The Charis Culture, everything from souped-up Supras and RX-7s, to old school Corvette Stingrays and Datsuns (coming soon). However, for the gearhead, nothing beats the thrill of shooting motorsport. Something about all the noise, the almost alien nature of […]
Cavallino Classic 2015: PBIR Racing
The Cavallino Classic is known as a convention for automotive enthusiasts; however, it is recognized as a gathering of Ferrari connoisseurs showing their love for the rich heritage through racing and an elite car show. Every year, the Cavallino kicks off at Palm Beach International Raceway and pushes through the weekend at the Breakers Resort, […]
