Always an adventure.
This shoot was scheduled to take place during the King of the Hammers week for Nitto Tire. The car belongs to Casey Currie. A busy week and a busy guy meant a slim window to knock this out. I met up with Kyle Chandler and we started heading out to a location I had scouted out when my Pro XP throttle pedal went dead. Nothing. Nada. Just idled to a stop in the middle of basically nowhere Johnson Valley California. We radioed in for aide but no one had really experienced this "dead pedal" - we reset the car, checked fuses, checked plugs, everything we could think of all the while loosing precious day light.

I made the call to abandon efforts on my car, we staged the ProXP as best we could and we knocked out the shoot. It wasn't in the location I had planned or hoped for but I made sure that the client was taken care of.

As soon as we wrapped up the shoot, Kyle Chandler had to get the car back to the pits ASAP, ( I believe race day was the next morning) I told them not to worry about me, Id figure it out and sent them on their way. As soon as they were headed off, I packed up my lights and gear, hopped in the car, turned the key and everything worked 100% 🤣🤣

That week that damn dead pedal cost me alot of headache and I believe it was all caused from a tiny amount of water that had somehow collected inside the pedal assembly. We eventually (stuck on the side of boone road) tore it apart, sprayed it full of brake cleaner and I have not had an issue since. But I will say, if I was a racer, Id have a throttle pedal at every race because it was beyond frustrating being stranded in the middle of the desert due to a dead pedal.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness" - Oscar Wilde

I've always strived to create my own style, and I've always done things my own way. Learning by trial. There is alot that goes into creating images like these. Most the time when you see images like these they are created in a studio with several lights, scrims, reflectors, photographers and assistants, and they usually cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars per image. These were done on site, in an unfinished office space in under an hour. Nothing is by mistake, every light placement, every brush, every detail comes together to make the final images. And even though these are just wheels and random parts. They are images that I worked hard on and am proud to stamp my name on.

2019 Nissan Titan. This was new color release that I shot for Nissan North America - The full set ran in several motor journals and automotive news outlets at the time.

Continuing with my throwbacks for Thursday. Yet another set I'm not sure ever fully saw the light of day, I think I posted a couple of these but either way, here they are.

Kick ass drag RZR built by local legends K&T Performance. For Muchmore Power. These guys build some crazy s**t.

Alot of people could take some lessons from this guy. With his status and at his level he could easily get away with being a dick. But the respect and genuine care he shows is... refreshing. He's a real human and really down to earth. I've had the opportunity to work with him, in his home, and with his family, on a couple different occasions and every time he has greeted me with a handshake, eye contact and a legit "how are you doing?". He makes sure we get what we need and has always been willing to do more.

I just hope we can do it again sometime soon!

From location scout, to setup, to final.
Shot this piece with Ashley Burton for a UTV UnderGround feature.

I haven't really done anything like this since (compositing multiple angles of the same vehicle into the same shot) But maybe I should?

Man, digging up some bones here with this one.

This was one of the only decent builds to ever leave that shop during my time. And I believe it was the last for me. The only reason this thing came out the way it did was thanks to an outside team they assembled and brought in. I met some really awesome people during this build that I still try and stay in touch with today.

The dirt behind this photo is that this was the reason I was "canned" by sparks. I was proud of these images. I stayed out till about 2 am that night shooting, and turned around the edits ASAP. For me they were on a new level at the time and I was stoked for the release.

I was sitting at dinner with my wife and newborn child on the night of the release when the shop dog sent me a text asking for a couple shots to release on instagram in conjunction with the Discovery Channel episode debut. Not having access at the moment, we asked for boxes, packed up dinner, rushed home where I packaged up some images and sent them over in time for the release. Along with the photos I sent a text that explained how stoked I was on these images and that I would be even more stoked if I could get some credit thrown my way. ya know. put my name on it.

Moments later when the images went live on sparks's IG - the Entire team, from painters, to fabricators, tuners, shop hands, just about everyone that had anything to do with the project was tagged in the images I created to showcase this beast. But one was missing. Mine.

The rule was always simple. Once the photos were released by the main clown it was fair game. So I took to IG and Posted up a few of my favorite selects that I was proud of. In practicing a little self respect I returned the favor by tagging everyone involved in the build besides Mr. sparks himself.

Que ego meltdown and the rest is history.

The real bummer was that everyone, the whole team, was blown away by his response but no one said anything or wanted to be in my corner.

At the end of the day it exposed it for what and who they really were and having more self respect for myself. I've never looked back.

I still enjoy these images because it marks the end of a chapter and the beginning of so much more. These images set a new level for me and that's really when I began exploring lights more and really working with my subjects to CREATE images I am proud of.

Same Nissan Titan. Only with Tracks.

Nissan Titan I shot a while back for a local circus show. 😉
Like all good things, this location was locked up and shut down. Too dangerous or something. 🤦 Killer spot I wish I still had access too.

I wrote a whole caption about this experience and how grateful I am for these memories and then FB f8cked it. Not worth rewriting for 12 people to scroll past. Enjoy the photos. Thanks Will Gentile for putting me in the ring. Wish It would have impressed somebody over at Maxxis. lol

This is one of my favorite photos from hammers. It's not the most exciting photo I've ever taken. I just remember how I felt taking it. I remember the stoke. It was one of my first years on the lakebed. I looked through coverage for years before I was able to finally make it to the lakebed myself and most (like most race coverage) was frame filled with car. no context as to where it actually was, hell most images I had seen of the hammers could have been taken in almost any desert. I knew what the area was, the massive expanse of land open to travel and exploration, littered with canyons holding boulders bigger than VW bugs. I wanted to capture that massive expanse and diversity. I made my way over to chocolate thunder in a golf cart borrowed from rob flandro only to be dissapointed with the massive crowds of yellow vests. Sure that's where the most "action" was taking place but obviously they had it covered. I hiked up the canyon until there were no more yellow vests. turned around and began to work to compose and frame this shot. For me Photography has never been about chasing likes. Its been about creating work that I can revisit. Images that you can look at for more than 5 seconds before scrolling off for the next dopamine fix.

Took the RZR up to Monte Cristo yesterday with the fam for a quick test run on the portals and tracks.

First off, the goal of the build is to be MY ultimate family wagon. Get out and enjoy the outdoors with my family of 3. I want it to be reliable. I want it to be comfortable. And I want it to go a wide variety of places with ease. With that said. The clearance from the Super ATV Portals and Polaris RZR Prospector Pro tracks was awesome, we managed to bury the tracks a couple of times to where we were basically pushing snow with the bumper and she just kept chugging along. We never got stuck or really even bogged down yesterday. On the groomed road it's a little slow as expected. MAX is probably around 40mph with a comfortable cruising speed around 30mph. I'm going to try a little clutching to help bring the RPMS down but that's about where it's going to be at. Yes I would love to get another 10-15 mph out of it for driving up the groomed routes but in the Meadows, play areas and smaller tighter trails it went everywhere we pointed it. Tons of torque and hardly any stress on the motor/trans/belt. These Polaris Prospector Pro tracks are amazing! Driving around I kept thinking "This snow is pretty hard packed today" but when I stepped out I punched through to almost waist deep. Really impresed with the tracks flotation.
We definitely enjoyed a fun day out playing in the snow as a family. Goal met.
Anyone else running portals and tracks together?
