Breast Calendar Shoot
Oh man was their cars epic. We shot 5 cars there here was the first one, A Flat Red STI that was featured in Import Tuner
And that’s about as much as I can show you from there, if you wanna see them all, you’ll just have to buy a calendar!
Next place we hit up was UMS tuning. They were doing dyno runs when we got there and washing the EVO. The pictures turned out pretty good!
And next was the finale, the Skyline R34, and Ms Tessalyn Joi, I’ll let the picture speak for it self
She was A LOT of fun to shoot, very spazzy and what not. Overall, I think the shots could have been better but I mean, it’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life, so I’m pretty pleased about it

Amazing Weekend
So basiclly, last weekend was the bomb.
Went and ate some greek food and afterwards met up with Sean to talk over about the big calendar shoot this weekend, stayed tuned for that, that will be the biggest thing of my life!
After that, we went to Justins, boss's house to polish up the E55 benz , tuned and pullied, for the next day to park in front of our booth.
Afterwards he showed me all of Scottsdale and I fell instantly in love with the place, if I was to become successful enough, I'd mos def live there!
The next day, Pure Street Photo co-sponsored the Ultimate Auto Concepts Detail clinic. 2 girls flaked on us which isnt much of a surpise but at least Mercy and Lindi showed, they were both LOTS of fun to work with and were more like friends than anything.
Not many cars showed up, but that didn't stop me and Justin from snapping away.
Overall it was great exposure for the pure street team and lots of fun.

Fun weekend!
Man what a fun weekend! that's all I really have to say.
I had been working on getting a mini UTI photo meet organized and it turned out to be a great success, got to meet some new people and all of us had a great time! We had all met up in the parking lot, duh, and had drove to the Hilton Inn off of Avondale blvd. There was a cul-de-sac that me and Brad had ran into when we first got to Avondale, so I figured that'd be a great spot to shoot. The cars that came out were...Saturn Sky, Scion XB, Yamaha R1, Subaru Impreza, and a Honda Civic. I wish I had more flashes but of course as I always do, I work with what I got. Here are some pics! There are a lot more pics i need to process so stayed tuned.
The next day we went to the UTI homecoming drags, not much to explain there!

Last Weekend
Was a BLAST, me and Justin went to speed world to cover the car show event and the turnout was great. It was slow at first but then 30 minutes later people started to roll in. I think covering the event was a complete success, we met a lot of new people, and got massive exposure. Also I got a chance to met Martin, the dude with the STI. He's going to be our money manager as soon as this lifts off the ground. The bra and panties contest didn't go down because the sponsor wanted 5 girls to do it, and there was only 4, I think that would have gotten even more exposure for us, but oh well maybe next time.
The next day we covered the annual AZHT Sedona Run in Martins STI. We tapped it all up and made it all nice and pretty. That was also a great success. Met a lot of people and took many pics. Here is the link to ALL the pictures, there are still a lot more to come

KSport Shoot
I got an extremely lucky chance to shoot at the suspension company called Ksport. I'd like to acknowledge Nick, the owner of Ksport, for giving me and Justin the chance to use the headquarters of Ksport for this shoot. I'd also like to thank Ms. Mercy for coming out and dealing with the heat inside! So this is definitely the first time I've ever shot a model on a car. It was a great learning experience, and also the first time I've ever used 3 flashes. We turned off all the lights and but they have skylights in the building so we couldn't eliminate all the light, but I guess a cloud had covered the sun from letting much light as the shoot went on...Producing some intense pictures. We did have some problems with the lighting, but I think I figured out what was going on. Either way, im quite pleased with the outcome!
wut up son!
