While shooting at the Stylistics Toy Drive I had the opportunity to meet several NLRA members from Ghetto Fabulous and Original Ridaz. We did a small shoot… some of the rides, some couples, then group shots. After I left I headed over to the LA Coliseum where there was another Toy Drive going on. When [...]
Walking up to the shaded area where the show was you could already tell that this toy drive was packed with fine rides and a diverse crowd. Sampling some of the rides with the lens my attention soon turned to the audience. Clubs, friends, families, kids, and pets paced the pavement to soak in all [...]
Reem had the boys up for what seemed to be the last cruising day of the year. Lowriders, a couple drinks, good company, and a warmer than average October evening provided a setting ripe for memories. We’ve had pieces of a LATE Indian Summer since and it looks like the same could happen early next [...]
While we were in Vegas we renewed our vows in commeration of 5 years together in marriage. The ceremony was small and intimate and sported a backdrop like none other at Red Rock Canyon. Francisco, our host while in Vegas, also was kind enough to serve as the presider over the service and Volo came [...]
How many years running is this picnic anyway? I know we’ve enjoyed it steady the last 5, each year looking forward to Labor Day weekend to get down to the Detroit River and BBQ one last time before the summer escapes us. Riders from all over came out for food, hopping, and showing on a great [...]
Our wonderful hosts! What can I say? Hospitality is spelled F-R-A-N-C-O on the left coast. Being in Vegas the week BEFORE the Super Show has its drawbacks but the time we were able to spend and the new friendships that were forged (between Jill, Volo, Eve, Cisco, and more) more than outweighed the downside to [...]
This weekend the Southside Cruisers and Selective Styles car clubs held their picnic and hop at Labaugh Woods in Chicago. The event was filled with families, food, and firme rides. After the picnic we followed our hosts back to the south side for some midnight hopping action. Thanks to everyone for the hospitality especially Southside [...]
So I’ve been hoping for a shoot at the drive-in for about 4 years now… tonight we were able to make that happen. The Majestics organized an evening of fun and family at the Ford-Wyoming drive in movie theater. It was a beautiful evening with lots of rides and families. Thanks to everyone that came out and [...]
Check out this month’s Lowrider Magazine… Vernor Hwy in southwest Detroit heats the On The Scene section with coverage of our Cinco de Mayo parade! Unfortunately we didn’t write Expressions into the article with the hope that the couple pics of the youth and rides would make the layout but they didn’t… so under the [...]
The last year has been packed tight with opportunities and responsibilities. Some of these have kept as many pics as normal from getting into blogs and posted online. A year of traveling, cruising, shooting, meeting new people, building and maintaining new relationships, documenting, and politicking–a great year. A tiring year. A year of progress. The [...]
