While I was down at The Last Laugh/Upper Playground with Jae Bueno on Thursday evening he told me about a Cruise Night in El Monte on Friday. He gave me directions and we planned to meet up. When I first pulled up at the parking lot I remember being surprised by all the Christmas decorations [...]
After the Stylistics Toy Drive I met up with Gerardo… a friend of Volo’s who was willing to make room for an extra passenger to cruise Crenshaw. I followed him to his house, dropped off the rental car, and got in. Immediately I started with questions. He told me about the neighborhood in South Central [...]
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.

One last gathering of the spokes and paint before the cold rushes in. What better location than Sonic, Michigan cruisers’ new sweetheart? Is it just a crush? Only the years ahead will tell but for now the love shared was plenty to attract a small crowd this past Saturday and to keep riders warm through [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
