Yesterday Neil, Mei and I went to the Orange County Fairgrounds for the Cruisin’ For A Cure event that I had to shoot for work. The event was a lot bigger than I thought with a lot more cars and spectators than expected. We weren’t there for too long but here are a couple of shots from the show.











After the Cruisin’ For A Cure event we went up to Pomona Fairplex for the LG World Championships of Freestyle Motocross (FMX) event that NOS Energy Drink was sponsoring. There’s not really much to say so yeah, check out some random shots I got… oh yeah, highlight of the event, the funnel cake.






Also, here’s a sneak peak at the Honda Fit that Neil and I are doing for Honda of North America for this years SEMA Show… check the Function / Form goodies thanks to Preston and Rob.

Corey and I just shot this Pernelli Jones / Saleen Ford Mustang for some marketing material here at work; as usual, we didn’t have a real exciting background to work with since the office is in the middle of a residential neighborhood but whatever. Here are four quick shots that I edited, enjoy.
Oh yeah, incase you’re wondering, old broken printers make great tripods.

This could be a great idea or a terrible idea, I guess we’ll find out soon.

Sorry for all of the car related posts, it’s just what’s been going on with work and whatever else…
Anyways, earlier today Corey and I took the new Dodge Challenger out to get some shots for some upcoming marketing material and other stuff. As usual, there’s nothing around here worth a damn for an interesting background and of course the time of day doesn’t help since it’s way too bright out to shoot but oh well. Here are two shots from this morning.

A few weeks back I posted some shots of Jason Siu’s Integra build that he posted for sale; anyways, the full feature I shot on the car is now up on Tunerzine.com.
Go there… now.

As some of you know by now, Neil and Mei are expecting their first child right about mid-October and well, I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve always loved being around kids and sadly it might have to do with the fact that I act like a big kid 98% of the time.
In the mean time, go visit Neil and Mei’s blog to stay updated on the baby as some of the other stuff going on.
Here’s the latest ultrasound picture of my soon to be nephew, Collin Samuel Tjin… the next male terror in the Tjin family. I can’t wait.

So over the last few days I’ve had the chance to drive a Corvette C6 Z06 around to do some sound recordings and photography on it. I’d never had the chance to drive one of these around and it’s by far one of the fastest cars I’ve ever driven. Anyways, here are a few sample pictures I took yesterday.

So it’s right at 3:00am and I just got home from driving around Santa Monica and downtown Los Angeles trying to find somewhere to shoot something coming up. After wasting our time in Santa Monica, and me being as miserable as ever, we ended up downtown where Ian and I were testing out some random rig shots and some other crap.
Here are two samples, quick and crappy editing at it’s best… I’m too tired to care so here you go.

A few months back I got together with the crew at Theory Communications to shoot some of their newest “athletes” for the NOS Energy Drink brand. One of the most entertaining shoots of the week was definitely the Kennedy Brothers because of how laid back everyone and everything was. Anyways, below is a copy of the advertisement that’s running in Hot Rod Deluxe Magazine and Garage Magazine.

The second stop that Joanna and I made was the Crazy4Cult 2 gallery. The theme of the gallery was cult classics, which meant all sorts of good stuff like the Goonies, the Big Lebowski, Back to the Future, Office Space, Edward Scissorhands, The Shining, The Wizard of Oz, and who knows how many more.
Anyways, most of the art on display was great, some not so great but overall both galleries had a lot of really interesting stuff; hopefully I’ll be heading up to L.A. to some more galleries in the future.
