At the Motel with Betty Nice



I've known local model/photographer Betty Nice for quite a while now.. Even worked a 9-5 with her for a few years, but not until a few months ago did we shoot. I told her to meet me at a local motel to see what we could capture...

(here are just a few of the photos we got)

Japan Trip - Yokohama pt. 2

The show began early Sunday morning.. Toshi & Shinya made sure we were up and had breakfast early so we could get to the show and begin taking more pictures and push some merchandise!
The crowd was no joke!
I was blessed to be able capture the show from up above!
I'm thankful that I had Frank, Yudai & Mira to help translate at the booth..
Boing!
I had a great time at the show talking to people (via Frank, Yudai & Mira) After the show Shinya packed us all in the van and we were off to grab dinner & celebrate our accomplishments!
Monday morning we woke up to early and watched as some Nagoya bikers rode away..
We stopped by the Moon Cafe to grab lunch (just like many show goers did)

Japan Trip - Yokohama pt.1

to say that Mooneyes knows how to throw a car show is a HUGE understatement. The Mooneyes Rod & Custom Show in Yokohama is by far one of the best shows I've ever been to. Not sure if it's because it was my first show over seas or the people I hung out with or the amazing cars... I think a little bit of all that!
it was amazing to watch the "Next Movie" 62 Impala cruise into the show hammered on the ground. Keiji aka Hong Kong is a bad ass.. More on his Impala on deadendmagazine.com soon!
I can't explain how awesome it felt to see people wearing Deadend gear!
On set-up day it was cool to watch how detailed the Japanese are.
Not paint.. Crazy stuff!
It was good to see familiar/Salinas faces in Japan showing off their talent.
