UtahHondas.net Spring meet

UtahHondas.net had their 4th annual spring meet on 3/28, and I was there. I wasn't too happy, but damnit I showed up! And early too.

Over 300 cars and 900 people showed up. Now, I could show you the cars I shot, but there weren't that many good cars and you've seen most of them. Instead I'm posting people and other random pictures. Hell, that the reason I go to these damn things: to talk to my friends.


Dave's Starion/Trans Am/944/Firebird/FC


Micah loves his EG


It's easy to see why he does


This pretty much sums up the meet


Jordan and...umm...yeah...


Kyle's getting that shit tattooed on him


He's got a fight in April. I think it's going to ruin his modeling career


THAT'S A FUCKING QUARTER!!!


I dunno why, but I really like this photo


Hi Tony!


Hi Tony and Chase!


Mike AKA Grizzly fucking Adams


Grizzly and some guy sitting on Jordan's car


The two dudes looking into the camera are Dave, master of the ghetto arts, and Jerry, the guy who did all of the cooking and most of the setup.

It was good times. If you wanna see the car pics click here.

Filmicly Film

Went to Sam's yesterday and scanned some old film and slides. Each photo has a story behind it. Feel free to ask, but don't complain if it isn't the story you want.










I miss shooting film, I should do it more

UtahHondas.net December 2009 COTM

BOOM3R's Del Sol VTEC




I approached him about doing the shoot as soon as he was announced the winner. He was down, but there was one problem: the car was in winter mode and wasn't coming out of it until...well, earlier this month. Thankfully winter ended, and we were able to shoot.

Underneath the hood is a JDM B16 SIR-II swap. The valve cover was black, but now it's gold thanks to UnknownCoatings.com. The intake is a Password:JDM Carbon Fiber chamber intake, aka the whale penis. Spent gasses are sent out via a Kidd Racing narrow header, through a custom 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust and finally out through an Apex'i World Sport 2 muffler. AEM light weight pulleys help the engine spin better, and a 255lph Walbro fuel pump in conjunction with an AEM fuel rail make sure the JDM mill doesn't get thirsty.




The outside of the car has been accented properly with carbon fiber. Lots of it. Not Science of Speed CF NSX amounts, but a good amount nonetheless. The carbon touches include: the Seibon wing, the hood, the door sills, sail garnish, and rear garnish. Tasteful, not over powering, clean.




The car rolls not on the stock wheels, not on actual TE37's, but knock off TE37's. Is this a problem for some? Yes, but those who see this as a problem AREN'T myself or Thayne, the owner of this Sol. His 15 inch faux TE's are shod in Yokohama S.drive's.




We've talked about everything else, now let's talk about something I thoroughly enjoy: suspension! The car is lowered on TEIN SS springs. A Beaks rear tie bar in conjunction with a 23mm sway bar out back and a VTEC upper strut tower bar in the front keeping the chassis from flexing too much. A Skunk2 camber kit prevents the Yokohama's from getting chewed up too much too soon.




The rest of the photos from the shoot can be seen here. And now, for your viewing pleasure, are some bonus shots:

Miller

Miller Motorsports Park is one of my favorite places to shoot. It's a big road course with plenty of picture-esqe turns, and most of the time when I'm out there there's SOMETHING ELSE equally interesting to shoot. I went out there for a Wide Open Wednesday event and there were ALMS GT class cars in the paddock getting ready to turn practice laps. It's great. And I never go out there alone. I'm always with my friends. It's like an oasis out there: good friends, amazing cars, memorable times.










I'm going out there tomorrow to shoot photos of the drifter kids. Gonna be a good day

Herc goes to Starbucks

This is a little video I made when I worked at Gracie's. I made it one night after I finished my shift. Jordan Porritt came down to help, and he brought some people with him.

The video stars Lil Herc, a small foam rubber guy I got at SEMA last year. I posted some twitter updates with him in them, so naturally I decided to see if he could make the transition to being a film star.

So here, for your viewing pleasure, is Herc's acting debut:

Neighborhood

Some people say I don't get out enough. That's bullshit. If I don't get out of my house, then who's gonna get the mail?

Caption this

Give me your best caption for this photo:



This isn't a contest cause I'm too poor for prizes. There are no winners, just people who recognize awesome and those who don't

Aquarium

On Saturday Sam told me to come to Guth. As I was pulling in he told me it was closed (it wasn't) and that I should go to Sandy. So I did.

Got to Sandy, hung out with Sam and waited for Jovi, Glenn and Garrison to get there. When they got there they proceeded to warm up. When they got warmed up we talked about where to go street skating. We wound up going to the aquarium.


It was kinda rugged, so Glenn and Garrison did some prep work


Glenn got something


So did Jovi


Garrison didn't land anything...


...but he got something

I'm debating on whether or not to post the photo of what he got. I'm not gonna say what it was, but it involves Sam following through on something he said he'd do as we were leaving.
