Road Atlanta is a lot of people's favorite track. Personally, I like it because of all the colors and the lack of fences. That makes it an easy place to shoot. It's a favorite for fans because of the layout. Instead of parking your car, walking hella far, and sitting in your seat, you can drive your car almost right up to the track, have a tailgate party, set up a canopy, bring your own chairs and a cooler, and chill. For the drivers, they like the fact that it's an actual road course as opposed to an oval or…

Once a year, the music festival Coachella comes to Indio California packing a powerful
lineup for the tens of thousands of event goers. Tickets sell out months before the event date and people from around the world come to congregate for 3 days of fun in the sun. My significant other, Brooke, and I decided come out for this year's event. …

On Saturday morning in Long Beach, the drivers, crews, media, staff, and fans gathered next to the convention center to see who would take home the season's first win. Could Justin Pawlak do it two years in a row? Would 2011 champ Daijiro Yoshihara continue his momentum and take the win? Would Chris Forsberg's new 370 be a help or a hindrance in its first competition?…

After a quick off-season full of rumors and anticipation, we finally got to see everyone's cards on the table. Daigo Saito's entry into Formula D was one of the most talked-about subjects but there were plenty of other changes too.

If you're a die hard Life Blasters fan, (let's face it - who isn't?) you already know that thanks to the help of
Samuel Mercado of
Attackworks Clothing, mine and Joe's vision of zombie unicorns on fire is now a reality. Sam went far above our expectations with this design and we are ecstatic to finally release the t-shirts. Last Saturday, we made a visit to the…

Last Sunday marked the opening day for 2012 drift season at
Pat's Acres Racing Complex, commonly known as PARC, hosted by
Loki Motorsports. In addition to this, it would also be the first time that the track's new extensions would be driven on. Having these new extensions would help the track have a better flow for the avid drift enthusiasts that regularly attend. …

As some of you know, our long awaited Tandem of Die x Attack Works Zombie Unicorn t-shirts have finally come in. Justin and I had planned to hire a model to wear our shirt in a photoshoot to help promote it.

Ryan Davis was kind enough to let use…

Mission Peak, above Fremont, is one of the Bay Area's most accessible mountain hikes. It's by no means the highest peak, but it's on the first ridge out of the basin so you can see the entire Bay Area from the summit. I hadn't been up to the top in almost a year, so I asked Joe if he wanted to go on a hike!

The cars are cool, but for us, it's usually the people that make an event fun and memorable. Wekfest is usually the first event of the year where we get reunited with our out-of-town photog buddies and see all our local friends in one place.

It's February, and that means Wekfest! It's one of the only car shows any of us go to, so we're making this coverage huge! The show was at Fort Mason for the second time, but I still miss the old days when it was in Japantown. Oh well, times change, so without further ado...

I decided I wanted to go shoot some snowboarding, and Joe likes to go snowboarding, so we went up to Sierra at Tahoe for a day of fun. I used to ski, but I'd never snowboarded before, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

The weather was perfect at Tahoe. A storm had just come through in the preceding days, dumping…

A couple of nights ago, I went down to my old high school, Cascade Christian, to watch the Challengers play the Lakeview Honkers. To clear any confusion, the Challengers are Cascade's mascot. It's hard to believe that six years have already gone by since I played ball here. Time has certainly flown by. Lots of the players on the team are the younger brothers of my old teammates, and some of my teammates are even coaches!…

The fifth and final round of the '11-'12 Super-Am season can only be summed up in one word: awesome. The first four rounds were single-run competitions and the top four unseeded drivers from each round were seeded for this final tandem round. The winner of Round 5 would win the entire series, with the grand prize…

I don't know what we'd do without Facebook. On Friday our friend (who just happens to be an officer on the Oakland Police Department) posted a flyer about this protest event called "March Against Repression: Fuck OPD" and said "Here we go again."
