While digging through thousands (okay, hundreds maybe) of my photos from this year, I came upon this conclusion: I need to either take way more photos or stop altogether. That being said, here is a compilation of not the greatest photos, but rather the greatest moments of 2011 that I happened to capture with my picture taking device.   Shown above is an upset Chinese toddler whose stupid mother purchased the wrong flavor instant soup.… Read More

Right in the middle of my Epic Thanksgiving Geoff and I shot down south for the Bob's Donuts Annual Day After Thanksgiving Trackday at Buttonwillow. I've been going to this event since 2005 but it's been happening way longer than that. It never fails to be one of the funnest trackdays of the year. Read More

Things are starting to heat up in Super-Am! This round was the biggest this season and it was full of surprises including upsets, setups, let downs, rock crawling, and celebrity appearances. The first surprise was Joe! He decided to stop by and hang out on his way up to Medford for Thanksgiving. Aww, how sweet!… Read More

I made my way back to the track and got there just in time for the first time attack session of the day. The racing surface had dried out and I finally got to see Chris Rado's new TC. I'm actually surprised they haven't banned the ridiculous front wing yet. I guess no one has complained about it yet, so he got to leave it on and set the Unlimited FF class record at 1:45.116. … Read More

Ahhh SEMA, that once a year excuse to go to Vegas that has nearly everyone in the automotive industry working overtime for weeks. The paint on some of the cars is only days old when they show up at the convention center, and the whole place is buzzing with news of all the new things happening in 2012. Read More

Here at Life Blasters we bring you a pretty wide variety of stuff. We're all photographers in the automotive industry, but this isn't about that. Sure we cover a lot of car events, but the essence of Life Blasting happens off the track, behind the scenes, on the way to or from an event, at your house, or on vacation. Life Blasting is about attacking life… Read More

So after our little escapade down in Portland, Justin, Geoff and I woke up at the crack of noon, very hungover, packed our shit in Geoff's S14 (no homo) and jammed up for Seattle for the driftings! It was as uncomfortable as you think. Geoff was a very busy man this event. On top of his regular spotting duties… Read More

This post contains the results of me shooting a roll of my favorite film, cheap-ass Fuji 800, and a roll of expired Kodak Gold 400 over the past week.  Saturday night Drew and I got a call from our friend Chloe who had just aced an important test for her major.  She wanted us to meet her at a spot really far from Hayward for drinks.  "They have a polar bear!"… Read More

Happy Holidays from everyone here at LifeBlasters!   You might be spending this three day weekend kicking back and enjoying some BBQ, and time with family & friends, but here at LifeBlasters and Lab17 the work never stops.  Today Drew and I put up drywall in the garage of his newly purchased home in Hayward, and now we're at the Lab working our butts off before tomorrow's TD ProAm Round 3.  We've made windshield banners, number plates, hard cards, LB… Read More

Drew and I first shot Jimi Hendrix at The Bistro in Hayward.  We had just left Buffalo Bill's and were skateboarding around looking for stuff to blast [and a place that served something besides beer and wine --Bohan], and we heard music playing.  We said to each other "Hmm, that sounds like Jimi Hendrix."  As we skated closer and peeked inside the venue we were in shock.  "Holy shit! It actually is Jimi!" Read More

  Ayala: So yeah, Formula Drift Long Beach was awesome! Aside from getting a ton of car footage and photos,… Read More
