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. Read More
2012 Formula D rookie Josh Kravitz got engaged over the summer, and he and his fiance asked me to do an engagement shoot for them. They live in the mountains northwest of Santa Cruz so we picked a few spots along the ocean in that area. The first location is one of their favorite places, the strawberry fields just north of Davenport. Read More
Since Columbus Day a few weeks ago, protestors have set up camp in major cities all over the nation. The group of protestors in San Francisco has been organizing demonstrations every Saturday, so Drew and I decided to jump on the BART and check out what it was all about. Read More
Living in Oakland I'm just a short drive across the bay bridge and over the hills to the beaches of my hometown, Half Moon Bay. Yesterday my friend enlightened me to the fact that there is a beach on the east side of the bay, and since it was hot and gross outside we went to Alameda to check it out. It was a little bit smoggy, but the view was very interesting. A beach with San Francisco in the background? Awesome. … Read More
Our friend, who shall remain nameless, was kind enough to let us shoot her with a LifeBlasters sticker pastie a few months ago. We published the picture momentarily, but being a booth model for a high profile company, it got her in big trouble! Now, a few months later she has left the company in search of bigger and better things, so guess what that means for us? Post time! Dear friend, we wish you the best of luck in your new ventures! Cheers! -G … 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
After a last minute engine-out job on my S14 at Luke Lonberger's shop, Blu808, I was ready for the trip to FD Evergreen. I started the voyage by picking up my blaster pal Joe Ayala at his swanky apartment in San Francisco at 6:00am on Tuesday. The first… 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
Formula Drift's 4th round was another crazy one for me. Working with the Kado crew meant an awesome road-trip to cover, and another event of not being able to shoot while Ryan is driving due to my spotting for him. In addition, the weather gods made the trip very interesting both at the track, and out on the open road. Check out Bohan's news flash from right after the storm hit… Read More
Waking up the morning after Olympia, my foot was in bad shape. It was super swollen and needless to say, painful. Jay is a highly skilled ninja, and took it upon himself to make sure I was doing everything I could to heal quickly, and I can't thank… Read More
After the excitement of FD Florida was over, Ryan, Ry, and I headed out with Tram and Grady to grub on some Cuban food in Miami and check out the legendary South Beach for a photo shoot with Ryan.When we got to the… Read More
Whew! The past 2 months have been non-stop excitement for me, and the LB crew in general. As you can see in the above picture, I was not only LifeBlasting, I was working for young pro drifter Ryan Kado as a spotter. Business Geoff. This post is going to be a little weird... I initially thought to just do a text-free photoblog ala Larry… Read More
Life Blasters was born in Yosemite National Park, 1/3 of way between San Francisco and Las Vegas on a road trip to Formula DRIFT. It's drifting season again, and that means road trip season. Here's the first one. Pitts: We set out from Lab17 in Drew's trusty Camry only to find dead stopped traffic on 580 due to a pretty awesome looking accident (pictured below). Little did we know the long road ahead was littered with accidents, weather, and other excitement. … Read More
Pitts: Kia and Erika left our group after we were done at Rudy's, and Joe, Drew and I continued on to San Francisco. We stopped by Art's place in the Tenderloin, where we waited 15 minutes for him to come outside. Drew and I were in the CRX and Joe was in his truck, neither was a vehicle with which Art was familiar, so he stayed behind his gate where we couldn't see him, and his phone was upstairs charging so he wasn't getting our texts like "dude hurry… Read More
Hello, everyone! I'm Justin Shreeve, writing on behalf of myself and Joe Ajalealaa a. We take pictures and video of stuff sometimes and it's awesome. Hi guys, This is Joe now. Justin is over writing. This weekend, I made plans to shoot some drifting up at Pacific Grand Prix in Kent, Washington. On the way up, I stopped by Justin's place. We got up this morning and headed out to do some skating. Here is Justin… Read More
