Excellent Shoot WIth Hauser Riley

Hauser Riley before we began shooting

Had an amazing shoot with the gorgeous Hauser Riley and a very bad ass dirt track inspired roadster. Of course I can't post pics because it was for a magazine shoot. Top secret and all that. I can say that Hauser killed it, with legs that went on for days and a smile that lit up the room. We shot over 1,000 pics in just a few hours and Jan, Doug & Dean and all their family were super accommodating with their car and shop. One of the best sets I've ever shot in record time!

I also grabbed some video footage so some of Hauser will make it into Rats & Gassers & Go-Kustom TV.

New Article In Ol' Skool Rodz

I have an article in the new issue of Ol' Skool Rodz- featuring model Cara Mia and Steve Leary's survivor '36 Ford. Though I've written dozens of articles for OSR and CKD this is only my third in which I took the pics and wrote the piece. It was hard as hell shooting a black car on a sunny day... 

Four Season Pin-Up Calendar Shoot (Even More Pics)

These behind the scenes pics from last Sundays shoot for Rats & Gassers were taken by Cameron Harris.

Four Season Pin-Up Calendar Shoot (And More Pics)

Four Season Pin-Up Calendar Shoot

 This was monumental! We shot four rides ( two gassers and two rat rods) with four pin-up models, in the middle of winter and on the tail end of the biggest Northwest snow storm in recent memory. This was for a four season shop calendar in which we documented the whole process for my new film Rats & Gassers: Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride. The amazing Tina Tang, of Parris Blue Photograph, shot the gals and cars at GodSpeed Fabrication in Auburn, Washington. For us, this was an hour plus road trip. The roads were clogged with downed power lines and trees just a few blocks from the shop- and after being scolded by an Over-Caffeinated-Agro-Cop, we turned around and took an unmarked detour for the last few miles to GodSpeed. My wife and Cameron Harris came as film crew. A few night before we were going to cancel, because of the extreme weather. Things had thawed out just enough to make the trip to Auburn.  The models were Kitty Mansfield, Aly Hellcat, Kissable Kandie and Stiletto Sweetheart. The cars were Big Tom & Carla McDonald's '56 T- Bird, Steve Mallory's '62 Oldsmobile Wagon, Robb Newby's International Rat Truck and Dave Leibold's Ford Rat Truck. Dave came through at the last minute when another car owner couldn't make it because he was still snowed in. These guys and gals drove in very iffy conditions to get to make this happen. I am humbled by everyones effort to pull this off!
I will add more pics and still later.
