You know that feeling when you witness something special for the first time? It penetrates your senses where it leaves a permanent desire. A desire that needs to be fed, that grows over time. It makes you curious and you start a hunt to feed that desire. It’s like a drug because if you’re not careful it will become an addiction.
I guess I haven’t been careful enough because my desire has turned into a full fledged addiction! Continue reading

2K13 recap – A hell of a ride!
2013 was no different for me than for anyone else. Changes, decisions, choices, a fork in the road. Call them what you want but we all have to make them, positive or negative. As far as photography and blogging goes, 2013 was a year with a couple of major decisions! I made the hard choice to leave 7Tune for various reasons and made the rather easy one of joining Wangan Warriors. Two choices I both don’t regret! Continue reading
Raising the bar: The home stretch
It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my favorite project in Holland. Now that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been busy following Rik and his gorgeous S14 Zenki! In fact, I’ve been visiting him quite regularly since my last post and I can tell you; Rik has been a busy lad. Continue reading
Spotting sushi in the Big Apple
New York. The Big Apple. The American dream in the flesh. A trip to this city has been in the top 10 of my bucket list for a long, long time. But it has been in the top 3 of my sisters bucket list even longer! So when I turned thirty last July, she decided it was time to take the plunge and buy us some tickets for my birthday. It was supposed to be a car free holiday but hey… You know me! Continue reading

Car feature: Double trouble
I love doing feature shoots. Getting to know people, making friends and finding out what drives them to do what they do. And I’ve got to thank that little black light capturing device for that! However, the thing I love the most about doing features is the story your subject for day has to tell. In this case two subjects! And I think I’ve got a nice story to tell… Continue reading

Raising the bar – An introduction
We like cars. We like people who work on cars. But we love people who build their cars. Who put their own time, blood, sweat and tears into their cars. So there’s a new entry on the blog:
Raising the bar. Raising the bar will be all about builds that we think are, well, raising the bar! Of course there are enough projects out there that are well executed but the cars that will be featured in raising the bar are not your average projects. These cars (and their owners) deserve their own feature in a special kind of way. So what are builds that are raising the bar? Continue reading

One of the biggest (and best) event in Holland mainland Europe is about to kick of. Just like last year the un-official start is the pre-meet on Friday evening. And if the DMPD pre-meet is a marker for the main event on Saturday we are in for a treat! Continue reading
