It’s crazy to think that Wekfest San Jose is already this coming weekend. This year has just flown by… One minute it seemed like I was perpetually on a plane back and forth to Japan and now we’re knee-deep in the West Coast show season. As explained in Part 1, I didn’t get a chance to shoot much during the morning of the Wekfest LA event because I wasn’t there. I really wish I was because it looked like a great event overall. We didn’t get to shooting until around the middle of the afternoon and with so much going on, we didn’t get a chance to walk the entire show like we had planned. Today, we’re going to be looking at some of the photos which we did capture, starting off with some shots from Tiffanie Marie and then some more from myself. Check it out and I’ll catch-up with everyone this weekend at the Northern California Wekfest event, which looks to be quite the promising one, being that it is the “Super Bowl” of car shows. I hope you all make it out. Come spend the day checking out some of the best cars in the country. I look forward to it. If you’re traveling from afar, safe travels, and if you’re local, you really have no reason to come out and show support to your fellow car enthusiasts…

Here we go with Part 2 of 2…
