Wekfest San Jose 2021 Coverage… Part 1…
Top to bottom, in terms of overall car quality, this might be the best San Jose Wekfest we’ve ever had. I know that sounds a bit outrageous but you have to consider the level of cars that are being built in 2021. Coming into the event, we already had about 10 cars that were definitely going to win an award in the higher-tiered categories. It was just a matter of where we were going to place each car. It’s pretty crazy. In the past, there were probably 1-3 that were going to be up for contention for “Car of the Festival”, which is our version of the best of show, but never was there this much competition. I don’t know if it had to do with timing, since SEMA had just happened a few weeks before or because everyone had so much time off to work on their cars due to the pandemic, but people have really stepped it up. I’m happy to see it. I think through out the last year or so, I had been looking forward to just getting back on the road and doing car shows again. There was hope that there would be some new car builds on the horizon, but I didn’t really know what to expect. It just felt nice to be outside doing car shit again. In the past few months, we did back-to-back shows with Seattle and Los Angeles but there was added pressure to make San Jose good because it was the ‘big’ one…

I really had no idea I shot so many photos this time around in Japan. Granted I was there for almost two weeks but I don’t even remember having my camera on my that much. I didn’t shoot much or at all while I was in Hong Kong but then […]

I honestly can’t recall a period of time in the last few years when I’ve used my Canon dSLR as much as I have in my first few months of 2019. Hopefully crap—I’ve shot a SHIT TON of photos already this year. ‘Inspired’ would be a good word to use […]

One of the things that I really enjoy about the Osaka Auto Messe show is how the individual halls of the event are all specifically categorized based on what you want to see. Where Tokyo Auto Salon is just a huge melting pot of Japanese car culture, it can sometimes […]

The concept of taking all these photos and documenting all these experiences is that they will have a long-lasting effect in the bigger overall ‘picture‘ (no pun intended) of the worldwide automotive tuning community. I want not only myself, but you as a viewer to be able to pull these […]

So much has been going on lately that Japan almost feels like ages ago. I guess that makes sense since January always feels long as fuck but admittedly, I think I’m getting a bit worn out with all this traveling I’ve been doing lately. After coming back from my Tokyo […]

It’s currently 4:17 AM, I’m half asleep but also still need to pack for Hawaii, so I’ll just go ahead and leave these photos for you here to view. As mentioned in Part 1, I decided to take a different approach this year with my photos from Japan. Instead of […]

I love Japan. I really do. I don’t think there’s really anything else that needs to be said. Most of the time I feel like I just use Tokyo Auto Salon as an excuse to go back so I can hang out in Japan with my friends. It’s funny because […]
