How about we get back to looking at some good old fashion photos, huh?? Yes, yes, I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted any photo sets on the site, but there’s a huge reason for that; I simply haven’t had the time to. The YouTube channel has been jampacked with videos the past few months because it is so much easier for me to churn out new Vlogs while I’m on the road. Editing video is a much easier process for me than processing photos because I’m much more picky about how I want my photos to look. I still shoot a lot, probably more than I have before, believe it or not—I also take more time going through the photos now because my tools have expanded as have my skills as a photographer. At the core of it, this site has always been about both the written content and the photos that accompany it. That’s still my focus. It just takes a lot of time to go through the photos, organize them, write copy, and post them here. I don’t know if you guys have ever done any type of blogging before, but it is incredibly time-consuming. I used to be able to post so much more simply because I wasn’t doing anything else. As I’ve gotten older, there is just so much more on my plate now. The Chronicles started-off as just a side project for fun and now it’s my main source of income. As such, I dedicate so much of my time to everything involved with making it sustainable…

Stancenation Japan G Edition Yamaguchi Coverage… Part 2…
Serious FOMO is setting in right now, especially since I’d normally be in Japan right now for Golden Week and the Wekfest Japan event. With this global pandemic still hitting some countries pretty hard, Japan in particular, the border remains closed to foreign visitors which means that I’m stuck here at home. Luckily I do have some content on reserve to show you guys as I await my eventual return. This particular set of photos is from the Stancenation Japan event in Yamauchi…which happened last year, lol. I showed you guys the first half last week and today, we’re gonna look at the rest. Some of these cars actually did make it to this year’s Wekfest Japan event so that’s kinda close enough to having WFJP coverage, so we’ll just have to be satisfied with that for now. There are some pretty cool builds in this set though, so please look through it thoroughly. Huge thanks to Yasu for attending this event and taking photos for me. He even conveniently made the photos look very similar to mine so the coverage looks pretty consistent with whatever I shoot. Enjoy and share if you dig it!…
Read MoreStancenation Japan G Edition Yamaguchi Coverage… Part 1…
I’ve conveniently left the year off of the title because I’m just gonna pretend that these photos aren’t from 2020 and Yasu didn’t just send these to me recently because he completely forgot to send them last year, lol. It’s okay though because no one expected to see photos from this event anyway!! Surprise!! Here are photos that Yasu captured during the Stancenation Japan G Edition Yamaguchi event that happened back in November…I think? There’s some really cool stuff in here and a very good amount of variety that you’d expect from a Stancenation event in Japan. They usually have so many cars that attend these events that you’re bound to see something you like just based on the numbers alone. Don’t let your hate of all things ‘stance’ prevent you from taking in some really good builds that just happen to be at an event dedicated to it. Variety is the spice of life, they say, so let’s get spicy!….

With all that’s been going on, these photos almost seem as if they were shot ages ago but it’s only been about a month since I returned from Japan. I honestly do miss Japan very much right now but with this pandemic not seemingly slowing down any time soon, it […]

The day after Attack Tsukuba, we headed straight to Yokohama to attend our first-ever Nostalgic 2Days event. We only had one more day in Japan before we flew back home to California, and there was honestly no better way to cap-off our incredible trip than to check-out some modified Japanese […]

Back now with some more photos from the annual Japanese Classic Car Show. This section has a bit of Honda-content to start but then we get right back into some of the really interesting Toyota and Nissan builds at the show. Looking back now, I think I might have missed-out […]

Every year I attend the Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach and every year I find myself questioning why the cars are getting newer and newer. Then that unsettling thought in my head reminds me that the cars arent getting newer—were all just collectively getting older. Its a classic […]

In the past year or so, Der has really gotten into film photography and collecting old/vintage cameras. He recently acquired a pretty massive collection of cameras which included some really old camcorders as well. Some were basically brand new old stock that were never used. For this year’s Japanese Classic […]

There was a good amount of Honda coverage in Part 1 of the 2018 Japanese Classic Car Show coverage, which is always weird to consider so many of those Hondas and Acuras classic cars now, but today, in Part 2, there are absolutely zero Hondas present. Not even in the […]

They say that variety is the spice of life and that also holds true for our ever-growing import automotive tuner community. I love seeing different builds of all makes and models so heading out to Illinois for the Offset Kings Showcase was a real eye-opener for me. I had no […]
