From the Lens: Best of 2022 in Motorsports

Life can throw a bunch of curveballs and this year was a prime example. Especially, in my journey of trying to make this motorsports thing work. Instead of doing the usual Top 25 favorite photos as an open category, I’ve decided to split it into two parts. Why two? I don’t just cover racing when …

Game of Survival and Happiness: Putting Year 27 in the Rearview Mirror

People say “nobody likes you when you’re 23.” Take a step in my shoes, 27 can make a strong case of being the age nobody really likes you. The number 27 lives in infamy in music due to the large number of artists who perished and of course, the number that’s synonymous to Gilles Villeneuve, …

From the Lens: Best of 2021

If there’s one thing about 2021, I’m genuinely proud of my photos I took. After a miserable 2020, it was great being back on the road on a regular basis. Not only I’ve had the chance to cover events I’ve wanted to do for a long time, I actually adapted new techniques into my photography. …

Back to Square One: My Florida Speedweeks Venture

Some things remain the same and other things change. Best way to describe my 18 days in Florida with 13 of those were racing related. It’s Florida, man! A phrase that’s etched to me head, but it’s true. More so, the constant weather variations define the phrase. This isn’t a blog about how Florida weather …

All Aboard the Patreon Train

EVERETT, Wash. (January 7, 2021) – Entering my fourth season as an auto racing media writer and photographer, providing content for both Motorsports Tribune and The Podium Finish, I’m self-aware that at least the first half of 2021 will have greater challenges as a media journeyman due to the ongoing pandemic. I’ve thought real hard …

From The Lens: Best of 2020

“It’s still 2020!” – Kyle Busch (August 29, 2020) That peculiar phrase will go down as my personal takeaway on this putrid year. I’ve been over 2020 since May and tried my hardest to carry own. I wish I could tell you I’ve done several portrait photoshoots in the state of Washington and California, but …

One Year Later: Phoenix Reflection

When I called my last 2019 trip “My Road Ends Here,” little did I knew that title would ring different meanings because Phoenix has changed me in more ways than one. On a week everyone are either still waiting for one certain outcome to be determined or ready for 2020 to be over with, I …

I’m So Over This Hatred Filled Year

What I’m going to say is genuinely how I feel about this disturbing moment NASCAR are dealing with right now because this is no doubt the last thing the sport needs on what’s already been a hatred filled 2020. It left me wanting to punch something or lash out, but like I normally do. I …

Housing Puts Driving in the Rear View Mirror

Summertime is here and it’s typically my strongest period of the year. It’s where I strive to get stuff done like I know best – simply owning the competition and doing it with flair. Reunited with a waitress near Napa Valley a year after having our great encounter. I even explored new things that I wouldn’t …

List of Promises (Bi-Monthly Update): Striving to Get the Brand Rolling During Tough Winter Wars

Lot of emotions kicked into high gear during the final stages of winter, leading to conflicts and new levels of confidence of getting my brand launched, hoping it’ll lead to greater things in my road of “Getting Over” and live the dream on a regular basis. Man! I’m going to be honest with you guys, …
