Since all the important newspapers, magazines and blogs post their end-of-year reports, I thought I'd join the festivities with something slightly less relevant: my favorite shot of the year. It didn...
I never posted this shot before. Mostly because I was hoping to have it published together with some other pics I took that day – but it didn't make it. So, here it is for you to enjoy. An example of...
I thought I'm fully aware of the impact wheels have on the look of a car. But I keep getting blown away everytime I see the transformation that can be done by simply putting on different wheels and t...
Stoked to see some of my work in issue 24 of the french PowerGlide Magazine. Coming soon...
The Lowtech headquarter recently moved to sunny San Clemente, California. And if you're familiar with this part of the planet, you know that it's got the perfect climate for well aged automobiles. Yo...

Finally I found some time to upload my favorite shots from the big Mooneyes X-mas Party. If you like them, there's more in the slideshow. Now we're ready for the holiday season. Click here for the sl...
Just got home from my first Mooneyes X-Mas Party. Damn that was a lot of cars, but the best part was meeting a lot of old friends and making new friends. More pics coming soon.
As I probably stated before on this blog: I don't like swap meets. But the Long Beach Swap Meet could make me think over my opinion. Maybe at least a little bit. It's got a good size, there are some ...
Early in the morning at the Veterans Memorial Stadium, Long Beach. More to come soon.
Car shows are like soda. Sometimes they taste okay and they even pretend to quench your thirst but you still feel like you're missing out on something. And if you had too much of it, you start feelin...

Finally – here are a couple more of my Bakersfield photos. I don't have much time right now as I'm in the process of moving but the guys at at&t hopefully are working hard on my internet access. Find...
Another one from the Hot Rod Reunion 2012 at Famoso Raceway, Bakersfield.
Whether you're at a car show, a race or a cruise... when everything feels just so damn right, you might experience it: the moment. Maybe it's after a long day and you're shooting the shit with your b...
Just returned from my first time at the California Hot Rod Reunion at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield. A whole lot of great entertainment but now I need some sleep. In the meantime, check out my improm...
I'm not a big fan of turning recent pictures into black and white. But this one came out pretty ok and reminded me of those road tests in some 1950s car magazines.
It probably was the first time in my life that I experienced 99 degrees fahrenheit in mid-october. But it felt good, especially at the reencounter with that 1953 Chevrolet Kustom.
Getting used to californian car shows takes some time. They start so early, they're over by the time a european show would've even started at all. But that's actually a good thing. One gets out of be...
This right here is what I love about California. On a plain old boring wednesday, in a small town, on a random avenue, sitting in front of bar... a 1953 Chevy kustom. A good start on my current trip ...
Chris Casny's chopped shoebox cruising down sunset boulevard. Shot is from early summer 2011.
Even with the shade of the tree messing up the side of the car, I like the vibe of this picture. It's Jake's 1953 Chevy Coupe chopped by Kyle Phillips. The photo is two years old.
