For years, I have wanted to do a shoot with snow flying. A few weekends ago I had a couple of friends over for a night of Fast and Furious movies and some beers, and that morning we were sitting around looking for something to do. The night before had…
Along with the Mustang, Model T, and the F150, I would put the corvette on the Mount Rushmore of most American cars. Even as a small kid, I understood the importance of the car. However, never having owned one myself, I was not fully aware of the true history of…
I have known Brandon for a few years now. He was one of the most instrumental members of Midwest Automotive in its early days. Without him and his work, Midwest Automotive would not have the following that it does. When I posted to Facebook that I wanted a few cars…
When Andrew Smith reached out to me at the beginning of this year, I have no idea that my Automotive photography would land me here as a regular contributor. I've been able to watch my photography grow. The people I've meet this year have become some of my best friends…
2019 was a busy year for me. In addition to re-starting Midwest Automotive, I took multiple cross country road trips to Yellowstone, Colorado, Nashville, and Charleston. I finished the modifications to my Mustang, did some burnouts, and started planning for my first track day. To say that it was a…
Damn, do I love to shoot cars at night. Actually, I love night photography generally. Most of my non-automotive work centers around nightscapes of one form or another. But that passion is even stronger with cars. There's something about the way the paint pops, the colors shift slightly, and the…
We all have friends who find their niche in car culture. Some are heavily invested in old school muscle cars, some in lifted trucks, and some in stanced JDM vehicles. Many people do venture out and try new things as they grow, but for some it is just weird to…
Ever since getting into automotive photography I've wanted to do themed/holiday inspired shoots. The only problem for us in the Midwest is that we always seem to put our projects away for this time of year. The weather just happened to cooperate for a day where I was able to…
I’m standing there looking at what may possibly be the largest American Flag that I have ever seen. It’s hanging on the wall, stretching from floor to ceiling. It's easily over 12ft tall. Directly behind me there are a few dozen computer work stations setup in a collaborative style. I…
A few weeks back I got the special opportunity to shoot at Tuner Evolution. The media team reached out and asked if I would be interested in covering the event. I promptly jumped at the opportunity. This was the third year the show came to Chicago and it would be…
We often get so wrapped up in prepping for shows, track days and cruises that we tend to forget about the most important element of this hobby; driving the cars regularly. Andrew and I decided to take a day to enjoy driving our cars. I met up with Andrew at…
The Weathertech International Challenge with Brian Redman presented by HAWK. The Weathertech International Challenge is an event that I mark on my calendar every year. From a fans perspective, it is a much more laid back event where you get to experience a wide variety of cars. There is a little…
