I had the very fortunate honor of being a guest with Chris Forsberg and his team for the 5th Formula D round in Seattle. I had the opportunity to follow and document the day of competitions with Chris. The day started with Chris rubbing the crusty from his eyes, to the day-to-day race operations, then a quiet moment of self reflection with him and his
Somehow a week has already passed since Formula Drift Seattle, and that means it's time for me to gear up for tomorrow's trip to downtown Los Angeles for the Nisei Showoff gathering. Before moving onto the ultra-fashionable SoCal car show scene though, I need to post up my last set of drifting photos from the good old Pacific Northwest. Here
The long weekend in Seattle for Formula Drift Rd. 5 turned out to be a mixed bag for the Falken drift team. Over the course of the two days, the team experienced everything from blown engines and destroyed drift cars to a podium finish. Such ups and downs are what make auto racing exciting, and it was quite an experience observing the team over the
I just returned home to the blazing hot confines of California, and now it's time to dig in and take a closer look at the action from the weekend's Formula D event in Seattle.

After another exciting round of compeition, it was Chris Forsberg in the NOS Energy Drink 350Z who emerged as the day's victor. This was Forsberg's second win of the year, and he should be getting a nice boost
You can feel that there is an air of suspense throughout the Formula D paddock during Friday's practice and qualifying. And for some reason you just feel that today's top thirty-two event will somehow go down into the history books as an epic event. With a 30% chance of rain, it could spell trouble for some teams or be a complete blessing. Personally
Just got back to the hotel after spending the day at Evergreen Speedway shooting Formula Drift Seattle. It's absolutely refreshing to be up here in the cool and green Pacific Northwest after getting accustomed to the hot and dry events we have back in California. Well then, let's jump right into some of the action from today- Taka Aono seemed
There's been a lot of business to take care of at our office in Vancouver for the past few months, so it's been a little while since I've been in the field with a camera... But that all changed today as we just shot at two rather different automotive scenarios, each within a few miles of one another. It all started a week or so ago, when
