Droppin' bombs in Antioch

KABLAMM! Like in the aforementioned blog the car shoots just keep coming! This time Chris and I found ourselves at the Antioch Historical Society shooting a local classic car group called the Bay Bombs. I came across this group before the car-shooting erupted into what it is now. My objective was to hook another car shoot for e&b. My initial email to Janet was received and responded to but it took awhile to get our ducks in line. This past weekend was a culmination of a two month communique ending in an epic 8 car free for all! Talk about a work out. Both Chris and I ended the three hour shoot feeling like we'd run ourselves ragged at the gym. Between crouching and standing, flipping and rolling to get the coolest angles, we were tapped. The results equal, in our opinion some of our best work yet. A two person photography team? Booya!

Huge props to the Bay Bombs crew have to be given. These guys showed up in force with some of the coolest cars we could ever hope to shoot. Janet, our liason, even booked a pinup model. Thanks, Janet! It was like we had our own private car show. Look for the Bay Bombs at car shows throughout the Summer to view these cars for yourself. It would be worth the trip.

TSX shoot, and a fond farewell

Hi de ho,

Check it out! The car shoots keep on commin. This shoot was recently done thanks to a super nice person by the name of Ramon. The contact was done old school style, meaning I scribbled some greeting asking to shoot the car, please, with a business card and BAMO! Ramon was very thankful and flattered about the request and Chris and I set up the session at a great location. And that brings us to the fond farewell part. The location in question is 4th and Clay in Berkeley. At this intersection is a empty lot right next to a rather large building, and on the side of that building is some super tight street art. After Chris and I remembered we wanted to shoot a car there we went to check the location and see what kind of art was on the wall. We were stressed to find the beginnings of a cyclone fence, the car was able to get on to the lot but it looks like one of our favorite shooting spots is going to meet its demise as development spills into the area. Sniff, sniff good by graffiti wall we will always remember you fondly...

Stay cool,
Christian
