Intersection: Cars Now!

I've shot a few things for Intersection Magazine in the past and when they asked me if I wanted to shoot the new Ferrari FF last summer for their new Taschen book collaboration, of course I said yes! It finally came out and it looks awesome in its 512 pages of glory. I have photos of the Ferrari and of a Camaro inside and the rear cover is also my photo.

My dad is an American!

My dad, Armin, became an American citizen yesterday!!!! He moved here from Germany 35+ years ago and has always talked about doing it. I'm super stoked for him. If any one calls him Sauerkraut one more time and he'll probably knock you out.
Welcome to America Dad!

The Fear

I've been working on lots of project the last year and this is one that I am especially proud of. It was written and directed by my good friend Benjamin Bertucci and I was the DP on it. Somehow Ben got me to "act" in it as well. I hope you all enjoy.

There are two very scary bills being brought through the House (Stop Online Piracy Act)and Senate (PROTECT IP Act). There is tons of backing from Hollywood, its unions, drug companies, and the Chamber of Commerce, it has the potential to pass. I urge you to read up on it, contact your local Representative, and sign the petitions. Follow the link below.
Thank you.

Day 25- Sacramento to Los Angeles.

390 miles.

End of the road.

Today was our last day. We left the Motel 6 early, there were beer cans strewn about from last nights parties. We loaded up and Rudi noticed that someone had stolen his left sidecover, the broken one, with the shitty Cartoon Network sticker. What dicks.
We took the 99 all the way back because the 5 is awful and we didn't have enough time to do Highway 49. It was pretty uneventful and kind of solemn, our epic journey was coming to an end. We grabbed lunch in Traver and split off shortly after, I cried a little bit and wished we could do this forever.
The rest of the ride was lonely and hot. I stopped for an iced beverage at the always packed Starbucks at the bottom of the Grapevine and continued my last leg.
I hit reserve coming down the Grapevine, but I didn't want to stop for gas. I have a 2 gallon reserve and wasn't worried, I had 80 miles to go. As I got into LA I could feel the cooler air, I also felt my bike dying. I ran out of gas! Luckily I was near the Hollywood Bowl, so I coasted into its driveway and used my spare 2 liters of fuel that I had carried on my entire trip. 5 more miles and I was home.

End of the road.

No photos today.

Day 25- Sacramento

We're all in Sacramento for the Landsquids moped rally and so far it's off to a great start. We ate breakfast and headed to the River to enjoy some sun and fun. The Landsquids really outdid themselves and built a massive waterslide into the river. It was so awesome.
After the hanging at the River all day we brought the party back to our hotel pool and continued to get wavy.
We finished the night off with a party at someone's garage. Rudi showed up from Tahoe and we crashed out early to get a nice start for tomorrow.
