Back again with another car shoot – this time it’s the Tjin Edition Chevrolet Camaro 1LE that was designed and built for the 2012 SEMA Show.

Although I’ve been over photographing cars since the HCI Magazine (yes, that’s a MySpace link!,) I actually don’t mind shooting one from time to time. Seeing what some of the current “automotive photographers” put out really makes me want to get back to shooting but then I remember how quickly I got burnt out doing it. There are a handful of guys out there, and when I say handful, I probably mean like one or two, who’s work I actually enjoy looking at like Sean Klingenhoefer but other then that, that’s kind of it. One thing I do miss is the traveling side and meeting new people side but other than that, that’s kind of it.

Anyways, enough rambling. About the build, some quick modifications are the custom DuPont paint, Vortech Superchargers blower, one-off Rotiform wheels, custom Katzin interior, Scosche audio components and more. At SEMA, the Camaro was awarded the always coveted GM Design Award for “Best GM Sports Car” as well as “Best New Performance Product” by the GM Design Team.

OK, enough typing, enjoy the pictures – and for more things Tjin Edition, be sure to follow along on Facebook at facebook.com/tjinedition and Instagram at instagram.com/tjinedition.

As usual, we took the annual trip to Los Angeles for the LA Auto Show since Neil’s Camaro was on display in the Kentia Hall downstairs. We took the kids to run around and look to look at things… obviously I don’t feel like writing about an auto show so feel free to scroll down and look at the pictures.

With that, I’ve had the chance to go on a few adventures and shoot some pretty cool stuff, including going out to Chuckwalla Raceway with Carbon Revolution.

Below are some pictures of an Audi R8 that we test fit some wheels on at the shop as well as our day at the track, enjoy!

A few months late on this but I’m going to do my best to play catch up regardless of what’s been going on (and you’ll soon see why it’s been busy, if you don’t know me.) For those of you that have stuck around, thanks!

Anyways, the first update of almost fifteen that I’m behind is Thanksgiving… yes, the Thanksgiving that takes place in November. Enjoy!

It’s been a yearly tradition for the last few years to take the kids down there to run around, ride some rides and just hang out and as usual and this year my dad and mom were able to join us.
