POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A little explanation on the new account for those who know me,

Both of my accounts were compromised in Dec '25 & with zero support whatsoever I had no choice but to start fresh, losing a decade worth of photos, writing, memories & connections ruined the want to be back here truthfully, after a break from social media in general I came to the conclusion if I do want to continue making something for myself I can't just give up when I'm setback by situations like this, I started focusing more on writing & not solely my photography in 2019, I believe it's time to rewrite my own story.

I look at this as a new opportunity, a way to start fresh & potentially create something new for myself, I apologize to anybody who received messages during the compromise or anyone I haven't been able to contact in the last year.

it'll stick primarily to automotive as it's always been, I'll be sharing trip/miscellaneous photos through highlights in the future, I thought it'd be fitting to start sharing more in detail about the cars I work on, what I drive & continuing to write about obsecure cars & their stories, something I wasn't posting as much before.
I'm happy to be sharing my passion again.

Here's a couple of horizontal images, a format I never really shot often, from #montereycarweek 2025, a favorite being the '56 200SI, that's at least what everybody is calling it. This is chassis 1665, originally a 150S with a strange history, a thesis being 1665 was restamped as 2404 & converted to 200S specs by Fiandri, in the car shows a plaque, 1665 150S, Barchetta CC shows the car renumbered from 2404 to 1665 in '57, engine 2404 ended up in a powerboat according to the Italian car registry P247, While I'm not 100% certain it makes for a cool story.
If this is 2404, it dnf'd at the '57 24Hr Le mans & attended 2 Millie miglias before becoming more of a confusing showpiece. taken in Carmel, California by @awkbphotos
