Composite Mobara Twin Circuit soukoukai day x

Night time captures x

Capturing the soul of the street. A place where nothing else really matters, where all your focus as a driver, spectator or even an outsider like myself trying to be discreet with a camera is so strongly drawn into what is happening at that exact moment. Captures such as this really define why I spend months working and saving to travel. I am still so fortunate that during this day and age it is possible to completely freeze a moment and look back on it years and years to come and never get old. No matter what, a single photograph will always tell a story, no matter how long, short, lame, exciting it may be. Photography is without a doubt one of the most amazing things invented, period.

れいめいドリフト。If there was one up to date image that summed up my travels, experiences and my feelings towards Japan, this would top it off. It’s one thing to have such a strong interest in the Japanese culture and the crazy car scene that is surrounded in such a tight, busy city however it is a completely different experience to have it come true after decades of reading, researching and watching media thrown all over the internet, not to forget old VHS’ and DVD’s. Shooting meets, drift, circuit days are still of course an adrenaline pump although one thing I’ve come to realise with my travels to Japan the past 3 years is that the excitement and thrill will always get you when you least expect it. The fact that every time I step off into Japanese soil there are so many things running through my mind every other possible thought that was processing a few minutes ago has completely vanished and that pump doesn’t stop until I board the flight home. That is what gives me the drive, motivation to work because at the end of the day it is all worth it and I have images such as this to showcase to the rest of the world. 12 weeks out~ Casey x
