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.

きっずはあとスカイラインでエビスサーキット祭り。This was definitely an afternoon to remember on my last trip to Japan. Spending the Saturday of the Spring Matsuri sitting at the South 南 Course watching girl drifter Rei Shinmi-San all the way from Nagoya, Kansai making the most of the open track as the sun was setting behind the mountains of Ebisu. 6 weeks x

Rolling up to Higashi YZ Circuit for a MSC round I didn’t really expect what cars were going to be in the paddock. Walking around the pits at MSC is always put stress on the brain, there are so many bright and colourful cars you don’t know where to look or point the camera. In the mist of all the cars I saw two stupidly low R32 Skylines, yep, R32 Low Down Style. This crew has been around since I was 2 years old, 1993 to be exact. For so many years I have watched, admired and dug through so many archives to try and find more and more photos of these cars so this day was literally a dream come true. Unfortunately the main car, this one above did one warm up lap and had some issues for the car which made him forfit for the day. That however didn’t stop him from driving home. This is basically the only photo I got of him on the circuit but I have a few of him exiting the event. x

This Mark II was one of my favourite cars in Kanto x
