Honda Tuning : "Almost a Feature"

A few months back I was visiting family and friends in Flagstaff when my brother, Ian, approached me about taking some pictures for Honda Tuning. He basically explained that the Editor of HT had expressed interest in giving him a Grassroots feature in an upcoming issue. I had the majority of my camera gear with me and we had all of about 30 minutes to grab some photos... so we drive a few blocks from my Mom's house, park the Type R behind a vacant department store and try to make use of the high-noon sunlight and a few flash units. I'll be the first to say that the published photos are not my best work but considering the time and location constraints we made do.

I had seen past Grassroots features and its more or less a glorified readers rides - A photo or two and quick spec list. Upon cracking open this months Honda Tuning at Barnes and Nobles I was pleasantly surprised to see three photos of Ian's car and a small article taking up an entire page. One headline reads "Almost a Feature"... which gives me hope that with a little better photos and a few more changes to the ITR and we'll have a full feature on our hands!

Knowing that my photos will be exposed to so many people is a great feeling, a sense of accomplishment... I could have never imagined seeing my photos in a magazine that I've been reading since High School. And a huge congrats to Ian on getting his car in HT, I know its always been a dream that we've shared for a long time so being able to get my photos and his car on one page is pretty awesome.
