Autumn Is Here!

/ highwaystardoritos / Leave a comment

Well, not the Autumn you’re thinking about, but it’s just as cool looking. Just 3 weeks ago I traveled all the way to North Miami to take delivery of my first real luxury vehicle. A beautiful full serviced records Black on Black 2010 Audi A4 Avant Quattro, fully loaded, navi, hdd audio system, sport package. I really did find the avant of my dreams. It’s been through the oil consumption recall so with only 50k miles it has a brand new motor.

Of course the mod list was already started, Air Ride, Wheels, Grill, CF Front Spoiler, LED Tail Lights and hopefully Stage 1 chip before EuroTripper Feb 2016. Of course Summer is a little jealous, because a few weeks ago she decided to debead herself causing the tire to get sheadded. The 305’s I had on there are on national backorder so I ended up going down a size to 295/35/18s. Little stretchy but it’s not too bad. I may dial down the mod list to just Air Ride and wheels because I really want to start the power mod project for Summer. We’ll see how the rest of the year goes. Here are a few snaps of Autumn, I PS the height fyi.

Through the Looking Glass…aka the Fence…

This year at Formula D, we were introduce a brand new venue…Orlando Speed World! at the oval track…featuring fence! I think you know where I’m going with this, it was a great location if the owner and FD Staff had more time to organize it. I mean it’s a new venue so no one knew how the property was going house thousands of people, media, drivers, teams, all in one small location. Hopefully a lesson learned and they further improve the location. I still had a blast, scratched a bucket list dream to hear Mad Mike’s MADBUL rotary goodness. This was also my first motorsports event where I had the chance to use my newly purchased Canon 1D Mark 3 camera. Ugh the burst fire is so insane on it still for being over 8 years old. Enjoy the pictures everyone.

Liberty Walk Summer Bash Meet Up

/ highwaystardoritos / Leave a comment

Better late than never to post coverages from a few months ago. Here’s a few photos back from July’s LB Summer Bash meet up. I haven’t see Liberty Walk vehicles since SEMA in 2013. Kato-San was actually there from the start of the meet along with his whole crew. Towards the middle of the meet, Kato made a big crash with an amazing parade of GTR’s, BMW, Porsche, and an amazing 240Z. Enjoy the snaps everyone!

The Hooman Body

Taking pictures of the meat bags that roam around this earth hasn’t always been my thing. I’ve always been fascinated by model/candid/portrait photography like Van Styles, jeebus does he kill it or what. I just spend hours going over his work, his BTS video is just as impressive. Not to mention his gear he can get, but its what the person behind the camera makes of it.

Hopefully next month at SoWo I’ll be able to do more people shots, it’s fun when you get in the mix of things but i’m far aways from actually modeling stuff.

Titan Motorsports VI Annual Open House

/ highwaystardoritos / Leave a comment

It’s been 3 years since I’ve been to my first Titan Motorsports open house and its crazy how much has changed, especially with the scene. It’s nice to see a power house like Titan Motorsports bring in a good mixture of cars. But the real reason wasn’t just for a meet, it was to raise money for their favorite charity, The Just in Queso foundation founded by Tijuana Flats. They help the near by community with food straight from Tijuana Flats. Last year they raised over $14k, which is amazing! But this year they want to beat it! Hopefully we’ll get word soon that they did. But I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking, enjoy everyone!

50 Shades of Summer

/ highwaystardoritos / Leave a comment


This year will be my 10 year anniversary with my baby girl, I feel like I need to get her something or do something for her… maybe take an amazing photoshoot with an awesome backdrop and print it out. Hmm, we’ll see how the rest of the year looks like. I did want to start in the power department but my stupid head can’t keep its mind on what to do. But how she sits now I couldn’t be anymore happier. Its exactly what I wanted her to look, aggressive as hell and breaking necks.

Couple of life changing moments has happen this year so I’ve been trying to deal with that as best as I can. The only thing I can turn to that can make me feel better or forget my stuff is my photography and Summer. I just get into a groove, my own world, it’s just me and my work. At my worse point one day I decided to stop by a location along side the beach to take my mind off of things. These are a little dark than my usual edits but I think it fit my mood at the time. Anyways, enjoy everyone.

24 Hours of Speed, Rubber, High Octane, and Noise

The weekend of the Rolex is finally here! Well, was, but my ears are still ringing from being so up close to brutal machines driving for 24 hours. This brings a total of 3 years straight coming to Daytona and camping out in the infield getting cold, wet, hot, and sleep deprived. Yes, it was amazing and I will do it all over again next year.

If you want to skip the boring reading part you can go here to view the full gallery on my flickr. Full Flickr Set Here – Rolex 2015

The Writing’s On The Wall

Last weekend I spent the weekend with my girlfriend getting to know Miami and it’s popular spots. The first day there we got to hang out with a fellow photographer and media director at Lamborghini of Miami Emil Garcia. He gave us a quick tour of the dealership and it was insane, amazing gorgeous cars everywhere you turn.

After hanging out we went to our hotel to check in and to relax while we wait to head to dinner which we decided on a very popular burger place called Rok Brgr. OMG it was so good, best burger I’ve had in a very long time. It’s up there with In n Out, I know that is a very high standard to be at but it’s that damn good. Great food, good company, lots of laughs, it was an awesome night.

The following day we checked out of our hotel and headed out to explore Miami and we headed to the Art District of Miami called Wynwood. I’ve been here for 3 years straight when the graffiti event the Art Basel. Walking around, snapping pictures, reminiscing back in the “old days” where certain walls were still up and what art was where. We had an awesome time but sadly not enough time to see the whole area as we had other stuff to do. We fell in love with the city and we can’t wait to go back! Enjoy the pictures and a expect a lot more through out the year from this lovely city ❤
