Group of people gathered outdoors, some wearing hats and sunglasses, with one woman smiling at the camera. The scene appears to be at a casual social event or gathering.

about

I grew up driving behind the wheel of our race trucks. Eventually, they got too fast for me, and when I stepped away from the helmet, I picked up a camera to document the culture, stories, and people that raised me.

i recently moved to los angeles, ca. to experience and document the lowrider culture. i chose La because i figured if i was going to experience lowrider culture, i should go straight to the source.

experience

Film lets me slow down and remember the moments that raised me, digital lets me capture those same moments for others.

A woman in black and white striped pants and a black long-sleeve shirt is taking a photo with a camera at an outdoor event. People are gathered in the background, some talking and others looking around, on a sunny day.

my story

four years behind the camera, but a lifetime in racing.
