|Old School Rotaries
Sunday, August 30th, 2009
I’ve always had a thing for rotary engined cars. I’ve owned both an FD and an FC, and have spent countless hours wrenching on them, swapping engines, etc. I’ve always wanted an old rotary like an RX-2, RX-3, R100, because they can look awesome and they are smog exempt. I came across this RX-4 the other day and it renewed my daydreams of owning an old school rotary.
This car is owned by Juni Asuncion of JRX Rotary out in Southern California. I remember meeting Juni years ago when he lived in the Bay Area and owned a widebody FC convertible with a 13B-RE from a Cosmo. Congratulations on putting together this proper looking RX-4.

Formula Drift Sonoma in pictures
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Last weekend had the Indy Racing League come to Infinion Raceway in Sonoma County. Along with the IRL, Formula Drift ended up tagging along and having their event a few weeks early. This was also the first event where I was able to get a media pass to shoot from the other side of the fence. There were complaints from some of the other photographers about the IRL restricting where Formula D could put some of the cement barriers, thereby limiting the places where we could shoot from. I tried to do my best with what where were allowed to go. I definitely feel like there were some places that I wanted to shoot from but didn’t have time, and I guess that’s a lesson learned for next time to make better use of my time.

We all start somewhere
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Well, here’s my first post. After recently being laid off due to the economy, I decided I hated my job anyway. So I’ve been taking this time to reinvent myself and start doing something that I like to do. So besides starting to work as a freelance web developer, I’m going to try and give photography a go as well and try and do it as more then just a hobby. And since posts without pictures are pretty boring, here’s a picture.
