Night-Import: Photography and Words by William Lee

Hope Part 1 coverage was enjoyable because it's about to get better. As much as I was impressed with the amount of cars and people, the location was one of the best places ever. There were 5 car show rooms inside the warehouse and each room was organized by different groups. I'll lead you guys through, so let's start it off.

You saw Johnny from Part 1 DJ'ing for the event. There were two entrances behind him, each one leading to separate rooms. By the way, because I didn't have a tripod and left my External Flash in the car which was parked a mile away, some of the photos might seem blurry or noisy. My current camera can't handle too much ISO, so I'll be upgrading pretty soon. My apologies.

The Chronicles focuses on mostly very well built Honda's, so most of the cars that were in this room were amazing.

Walking into the next room, I thought I spotted Rick's Wagon but it was his friends. Rick slapped my face for getting this wrong.

Heard something about this FD, but forgot.

That was one heck of a long tour. My legs are still sore from this day because I had to squat down 560 times taking photos at Hellaflush 8 and It's JDM yO!'s meet.

Here are some 'behind the scene' photos.

IMG_1176
I see that grandpa at EVERY model involved events.

IMG_1178
All these guys shooting the models. I spot a few friends here and Noel seems like he's really serious (right). Look at Charles (owner of the custom widebody s2k) chilling at the back.

Rep it!
