Event Coverage | SpoCom 2012 (Part 2)

Night Import: Photography and Words by William Lee

This week has been pretty hectic and I barely had time to compile rest of the coverage for all you guys who were looking forward to part 2. There are still a lot of cars that weren't in part 1 that will be in today's coverage, so don't click on the X button at the top right of your window.

So to add some of my thoughts in part 2, I think SpoCom had a lot more spectators compared to last years event. Tons of people were walking in and out and when I had to wait for more than 40 minutes to just park, I instantly realized SpoCom was going to be off the hook. Car wise, I would say it was similar or less. There were a line of cars that I haven't seen last year, as well as not seeing cars that participated last year. Either way, the show was great and I had a great time.

Random NightLife | Be a True Model

Today's post will either cause some rage or a time for girls who are interested in the car scene to think thoroughly before stepping into the 'Import Model' scene. You'll see why I'm bringing this up, but I do want to take this time to re-introduce our two models as well as introducing a new model we decided to support last week. I personally want to say the judgments were made by me because Night Import is eventually a personal blog, but all the current contributing photographers and editors decided to help me out on this one and we all agreed upon this decision, so it basically was all of us that chimed in. Although I'm not a huge fan of models, which will also be explained later on, the car scene can't be separated from the model scene because that's how it was and known for, for decades. I can go on and on with the lack of knowledge I have on models and cars, but let's just jump into what I planned on doing. The two models you see above might look familiar to you if you've been in the automotive scene since last year. If not, let me re-introduce Raichelle Viado (left) and Eva Skye (right).

Event Coverage | AutoCon 2011 (Pt. III)

It's coming to an end! This will be my last continuous coverage on AutoCon 2011. I've been getting a lot of positive feedbacks from Part 1 and Part 2, so I really appreciate you guys spending some time to check them out. I try to keep things entertaining and especially for those who couldn't make it, trying to make you feel as if you were at the event. That's what a coverage is supposed to be all about, right? If there were any unpleasant captions on photos, just go with it because that's pretty much how I like to write things (^-^) That was a douschebag move, but seriously, always know that Night Import is and will be a 'personal blog'. I'll definitely try to keep things professional as much as possible, but I don't dress myself up purposely to make this blog to have a certain reputation.
Anyways, back to the coverage, Part 3 will be a compilation of almost everything with an addition of photos taken by our photographer Nick Schultz. Nick was walking with me for at least 3 hours and while I was busy with cars, Nick took care of most of the models and a few cars as well. You'll be seeing his photos here. Matter of fact, the cover photo for Part 3 was taken by Nick. Ah! I have to make an announcement as well. The watermark you guys see on Nick's photos will be our NEW watermark and I'll be using it on my next batch of photos as well. The story behind it will be described on the fanpage later on.

Model of the Week #4: Raichelle Viado

At Women of Perfection 2011, most of our supporting models were present and I took some time taking some shots here and there.
As we all know, Raichelle Viado is one of our supporting models and it was my first time actually talking to her in person. Let's just say she's the coolest person to talk to.
This girl is always pumped up! Here are some photos I took of her at the event. Make sure to check out Raichelle Viado's facebook fanpage.

Event Coverage: South Coast Subaru Love-A-Pet Adoption Drive

Some places might be snowing, but in California, it is raining like crazy.
It's usually not a one day happening, especially during Winter, and if it starts pouring it will POUR! Checking the weather forecast for this week, we will submerged in water until Thursday :(
Although in this horrible weather condition, Jay Ebue was able to make it out to the Love-A-Pet Adoption Drive held at South Coast Subaru.
This event was a bit different from the ones we've been to because it wasn't for only cars but for dogs/puppies that needed a new home. Check out cars and little/big dogs? I wouldn't mind :)
There were couple of Subaru's at the event and Jay did a great job shooting inside and outside.
