I emerge from the midst of self destruction with passions and skills of a hundred men. Thinking outside the box has gotten me far. The years I’ve spent living and learning has been full of ups and downs. Failing time after time. I’ve failed family, friends, lovers… acquaintances… and most of all myself. Without the failure I wouldn’t have anything to measure up my success to. I’ve lived life running wild and free with no worries in the world. When I failed I got back up and tried again. I’ve always tried my best to keep everyone happy. My self as well… When things got rough it showed. When things were good it showed. I always try to hide the negatives and show the positives. I don’t regret much of anything I’ve done. It is apart of living and learning. Owning up to mistakes. Challenging what’s right and what’s wrong. If hell broke loose and shit hit the fan… I would be a survivor as everyone with me.
Well, it has been a few years since I’ve got out my camera gear to play. Decided to shoot some of my lenses and random things. Did a quick edit in photo shop to take out shadows and crop but the rest is unedited.
If anyone was wondering what I shot with. Canon 7D with Sigma 24-60 F/2.8 lens
IS0 400 f/9 shutter varied between shots. Had softboxes on the sides and a flash on top.
Since I was challenged by my sister in-law Natasha to do the ice bucket challenge. I decided to accept DeAnjelo’s challenge as well. I’ve donated to the ALS Association as well to my friend Hien Phan’s GoFundMe campaign raising money for his 2nd grade students.
I feel Hien’s current students and students years to come will have more impact from my donation. The ALS Association has raised a large amount in the short amount of time the ice bucket challenge has been going around. I sure hope everyone has been donating even though they splash them selves with ice cold water.
Help Hien get his students materials for better learning.

Got the front tires flipped for taking off to Kansas City. Flipped them a little late.. LOL. 

Changed rear upper arms since the ball joints were bad.
Got back to NC and the rear wheel bearings went out. Guess undoing the axles for the first time EVER caused some damage. I swear I shot the axle nut in tight.. =(
Finally put the car cover on after a while of sitting. Tired of seeing it broken.
Ordered the entire rear assemblies. After driving from KC to NC I think the rear hubs were toast. LOL. Saved a little bit from not buying new aftermarket hubs to press into bearings.. These wheel bearings seem to be alright.
