Shop Now Live!

Over the years my family & friends have been pushing me to sell some of my photographs and every year I’ve promised myself to prioritize it to no avail. Well, drum roll please…. it’s done! What you see is fully custom built by yours truly on Shopify’s e-commerce platform. I went back and forth with using WordPress’s WooCommerce or Shopify as they had individual pros and cons. In the end I built the site using a bit of both. The non-shop pages (portfolio, blog, etc.) are on WordPress and the shop is on Shopify. I could have done it all on Shopify but I needed some backend flexibility on the non-shop pages. Hope you like the overall presentation and interface, i’ll be constantly adding prints so please check back. Cheers!

Project Blau

Just arrived from the motherland, a 1994 BMW 318iT Design Edition Touring. e30 Tourings have a interesting history as they were never slotted in BMW’s original product plan. A lone engineer, Max Reisböck, decided he needed something with more room so he hacked up his personal 323i at home. He pushed the rear window to the back of the car and extended the roofline. He showed his boss and right there on the spot he told him “we must build this!” The factory was pretty much a carbon copy of Max’s prototype and the rest is history. Unfortunately North America never received this version but with the 15 year import restriction passed they can now be brought in. This one is a nicely preserved example with just one original owner and is one of the last to come off the assembly line in February 1994. Such a classic look and seeing one is like seeing a unicorn.

A little Alfa

So my buddy Adam rang me late last year in the fall, “You need to pass by the shop, i’ve got something, bring your camera”. I took a spirited drive in the M3 on a lazy Sunday afternoon, walked in the garage and saw this little red beast. 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV, one of those cars you lust after and just want to rip through a windy country road. Sitting under the florescent tube lighting of the shop it was definitely aching for work out so first question asked, “Pass me the keys!” We spent the late afternoon mobbing the Alfa around little Italy and Mont-Royal running it through it’s wobbly gear changes and buzzing noises smiling ear to ear. Even it’s patina and questionable repairs there is such a sense of occasion that modern cars will never have. From the dinky little key to the awkward gear shift positioning, the oily smells and primitive seat belts, none of these things take away from the overall experience. Just look at it’s stunning proportions and lovely lines, it ticks all the aesthetic boxes that make car guys drool. Such a lovely thing, too bad it’s leaving and heading to BAT for someone else to enjoy. A must have for any car collector.

New Year New Look

admin — Mon, 01 Jan 2018 09:31:38 +0000

It’s been a long time coming but here it is. I spent the extra time during the holidays revamping my site. Over the last few years I’ve been engaging in more photography contracts so a new portfolio showcase was desperately needed. I hoping to use the blog as a way of documenting my photographic evolution with various personal images, stories and the occasional gear review. We’ll see what happens and see where it goes, hopefully some of you will appreciate it.
