Night Shots on Congress

2012 was my 2nd trip to the Lonestar Roundup. This time I figured I'd take my camera to Congress for some kool night shots. Great idea on Thursday, too many people on Friday or Saturday. Anyways here are some of my favorites from that experiment, all hand held shots, I should have taken the tripod!

Royboy Feature Videos

It's been awhile since I've released a new video. I have the footage shot for 2 more but I'm waiting to time their release with those vehicles feature articles in magazines. Until then and for the new people here are the first two.

Episode 1 is all about the car that is featured in the Limited Edition Poster #1. Episode 1:Jack Marinelli tells the story behind his historic hot rod. A 29 Model A on 32 frame with a 46 drivetrain, this hot rod was build in the mid 50's and sits today almost exactly the way it did then. This car is no enclosed trailer princess that sits in a museum, it is driven, and driven like it's stolen. Music by Pushrod www.pushrodengage.com This episode sponsored by www.straykatkustoms.com

2013...So Far.

Click on any of the slideshows to go to the full gallery.

2013 started like they all do here, with the Starbird-Devlin show in Wichita.


Then a trip to shoot a feature which allowed me to hit 2 shops while I was out.  I stopped by Ryno Built and Fast A.L.'s Upholstery.

Then it was of to Kansas City for the World of Wheels.


After that was a trip to Tulsa for the Starbird Rod & Custom show.


Then it was back to the Wichita area (Park City) for The Chill


Then it was off to the Texas Thaw in Denton TX which allowed me to stop at 3 of my friends shops along the way, Chaotic Customs, Premier Body & Paint and Atlas Speed & Custom.


Then it was back to Texas for the Goodguys Spring Lone Star Nationals at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, TX.


So as far as I can recollect, that is what I've been up to in the last 3 months.

See you at a show,

This weekend is Viva!

First off, I'm not going :( booooooooooo! I did attend in 2010 and overall I liked the show. For those that don't know the show, it's Viva Las Vegas. Held every year on Easter weekend in Vegas at the Orleans Casino.  I'm guessing it's too late for you to go but I'm sure that there will be plenty of coverage floating around by Monday, I'll get some of my favorites and share them with you. When I went the crowd was intense both in numbers and in the literal meaning. Sooooo many people who were more into the rockabilly than the car show, but hey that's kool as long as you respect the cars and the people who build/own them. The plan this year was for a massive caravan from Wichita to Vegas for Viva then to Austin for the Roundup and back... now it looks like I'm rolling to Texas solo where I will meet up with some friends and finish the trip to Austin.

Let's look back at when I was at Viva, 2010.








Love it.
