yes.

so yes.

McBoso?

I got a kick out of this thing scoping some of the j-blogs. Why can't we have bosozoku-style Happy Meals?

Song of this very moment, which can be considered both visually and audibly pleasing:

On a side note* - In the coming week(s), this blog will be brought back to life.

Grainy.

I heard somewhere that cellphone camera grain was in. Haha. But yeah, I've had these for awhile but just put them on last week. I thought I better take at least a couple photos before snow and ice enevitably tear these apart, but now that the main four are together and on, it's oh so nice.

Dope.

Stickers!

I've been collecting various automotive related stickers as they come my way for awhile now. Here's a shot of a large portion, some of which are pretty rare, or obscure. I still have yet to get the one I really want, but we'll see how things go the next week or so, and maybe I'll finally put a couple on the car.


Haha, crazy.

Visually Stimulating

I've been lazy with the photog lately, but... that's not all I do with my time in the first place, nor is it what I started this blog primarily for (Sidebar: Why have most of my recent posts been photos?). So I feel no guilt. I think.

Regardless, Jamie sent me this link the other day; I don't know how many times I've watched it since. Get ready, this is madness on a longboard. "I thought I was badass." Haha.

And then, like a bunch of bums, each of my friends and I slept Sunday morning when the race I've been waiting for for months aired at 7:00a.m. Damn myself for missing F1 Singapore GP. Executive Summary? Thank you Jalopnik.


Singapore Executive Summary from Axis of Oversteer.com Video on Vimeo.

Looks a lot like old school Gran Turismo: SS Route (insert your favorite). I'd kill to get behind the wheel. Maybe I'll be able to atleast catch a rebroadcast or something. I mean it wasn't the most exciting race from most accounts, but c'mon, the first F1 GP at night. Shut up, enjoy the spectacle and observe the drivers' reactions to the change from the norm. Still can't believe I slept through it.

Oh well,
Both fairly good videos,
Thanks Vimeo.

Fresh material hopefully sooner than later. Supposedly I'll finally have my car back this week; aka, I'll be mobile and should have no excuse. Which is a good thing.

Late,
Nick

Abstract.

This is a photo I took at a relative's house just last week. They have artwork by various members of the family, and friends of, hanging around the house and this one stood out. The piece is by a friend of the family, Mark Zender, of a guitar drawn on cardboard using application of different ink styles. He's done, by my cousin Aaron's account, hundreds of these cardboard works with many different subjects depicted, but only a few remain in his possesion. He doesn't have any site online to reference (although I hear one is in the works), but I thought I'd share and if anyone is interested in his work, I can probably get you contact info/in touch.

I have other shots of his work, and plan to get more, to share and will. He truly has a unique talent. Actually, now that I just remembered, he's actually holding another piece of his work in a photo on this blog, under the post 'Chicago.' He's outside of Frohman's, holding a canvas on the left side of the image.
-----------------------------------------------

This one is actually by me, it's a mixture of two photos using photoshop CS3 taken in the same location. It's supposed to represent the spins and the subtle shift in reality associated with a long night of drinking. Thus it's title: DrunkInAParkingLot.

Hopefully you enjoyed these semi abstract pieces,

If so, or not, I plan on sharing more in the future.

Goodnight,

Nico.
