Always late to the party. I finally got to Historic Nights! A monthly meet-up for classic car and bike enthusiasts at the Entertainment Quarter. Man this venue brought back memories of running the JDMST EOMM’s. Great memories of friendships forged and not so great memories of cops shutting us down! Historic Nights is something else though, it felt like a curated show! So many insanely awesome blasts from the past, all in the one place. Really looking forward to getting my R32 GT-R done in the new year so I can rock up to future meets in it.

I feel that if I don’t do anything else at all this year I’m well satisfied. Might as well wrap it up, what a way to end the year!

Not been to WTAC since… 2018?! It’s been a long time, and I felt so welcomed by so many old and new faces throughout the day. As usual I didn’t end up taking many shots, too busy yapping! But backing 2 horses in the race with Todd and Hana behind the wheel of the Tanuki cars was awesome. Todd topping the time charts throughout the day added a delectable tension!

Big energy, big day and we’re doing it all again tomorrow!

Awesome night last night at the ZEN EOMM Pre-WTAC Tanuki Party at Benzin Cafe in Dural. Turnout wasn’t huge, but quality over quantity and those who came got to check out the Tanuki S13 and meet Bathurst 1000 Winner Todd Hazelwood who will be driving the S13 and Hana Burton who will be driving the Tanuki Yaris.

There’s something romantic about shooting on film.

Some photographers that use digital cameras whine when they have to go through 300 shots from a shoot. I mean seriously? What were you doing? Simply hoping that at least some of the 300 shots were going to be OK?

With film you’ve got to make every shot count and that means framing well, and often times making the decision to not hit that shutter button. I once overheard Nick suggest to another photographer to “pretend” that he had a roll of film in his camera, and perhaps try to take less, but more considered shots. I thought this was great advice!

On topic; our Melbourne based Photographer Curt Graham chose to use his Fuji GW690 III with 120 film which has only 8 shots per roll.
