the White Elefant in the Room...

Indeed...a hard one to pass up and ignore...

Met up with Harlan and Ray from Elefant Supply Co. at this years Bay Area 02 Swap & Show.  After talking to Harlan a week prior, checking out what they had in the works, he mentioned they were heading up here in a 2002 for a show.  After checking out Ray's 2002 on their blog, I made it a mission to head out to Brisbane to catch up with Harlan, meet his brother, and add this beauty to my photo collection (I wish in my garage).   

Much props to them for making the long trek from Los Angeles to the Bay in this S14 powered beast.  True Bimmer fanatics!

One Two-Toned Classic...

I had the opportunity to meet Daniel at this years Bay Area 02 Swap and Show. I was actually there to shoot a different 2002, then found out that Daniel wanted in too. This car definitely caught my eye when I was browsing the other great looking cars, so I couldn't pass it up. The two-toned paint did it for me. A classic win! A good two-for-one...

Bay Area 02 Swap & Show 11

Checked out this years "Bay Area 02 Swap & Show" in Brisbane a friend told me about. I sure do miss these kinds of meets/shows. It's all about the cars and true enthusiasts. Great looking cars everywhere...

Also, check back in a few days for a shoot I did with two cars.

Makes me want to hop on Craigslist and look for one!
