Set to release in a couple of days is the latest book/special issue from the publishers of Japan’s 38 Timez Magazine. I have been in contact with my friend Oryu who is the mastermind behind 38 Timez and these special issues and based on what he has shared with me I am pretty excited to see  this issue. If you have seen his previous releases, they are filled with a lot of great content so I know this will be filled with a lot of great content as well. This are highly sought after, extremely limited so if you have the chance to get your hands on one, I suggest you do. You will not regret it.

This Friday is the start of a great weekend here in the Southern California area. The 63rd Annual Grand National Roadster Show opens at the Fairplex in Pomona California. If  you are into anything custom, this is the place to see it. Lowriders, Kustoms, Choppers, Hot Rods and just about everything else under the sun is at this show. The show attracts the best of the best and you are sure to be visually overloaded. Stephanie & I love this show and always get some great coverage. All the details are listed on the flyer below but if it is too small for you, go to Rod Shows Dot Com  for a larger viewing space.

Here is some from Stephanie & I from last year’s show.

Event Coverage ~ Pirelli MX554 Product Launch and Meet & Greet ~ Dodger Stadium

•January 21, 2012 • Leave a Comment

The 2012 AMA Supercross Series is in full swing and this weekend the race is at Dodger Stadium. Yesterday afternoon Pirelli showcased their new motocross tires during a press event at Dodger Stadium. The event was held inside the Stadium Suite that overlooked the entire Supercross course. Pirelli riders James “Bubba” Stewart and Davi Millsaps made an appearance and spoke about competing with the new tires. The Pirelli team spoke about the technology that goes into creating a tire for the riders as well as the tires they create for the other types of racing they are involved in. It was pretty informative and I was surprised at how much technology goes into creating tires. With that being said, in my opinion the Pirelli riders have the most advance tires to compete with. The race is tonight and should be a good one. Best of luck to the Pirelli riders!

You cannot visit Dodger Stadium without having Dodger Dogs, Peanuts, Popcorn and Craker Jacks!

Ladies and Gentleman, Your Pirelli Team Riders ~ James “Bubba” Stewart and Davi Millsaps.

Here’s a shot of the track. They were covering it up because of the rain we had in LA this morning. Hopefully its not too muddy tonight.

Thanks to John, Emily, Victor and Jennifer from the ID Agency for the invite.

Sunday morning we were out in the Inland Empire area of Southern California for our second photo shoot of the weekend. Ben from Rollerz Only/Switch Happy Hydraulics drove up from the Coachella Valley so we could shoot his 1987 El Camino for Lowrider Magazine. Whenever we shoot in the IE, I call my good friend Mark Alcala from Traffic CC to find us a spot to shoot. Once again, Mark came through and found us the perfect back drop for Ben’s Elco. I’d like to thank Mark for his help and my nephew Steven for once again assisting Stephanie & I on the shoot. We had a great time shooting with Jessie Jett also and ended up with some great shots of her and the car. You’ll have to wait for the feature to publish to see those photos but here is one of Ben’s El Camino.

 

Celebration ~ Happy Birthday Dad

This morning the Bueno family will meet celebrate the birthday of my father Joe Bueno. Although he is no longer on this earth, we celebrate his birthday and honor his memory with a mass, breakfast and some time at his grave site. Even though it has been almost two years since he passed away, the pain we feel has still not gone away or lessen. We miss the man that led our family, cheered us on the most and offered the best advice ever. We love you JB, Papa Joe, and Dad.

Saturday morning we were out the door early and headed to Ontario California to meet up with Junior and the guys from Redemption Car Club. It was pretty cold but we all managed to get through the cold. Stephanie & our model for the day Sophia Jade captured some great shots of her with the car.  Look for a full feature on Junior’s car in a future issue of Lowrider Magazine. I was trying some new editing techniques on this photo. Let me know if you like them or not.

Los Angeles, Calif., – January 10, 2012 - The Hundreds is pleased to announce Azealia Banks as the cover girl for The Hundreds Magazine: Music Edition, Vol. 3 Issue 2, with the publication set to release Thursday, February 2, 2012.
Contents of The Hundreds’ very first Music issue include a photo editorial and controversial, in-depth interview chock full of Banks’ fiery opinions about the music industry, the new crop of young women rappers, and common comparisons made between her and fellow La Guardia alum Nicki Minaj.
Banks on her career aspirations:  “I’m trying to be innovative, I want to be like Missy Elliott was, respected and accepted for doing her own thing.”
Banks on White Girl Mob rapper, Kreayshawn, amongst the rise of female rappers:  “As much as Kreayshawn would love to be considered part of this ‘rap game,’ she’s not.  I guess a part of me is kind of annoyed that those white girls are making these songs, and it’s like if these girls were black and making the same songs would you be that interested?”
Banks on Minaj:  “The butt, the hair, the this, the that, all the other shit, like… As much respect that I have for her, we’ve seen you do this already, what else can you do?”
Also featured among The Hundreds’ musical elite are photos and interviews with Yasmine Kittles of Tearist, DJ SOSUPERSAM, and record reviews by Junior Sanchez.
