Working Under Pressure



I am majoring in Biology, pre-med to be specific, and here I am working against the clock to get an assignment done for my photography class. The final product of this assignment will come out soon.
Ok so tonight I called Irvin, I had an idea of a shot for my assignment, and I'm satisfied with the results, now I just have to choose one, or maybe a couple, but definitely one shot will set my assignment.
I already photo-shoot Carlos' bike, also Edson's EG, and I was only missing Irvin's coupe, and tonight was that night. I'm not completely satisfied with the photo-shoot, I mainly shot the rear of the car, and again I was mostly shooting for my assignment.
You guys have to see how nice and rear suspension setup looks. The color of the coilovers-off red blends nicely with the polished LCAs, and the red ASR subframe brace. I know Irvin's car is green, dark green, I wasn't too sure if the red subframe brace was going to look good; however, it did blend and nicely, I just can't wait to see Irvin putting more work into his car.
Well, the night started like a normal Sunday night for me, heading home after couple hours of work. When I Irvin responded to my txt, agreeing that he wanted to get couple pics of his car. And off we went, Irvin was nice enough to pick me up, and drop me off. Props to him even though he's always in a serious mood.
First we headed to the Marin Hedlands, I wanted to get a shot of his car with the Golden Bridge in front of the car, but at a lower level. Indeed I got the shots, but only with one of the towers.
It was windy which made my tripod shake like salsa dancer, since the legs of it are so skinny and weak.
After giving up on the shots for that location, because of all the cars that were coming, and going I went to the car to get a close up shot of the bridge and the car, when I had great opportunity to meet and socialize for a little bit with three ladies. They were really friendly, and fun. Note, they were also driving in a nice Lexus sc430.
Too bad that Irvin was too serious, I think he was mad at me when he noticed that I stopped taking pictures of his car, and instead I offer myself to take pictures of the ladies.

After we left we realized that the area where we were was just too populated at the moment. It's funny that when we got to the spot, there was no one there, only us, and five minutes later, boom everyone decided to come and join us on our photoshoot.
We headed to the park that is at the water level, on the east side of the bridge to take the last pics. Once there I took only one shot, and it started to rain, I kept taking pics, but the wind was just too strong and kept moving the tripod.
Still I got nice shots of the bridge, but mainly Irvins car, or at least the rear of it. hehe
And I know it's been a while since I last posted on my blog with some nice pictures, after getting the bad news of my beloved dog passing away, I needed to do something like this to distract me at least a little bit.
I'm happy I live in the Bay Area, is so rich in beautiful landscapes, and thank God for having the friends that I have.
Enjoy the pics.
P.S. there's a lot more pictures to come off this car.

Some cloud that Irvin fell in love with, I heard him murmuring/wishing that Ariel the little mermeid would come out of there holding the little yellow fish. Kid scares me sometimes.






some random shot that I took here, I just took it because of the clouds, yet the picture has a lack of balance and colors.
The Ladies


The ladies again, but the picture was slightly edited on photoshop so the bridge was visible.
