Welcome to jay019.com

We got a new bus to get around in the other day. There is now so much room for the kids that they actually want to go out places now. So many cool things to check out in it too. Will get onto making a page for it (with specs etc) one day soon. Now to find a job so I can start paying for it, lol.

First day practice I can ever remember at Mallala, lol. I took my kids along to have a look and they loved it. Hannah made a mes of herself with chocolate custard, haha. I spent the day messing around with slower shutter speeds (sub 1/80th) and got some surprising results.

This months Fast Fours magazine contains a feature on Jake Jones drift car that I shot earlier in the year. It was just after he damaged the motor so it couldnt be moved too far which made the shoot a bit more difficult. All in all though it wasnt too bad and ended up being the largest feature for the month.

Photos from a shoot taken back in October last year have finally made it into HPI magazine. Its been a while since I took the pics and it was awesome to see a full page spread feature one of the photos I took. Can't wait for the next feature.

Another top bunch of students coming on up through Drift School this year. I was planning on attending with my own car this time round but as I had a blown head gasket I came along to take a few photos instead. Will add more up in the next couple of weeks, been pretty busy lately.

Was asked out to photograph the Jaustech private day last week. There was a good mix of cars and drivers and I also visited some old photo spots and a couple of new ones too. At times I found it difficult dealing with the harsh sunlight and glare, something I will need to improve at in future.

First drift practice held out at tailem bend on the weekend. Its a flowy track which looks fun to drive. Some of the top guys from the street class put on a nice smokeshow once the rain had dried. Looks like the future of drift in SA can only get better. Can't wait to head back out there.

Benji held a private day on the 2nd. Was kinda funny, your only supposed to have 12 cars at a private day yet I have photos of 15 different cars, lol. Benji did a top job organising the day and everyone had a top time. Got a few good snaps, but harsh sunlight and glare proved to be a challenge all day
