This is where some of the footage I shot at FD ’08 Long Beach was used.

While I was out in LA, I found this great shop that sold among other things “bombing” accessories. They had a great selection of books and magazines as well. One of the ones I picked up was a compilation of street art from Europe by european graffiti magazine StyleFile. This particular book was a “best of” from a series of ten books that have been published. The art contained with in is amazing to say the least, a true mastery of a medium. The typography and use of color is like a kick in the head from the norm and truly inspirational.

So if you’re looking for some new ideas or design stimulation, go order this book today. Here’s a link to amazons listing for it.

Thursday Night: We landed in LAX. It was 3am as far as my body was concerned. We headed to “The Kettle” for a late, late dinner, then headed to the Residence Inn: Marriott. Little did I know that my sleeping arrangements would equal two couch cushions and some sheets. “All expense paid”…next time I’ll read the fine print lol. It ended up being very comfortable, the worst of it was having to endure everyone else staying up late and chatting right next to me.

Fri/Sat – Formula D – Long Beach ’08:
The friday qualifier went great. I learned the angles of the track and found the best places to post up the Canon GL2 and shoot. Saturday’s main event was awesome. We had perfect weather, which I’ve heard is typical for Cali’, and the event was a success as the driver I was hired to cover (Chris Forsberg/NOS Energy Drink/Maxxis) placed 1st.

Vaughn Gitten Jr. – 10th

Sunday – Sightseeing:
I thought LA was a beautiful overall. We never did make it downtown but did get a chance to visit K-town (Little Korea), Pasadena and West Hollywood. Here are some random pics from the trip: Enjoy (and cut me some slack…it’s a Sony Point-n-shoot)!

Long Beach, CA

Some awesome Graffiti in West Hollywood…

Can’t wait to go back…maybe for Formula D – Irwindale!!!
