Tuner Evolution + Feel Your Balls
Alright! My first assignment with the Feel Your Balls organization was to photograph the experience at the Tuner Evolution event hosted by Jay Martinez. Basically, "Tuner Evolution" is a, "...full automotive lifestyle event that showcases many aspects of the aftermarket automotive industry." It's a lifestyle predominately taken up by males, so it made sense for Feel Your Balls to be there, since FYB promotes men's health and awareness of testicular cancer. I spent the entire day photo-documenting the entire show and I really want to apologize upfront if I miss anything important. There is just so much awesomeness to post without crashing my site.
The crowd anticipating the moment to be allowed in.
As soon as we were allowed to enter, I quickly found the Feel Your Balls vendor and got to work.
Various tees and tanks FYB sold.
Lovely Ammara Lee, our model helping to promote.
The 350z representing the cause.
Many thanks to Jason (@wrapitupvinyls) for working with FYB
Too much eye candy!
My favorite car at the show, a Datsun Fairlady from the Nostalgia Grains vendor.
Such gorgeous interior and the super over-sized shifter knob.
This M3 is very photogenic!
Next to the M3 is an Evo that's photogenic too.
That front grill is just mean.
His face look so jelly. I would be too....
Coincidentally, I saw the natural enemy of the Evo....Subies and I noticed there was a lot of them.
Alright, one more STI and that's it.
I stopped by Feel Your Balls to check up how they were doing.
Now I can't forget about the Honda's.
This bright yellow S2000 was chillin tagged with SNTRL, an online publication about tuner car culture.
Speaking of bright yellow, there was this awesome Mustang Cobra.
There was also a big presence of Euro automobiles.
Orchid Euro specializing in importation of euro parts-A LOT of parts that's uncommon.
So many FRS's and BRZ's...
but I'll just leave it with two
I actually rather have the retro GT Corolla
The legendary Rx-7. Better looking than Toretto's.
He was a freaking awesome guy. He instantly reminded me of Mighty Mo from the K-1 tournament (with the facial hair).
Tuner Evo also had other events lined up for the day, like the B-boy competition and bikini contest.
So I barely took any photos of car models throughout the day because there was just so many cars to see and vendors to check out, but finally I got the chance to dedicate some time for the final event....THE BIKINI CONTEST!!!
She ended up being in the top 4.
She had me sold when she mentioned that she had earned a black belt. From that point on, I was rooting for her to win.
She knows how to fire up the crowd. Another finalist.
The crowd just loves it!
She ended up being in the top two, which the crowd had to decide.
Erhmm, here are the top four....
At that point, the crowd had to cheer hard for the model they like the most.
Jay trying to judge and determine the winner
The council listens again......
I can't even remember the winner....
I had a great time. There was a lot to see and photograph. I know I missed out a lot (sorry Mopar fans like myself, I didn't include any). Just want to give big thanks to Jay Martinez for allowing me a media pass to get great shots like these for me to keep and showcase. Also thanks to Feel Your Balls for giving me the opportunity to be their photographer for this event and upcoming ones.
