My name is Sami.
I am a 24 year old freelance photographer
and graphic designer living in the good
'ol Southern USA. I have the best job in the entire world: I get paid to make shit look pretty and to take pictures of cars all day long. It doesn't get any better than that. :)
Other than the obvious fact that I love what I do. I love music, fast cars, and good beer. I also have a bit of an addiction to sweet tea (no lemon please and thank you). :)
This is my personal blog, I'll post my photos and designs and the occasional random tidbit about whatever the heck I feel like writing about. ENJOY!

Goals For 2011
Published Work: 2010 Ferrea Catalog
With 2010 coming to a close I’ve been making plans for next year. I want to take a good solid chunk of time and set some new goals for 2011. For my racing photos particularly, I’d love to see my photos in print in a magazine. For me there’s just something magical about seeing something you made in print. That’s probably why I was so proud of the above accomplishment. It was kind of random when I was told that Ferrea would be using one of my photos in their 2011 catalog, but I was stoked about it and very proud of myself as it was only the second time one of my photo was being published in print.
I’d like to make that a goal for 2011, more exposure, more print publishing, bigger events (hopefully the entire Formula Drift season if I can manage it).
I know for certain that I’ll be able to attend and photograph every Xtreme Drift Circuit event next year which is going to be amazing. I’m very stoked about that.
Another big goal I’d really like to accomplish in 2011 is to gain an increase in clients for my graphic/web design work. I really enjoy the whole process of creating a website or graphics for my clients and I’d love to expand. It would also be nice to have the extra cash for a new computer and some new goodies for my own car. Haha. Any suggestions on this particular topic, I’m all ears… Anyhoo… love to all of you fabulous Tumblr folks! :)
So I took a trip to New Jersey…
Roughly 26 total hours of driving (although this trip should take only around 10 hours one way) and two blown trailer tires later…I made it home from New Jersey late Sunday night. Despite battling a broken toe (yup my clumsy arse slammed my pinky toe into the metal part of my computer chair about a week ago) I did my best to get some shots to cover the event. I’ve still got quite a bit more to edit, but here’s a few teasers. :-)
*note: I now want a Honda Ruckus quite fervently. :-)
Waiting on the roadside service guy to get there after tire blow out number two somewhere in Virginia…
One tire de-laminated the other completely popped. The second almost looks like it has been drifted on.
Shredded.
Honda Ruckus. :-)
