The Tubester

One of my favorite things about being part of a photography group is that I'm constantly looking for group outings and activities to keep us busy. Sometimes we meet up for something simple, like a quick shoot on a local friends car. Other times we look for events to shoot, knowing it gives us an opportunity to grow our skills when working in distracting and difficult environments. In this particular situation, I reached out to a fairly local shop to see if they'd give us a couple hours with one of their newly revamped builds. They said yes and the rest is history.

Calvin Customs & Hot Rod Repair is a hidden gem in small town Kansas. If you're in the hot rod or custom scene, you've likely heard of them. If not, you will. This small town team is knocking out the kind of work few would expect from our neck of the woods.. and if they can't do it, they collaborate with those who can. Like Mickey Harris, the man who brought this incredible vision to life.

The Seven Deadly Sins is the kind of artistic creation that's more than meets the eye. Each piece is so frighteningly detailed and impressively drawn that it'll stick with you long after the Tubester is gone. (My personal favorite of the pieces is, without a doubt, gluttony. What's your's?)
