A few weeks ago I went up to the Sno Drift Rally in Atlanta, MI. You can see the Post below from the day I went with some Mobile uploads.

I Ended up taking around 500 photos that day and I weeded it down to around 200 and posted them on my Event Photo Blog. photoby.teddypieper.com

Here are some of my Favorite ones.

It was a lot of fun going out there and watching. If anyone wants to sponsor me and my dad so that we can participate next year?!

Ok I was going to post this yesterday but… Ended up not happening. Non the less here is the story about how Matt Lebrun and I found the dead drop that lee brimelow dropped in Boston.

It was about 10:30 in the morning and I had already been at work for an hour and a half just messing around in twitter and such at the time. Matt got on and was super stoked and proceeded to send me a Link to your post about the dead drop in Boston. We had watched the San Francisco dead drop unfold a week ago and we really wanted talked about how we really wanted to partake in it if you ever did it in Boston, so now was our chance.

At first I didn’t spend to much time on it because I was at work and also I had to go out on-site to set up a computer on a network for this business, I work a Computer Tech place in a Small Town where I work on computers and also handle all the Web Design/Graphic Design/Video Editing or whatever tech problem that anyone in this little town comes up with. Well we figured that It had to deal with the book cause obviously the ISDN number from amazon was the sequence of letters turned into there respected numerical value. The Australian guy in the comments helped us along with that one haha.

Matt tried going to his library to try and decode the sequence of numbers with no luck and had to leave without really thinking it through, cause he has no car and his ride needed to leave. I Looked up on my local Library’s site to see if they had the book in, and they did. Luckily the Library is right next door to my work so I clocked out and ran over there real quick all the time keeping in touch with Matt on all that was going on. I got to the Library and sat down with A Beautiful Mind to start the decoding. I proceeded to try 3 Different ways cause at first it really wasn’t making much since:

1. page-paragraph-word
2. page-word-letter
3. page-line-word

The Last one made sense but at the time I was taking photos of the pages and uploading them to Facebook for Matt to see as well, so it didn’t really click at first. Then I thought of the letters equaling numbers DUH! haha. I used page-line-word and the first letter in that word would equal a number and I imediatly came out with 42 40.975, 71 15.490. I texted it to Matt and told him to get going! I went back to work and punched in the numbers into Google, as did Matt and luckily he double checked my work on page 163 which I had uploaded to facebook and found that I had put a 4 instead of a 2 on the first coordinate… Ooops! Non the less we got it fixed (42 20.975*) and he barrowed his moms car and proceeded to drive an hour to the location.

When He got there he called me up so that I could give him some directions and help on finding it. He said that he saw some people out there and he didnt know weather they were just walking dogs or looking for the drop. I advised him to hurry up! haha. As I was talking to him an Intern and my Manager were standing there looking at the blog post and we started looking closely at the photo for more clues and figure out then that it was a red square nailed to a tree! That helped Matt out a ton cause now he had something to really look for! I got off the phone with cause we were running up the minutes! Moments later he called me back to check and see if he was on the right trail and with a combination of street view and some input he was giving me I, we figured he was on the right trail and just had to go down to the end and to the right/north. Then we hung up again.

After a few moments he called back and said he found it! his hands were freezing and he was getting the hell out of there! He drove down a couple exits and pulled over and unwrapped it…. IT WAS CS4 MASTER COLLECTION!! We were wicked stoked on the find and I immediately emailed you the secret message!! This was at about 4:57pm when he had finally found it and opened it!

And thats the story… Hope you Enjoyed it! Leave comments/share!

The photos below are of Matt with CS4 and my code breaking sheet!

D4W-Down 4 Whateva [Official Music Video]

Last month I was asked by a good friend of mine Corday Cardwell – Lution Media to do behind the scenes videography for this music video that Wuz Good and Murray Mile were putting together. I agreed of course why would I turn something like that down! Although it was long hours 12 hours on the first day and a little over 12 on the second day, it wasnt that bad cause I was having so much fun working with the camera and being around an amazing team that was putting this music video together. If you have the time check these guys out! Lution Media In my opinion they are the best team of people in Orlando that you could possibly want doing a production of any kind!

Big props to my man Chan! I can not forget him! Casey Chan Directed and edited this Behind the Scenes video, I just operated a camera as well as took pictures.

Navigate over to my Portfolio Section and you can see a few shots I took while I was on the set.

Had an awesome impromptu shoot with Ted Isla over the weekend. He was spinning the electro at my huge party, some 150+ ppl showed so thanks to all that came it was a blast.

Check out all the photos from that night on my newest section of velocity-concepts — eventphoto.

Remember to be sure and hire me for any event photography needs especially for your Nightlife Photos. New Dedicated Website coming soon in association with John Azzilonna from Azzystyle.com

So far since the start of July I have not stopped. In the beginning there was the BMX tour, where me and a Group of 7 riders tore across Ohio shredding all the awesome parks. There were some ups and definitely some downs on the trip but overall success I think is pretty good. The DVD which will be called This is BMX will be hopefully done in the following months. Other then that I have just been slammed with work for school along with my work outside school. Hopefully pretty soon I will have another site up for nightlife photography since I am getting slammed with that work from every corner, it just needs it own site, but I need a name. I want something catchy that everyone will want to go to the site just to see what it is all about, but nothing is jumping to my head and everything that does the .com is already taken. So if YOU have any suggestions let me know. Also, if you are interested in working the nightclubs and have a camera with a flash and think your photography can live up to whats on whatshotlive.com right now then send me an email!!! I really need Orlando Photographers! Well I got to get going late as it is. So I will leave you with this photo to brighten up your day.

Mad Turndowns Yo!! Lots more photos will be coming I just need to find the time and motivation to get them all done!

Every month at Fullsail there is an Art Show for the students. We submit work to Kim Lomus and then she shows them to her Art History students and they vote on who will be in the show and who will be best of show.

This month was an amazing turn out with some of the best art that I have seen displayed in this show. It was standing room only for the announcement of Best of Show, which my friend Joey Northrup won (photo of the piece below). The show was so good that the governor is going to come through on Friday and see it! Well… He was already going to come see the school but they told us that they were going to keep the show up so that when he comes through he will be able to check it out. Good timing huh!?

Here are some photos from the show!

Lily had one of the best displays in the show, she took pictures of this couch in different locations like a park and in the middle of the road. She then put those pictures in frames and put them on the couch to display them in the art show!

Jake Approves!

My Piece.

Nick was a Happy Attendee.
