What kinda camera are you usimg, alot of the pics of unfocused. Use the flash everytime, dont worry about the quality as long as its focused, just trying to help you out, pictures keep memories alive. Keeping up with the thread, so jealous of you man you have no idea, I got people around me in class like, "I cant believe he's doing what he's doing" with the shop and traveling over there and drifting, everything in general. Keep up the good work.
