Event: Collector Car Auction
When Gus told me he was on the production team for a collector car auction I insisted he get me a ticket. Seeing classic cars is like traveling back in time. I picture the families that use to own it, the conversations that took place, the adventures, the everyday moments like going to the grocery … Read more

Blog: The City I Call Home (Not by Choice)
