A few weeks ago, I decided to break out of my introverted shell (Yes kids, I'm introverted), and decided to converse with some automotive folks on twitter. I met Shaun- one of the guys who works at 713 Motoring in Houston, TX. I asked him the famous question: What is the best car show in the Houston area, because I know it's not Dub. Let's be real, Dub has become more and more commercialized as the years go on. Shaun told me about Los Magnificos and how they have a "good" turnout. My being such the investigative person that I am (My investigative nature did slip when it came to the Funkmaster Flex "Car Show"), I looked up the Los Magnificos show.
Apparently the Los Magnificos Car Show has been going on since before I was born. And the "good" turnout that Shaun was referring to was a total of 800+ cars, motorcycles, and bikes on display. On display, which means that they paid to show off their cars, it doesn't mean the parking lot. 800+ Cars, motorcycles, and bikes!!!! That's like three car shows in Atlanta put together.
To continue with my research, I did stumble across Hugo Martinez's website, Cadillac Photography's website, and Ruben Serrano's Flickr Page. Basically I found three guys who know photography and that I liked their work enough to feature on this site and of course, give them credit for it.
We're going to kick things off with selected photos from Hugo Martinez:
That Purple hue is gorgeous.
(Love the angle)
(Nice message)
(Photos like this make me realize why I love going to Lowrider based car shows. To shoot a lowrider car show, you have to have a crazy attention to detail, and I say that because those guys will detail a part of a car you wouldn't think of looking at, let alone photographing. It's a challenge, but it's an appreciated challenge. Why do you think I had a field day at the Torres Empire/Lowrider Car Show in LA? The person who took me to that show wasn't the only reason why I had the best time there.)
(Even though he's not smiling, I'm sure he's a sweetheart. I never understood why guys don't like smiling)
(Nice engine work)
(That blue is gorgeous)
(That purpleish-blue is gorgeous as well)
(Purple Crush has a lot going on)
(It's safe to say that there is nothing left to customize on this Escalade)
(Wow...)
(Wow...)
(Talk about sports pride...)
Here's Ruben's photos:
(love the detail)
(Seriously, does Swift Car Club throw car shows???)
And finally, Cadillac Photography's photos...
There's so many more, but at this point, it's safe to say that Texas is in a league of their own when it comes to customizing cars...
The Stars at Night are big and bright... 2012 Los Magnificos as well as Houston, TX, I hope you'se ready for me... But then again, everyone loves a New York girl.
