Here are some of the photos from the release party for the new Forza 3 on XBOX 360. The event was held on the roof of the parking structure at LA LIVE. Lots of amazing cars, good food and good people. Some of the hero cars on display were a tricked out R8 V10- the hero car of the game, a Ferrari California, a Porsche 997, Nissan Skyline R33, Acura NSX, Lamborghini LP640, Corvette ZR-1 and a bunch of other SICK cars.

They had a game simulator with Forza 3 spread out over three screens. The seat even moved around as if you were in the car- every time you hit something it violently shook around like if you crashed in real life. DJ Skee was on the 1′s and 2′s keeping the music bumping all night long. Open bars and free Wolfgang Puck catering does not suck either…

I even got to take home an XBOX 360 wireless steering wheel!

Thanks to SA Studios and Edelman PR for letting me photograph another fun event.

Seeing as I am still getting used to this blogging thing, I figured I would show some of the other work I do- its not all cool videos, graphic design or even web design. Somehow in 2003 I got mixed up with BPM magazine and started shooting nightlife and party coverage. Here we are years later and still shooting fun parties along the way…

So last night I had the opportunity to shoot photos at a party celebrating the release of Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 for the XBOX 360 at SA Studios in downtown LA. Lots of celebrities walking around including Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray, Rob Kardashian, Mr. Choc from the Beat Junkies, The Lost Prophets and many other “Influencers.” They got to play on one of the 14 consoles set up in the new “Co-Op” mode of the game. Many of them even walked home with one of the new Resident Evil 5 Special Edition Consoles. (Maybe one of these days I’ll end up with one! )

I have played this game since the first one, and its amazing to see the way it has progressed in not only gameplay, but in graphics. I remember many a sleepless nights while I was at Pepperdine with all the lights off and running through Raccoon City- having zombies jump out at me every turn I made. Fun to be involved with the SA Studios / XBOX / Edelman PR crew.

Here are some of the photos. Click here for the full gallery.
