Herro. My name is Josh and I am new to NYC from Florida, where I was into the car scene there. I’m looking forward to meeting some new friends. I still have my car, but could not bring it with me at the moment due to cost/convenience. I still love cars though. I moved to NYC because I am a photographer and am trying to shoot cars commercially as a career. Ironic, I know. I drive/drove a 491hp 1995 Eagle Talon AWD. 6-bolt swap, Garrett GT30R turbo with a 38mm Tial gate @ 27psi, ross pistons, eagle rods, HKS 272 cams, Meth injection, DSM-Link etc etc… Such a fun car to drive. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/IMG_7620.jpg?t=1311811396](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/IMG_7620.jpg?t=1311811396) The initial build - A lot has changed since then. This turbo is the Bullseye 60-1. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2296.jpg?t=1311820074](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2296.jpg?t=1311820074) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2290.jpg?t=1311820077](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2290.jpg?t=1311820077) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2174.jpg?t=1311820139](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2174.jpg?t=1311820139) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2171.jpg?t=1311820147](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/alovelydeath/Engine/100_2171.jpg?t=1311820147) I mentioned that I do photography as well. I wanted to show a little bit of that and if nearby, I’d like to do some shooting. I do have an automotive rig that I use for some of my ‘rolling’ shots. ![http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6150/5976081979_06092e7dba.jpg](http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6150/5976081979_06092e7dba.jpg) ![http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6145/5962016445_43d19f03bb.jpg](http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6145/5962016445_43d19f03bb.jpg) ![http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/5937172781_35d39612ce.jpg](http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/5937172781_35d39612ce.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3349/5809452501_d91410271d.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3349/5809452501_d91410271d.jpg) ![http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5174/5593801315_9cf516f4e0.jpg](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5174/5593801315_9cf516f4e0.jpg) More can be seen on my website [http://www.jbalduf.com](http://www.jbalduf.com/) Although, I am pulling the website for a few days to redo the whole thing. It’s a little difficult moving to a new place and without my car, but I’m looking forward to meeting some new people, photographing some new cars, and having some new adventures on my career journey. Thank you for the time 🙂 ---

Howdy, I’m live just north of NYC and am there very often. I don’t have a car worth of pictures… yet. One needs to be cleaned up, the other is a “beater”. ---
