Props go out to my homie and Team SCP teammate: Amee Reehal. Amee just won the Pirelli Photogaraphy awards for published and unpublished photos of the year.
Been a helluva year for Amee as he just got married and has now won these 2 prestigious awards. I know alot of Zucru members are into automotive photography, so I thought I’d post up his pics and links.

Press Release:
Both 2008 Pirelli Photography Awards presented to same
journalist — Amee Reehal
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Niagara-on-the-Lake, ONÂ - October 23, 2008
The Pirelli Photography Awards are presented to AJAC members each year
honouring the best in published and unpublished automobile photographs.
Photography is part of the Pirelli culture. The company has created one of the
world’s most well known photographic traditions – the Pirelli Calendar. The
calendar was launched in 1963 from Pirelli’s London office as a gift for privileged
customers, its concept a take-off on the pin-up popular with automobile
manufacturers. But the subtlety of its images and the quality of its photographers
made the calendar a coveted collector’s item.
To his considerable credit, the same AJAC member won both major awards this
year. The 2008 Pirelli Award for Best Un-Published Photograph and the Pirelli
Award for Best Published Photograph go to Amee Reehal of Calgary. It’s worth
noting that the judging is done with the photographer’s name hidden, which adds
to Reehal’s dual win.
In the Un-Published Category, the runners up are Bradley Horn and Brian Early.
In the Published Photography category, Russell Purcell, a first place winner last
year, and Justin Pritchard are the runners up.
In addition to the prestige of the awards, Anthony Paulozza, Marketing Director of
Pirelli Tire Inc presented Reehal with a visit to the Pirelli-sponsored Jim Russell
Racing Drivers School in Mt Tremblant as well as a collector copy of the Pirelli
calendar.
The judges for the award are celebrated photographers Clay Stang and Derek
Shapton of Toronto and Alana Riley of Montréal, all national and international
award winners in their field.

Big ZuCru issue so you better cop it soon as the November issue will be out very shortly!
It was a great time in Edmonton thanks to my hosts. I enjoyed the ride alongs and meeting all the DMCC drivers and Formula D personalities. There is absolutely nothing like a live drift event. Watching it on video does nothing like experiencing the sights and smells of being at the track. I must have gotten the equivalent of a full tire in my nostrils and hairs from all the flying tire particles!
