Bearded Mug Media Where the shutter hits the word. My name is Bryan and I’ve been into cars for my entire life. I drive Volkswagens and shoot Nikons.

My earliest automotive memories include my Papa’s old black Pontiac, a neighbor’s Ford Tempo and a friend of the family’s blue VW Beetle. My first car was a hand-me-down 1987 Toyota Corolla that was in mint condition, until one unfortunate morning I pushed the limits of the skinny tires too far. A 1989 Toyota Supra Sport Roof replaced that for about a year and afterwards, it's been a string of VWs

, including a 20th Anniversary GTI in the best color - Jazz Blue - and a 16V Scirocco, the worst and only winter beater I've owned. I am also in touch with my JDM side, keeping an '81 Celica in storage until the time is right to repair the brakes and get it road worthy again. I try to attend as many car shows, gatherings, Concours, cruise-ins and impromptu meets as possible and take pictures when I do so. I’ve been into photography for over a decade and am proud of how I’ve honed my style in the last year, and continue to do so with each opportunity I get. Writing has been a passion of mine since college and I am eager to start creating in that medium again. I’ve had a few things published on a national level with some of my images to accompany them. Please enjoy the content I post and drop me a comment whenever appropriate. I always enjoy communicating with people and encourage the opening of a dialogue.

The one I want vs the one I have vs the one I had (plus a bonus from 2002!).

I went for a late night drive last week and stopped at a , one of my favorite places. Call it fate, or a coincidence, or just very good timing, but this super clean Jazz Blue 20th Anniversary GTI was parked in the lot. I chatted with the owner a bit and it really got my nostalgic wheels turning, burning and yearning. I need a fun car again.

Or maybe the Jetta just needs suspension and wheels. I mean, it’s over 30k miles so it’s practically a classic 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, attention and . This is how you used to make special editions. Bring back these kind of vibes. And manual transmissions ya bunch of dopes.

Ferrari, Bugatti, Packard, Tommykaira, Plymouth, Fiat-Siata, Mercedes-Benz…which one are you taking out for a Friday night drive? For me it’s either the Tommykaira M30 or that F40 LM. Or that B-Body Plymouth. Or that SLR. This is hard.

ModaMiami 2025 was an incredibly inviting show and I’m looking forward to returning at the end of this month. The show field from 2025 is going to be hard to top, but I have no doubts they’ll accomplish that in 2026.
