Pv Has Passion 2

For my second post I can state where I am now, I have finished designing my 3-D project I just need to print it when the printer is available in my drafting class. We are often busy during class so I need to go in during the morning or during any other class and see if he is available to begin the printing process. after my project is printed it will move along smoothly because all I will need to do is assemble my pump and do the rest of the interviews and write ups.


I have easy access to a expert because my Dad has been building lowriders for the past 25 years which gives him knowledge and experience on these systems and designs. I also have multiple hydraulic parts in my house to be able to measure and build my design off of. This process was quite easy for me to go along with because it is something I do regularly on my time off and allows me to get a better understanding of what I'm doing and how it affects those around me.


I had the luck to be able to attend the Lowrider show in Phoenix which gave me the chance to view new designs and ideas as well as a closer view on how things operate. I was able to modify my parts on a small scale to show these changes in designs and innovation over time. What was also good about this entire event is you can see how the community is growing and how they get along and affects those around them,. Their was several thousand people gathered to support one lifestyle and bond as one big family.

Passion Project Progress

My passion project is going well, I am progressing quickly. I have begun the process of printing my 3-D project and waiting for it to finish. I have completed my proposal, but it may need small amounts of editing in my grammar and punctuation. My next step in the process is I need to create my video proposal and add it to my blog but I am not sure where to put it.


One significant thing that has brought a positive effect to the Lowriding community is the movie coming out about Lowriders. This has brought so much attention to the community and hopefully will show a different side to the true story of people who struggle everyday to live this lifestyle. One major factor that will always slow us down is the fact that police harassment always seem to single us out. We need a way to express ourselves without being looked down upon or even forced to be a part of society that is considered as criminals.


Lastly, this project is close to me because it is something I live daily. I have countless memories where my passion was frowned upon or was even harassed by other groups or police for my joys. I want to show theirs more to this community then drugs and gangs. Even though my project will only touch those who are near me or even only those who understand it has a major impact on my lifestyles and self goals.
