Join me on November 5th at 5:30pm PST as I share my work while narrating what it means for me to access and act on creativity. In conversation with Douglas Hill. I will explore how I broke-through my old patterns of seeing in order to generate my photographic point-of-view.
This event will be hosted virtually on Zoom. A link to the event will be emailed to you after you RSVP.

- Ezekiel Wheeler, (Automotive Culture Consultant) Founder / CEO of Auto Conduct- “Hey Tony, I’m taking the leap! I’m launching my automotive media website after months of organizing, refining, planning, curating and now...executing!
I’ve attached the editor’s letter as a ringing of the bell, so to speak, about why Auto Conduct became what it is today.
I’ve also attached a photo of my contributing staff who will help start the wave of change in the automotive media industry.”
-Ezekiel
Welcome to the all-new AUTO CONDUCT — a platform celebrating the auto-industry the way it was meant to be: for everybody.
As the global pandemic continues to grip us all, and rising cultural tensions ignite social change, we decided it was time to rethink our values as a brand and figure out how we could be at the forefront of making a difference in the industry on a much larger scale.
Which is why we’ve turned AUTO CONDUCT into a full-fledged media outlet and are excited to share this new motorized community with you!
We’re still bringing you the latest in cars, and finding amazing people with brilliant rides and engaging stories like you’ve never seen before... but now we’re amplifying the diverse voices that make up the heartbeat of car culture.
So we sought out visionaries and storytellers who continue to strive for an outlet to straight up represent. Then we gathered them here to share their vast knowledge and clear passion for the industry.
Our team is built from the ground up, to better reflect those longing to be seen — women, people of color and the LGBTQ community to name a few. We offer a place where careers can begin and not just settle in.
AUTO CONDUCT will be the global source of car culture in real time.
Here’s a picture from one of our production days.
Thank you,
Ezekiel Wheeler

- Robert Gallagher, Photographer-
“As a photographer I love my work most when I'm simply floating around my subject and documenting. So the small-footprint, scrappy, editorial-style shoots that Covid demands is a perfect fit for what I do best. Working solo and with a mobile grooming and wardrobe, this socially-distant, Covid-compliant profile of Jay Shetty was for The Observer Magazine in London.”

Rick Caughman teaches drawing, painting, and art history. He has had a long-time career as an exhibiting artist and illustrator. Rick teaches two classes at San Bernardino Valley College and co-hosts the workshop with me.

Abraham Atandare is an art student at SBVC. He is originally from Nigeria, loves photography and would like to become a commercial professional photography. He sets up his own photo shoots in his bedroom.
Luisa Notarangelo is a student at SBVC and will be transferring to a four-year college in graphic design next year. The image is one of her beginning drawings in Adobe Illustrator. She has secured an online internship for herself through a Federal Agency and is not afraid to put herself out there.
Benjamin Vincent is a professional illustrator and works in Texas. He often sits and draws on his tablet when we hold the workshop. The illustrations I am sending you are one-day challenges Benjamin is doing because of COVID. Benjamin is an Art Center alum. Rick and Benjamin met while students at the Art Center.
Tony Sheets is a painter and sculptor. His work is well known, and his father was Millard Sheets. He and Rick have worked on joint projects in the past. Tony spends time between Oregon and the Mendocino coast.
