Wow! And we thought the first 12 months of operations went fast. Here we are on February 1, 2012 celebrating the second birthday of Hosking Industries.

2011 proved to be a stellar year for the business. We photographed over 70 custom vehicles for magazines all over the country and overseas, picked up several new titles for our client list and met scores of great people out there in the scene at the many shows we attended. We also wrote more feature stories than we care to count. If that weren’t enough, we found enough time to design and print our first photo book containing shots of our 39 most favourite feature cars from our first 18 months or so. You can find a link to that on the right-hand margin of the screen.

In non-automotive business, we found time to get out into the trenches and shoot a few international bands for sites like theAUreview.com and did our first couple of jobs for Australian Hysteria magazine. While we turned down our first offer to go review the coming 2012 Soundwave Festival in Sydney, Hysteria asked us again, so it looks like we’ll be rubbing shoulders with many of the world’s greatest heavy music artists at the end of February. Immediately following, you can expect us to be at a handful of sideshows as well. Looking forward to those!

We’d like to take the opportunity to thank everyone we’ve worked with over the last 12 months for making it such a success, including all the car and bike owners, the guys at Express, Steve at MM&F, Isaac at Australian Classic Car, Joey at Hysteria, Larry at theAUreview, Stuart at LMM and of course Tess, Kate and everyone else.

Here’s to another excellent 12 months!

Cheers,
Ben Hosking
