Triple Witching

Photography by AJ Gillet / Words by Chris Davis

Triple Witching Hour is a Wall Street term that I won’t bore my audience by explaining, but suffice it to say it refers to the simultaneous occurence of three important events. This was not a shoot that we set up, fate just placed all three cars in the same place at the same time. Thankfully, AJ Gillet of Ill Photography fame was also there to capture this confluence of Mk5′s. This is his first Canibeat shoot and I won’t be shy in saying that I think his photography style has defined 2010. I know about as much about VW’s as I do about alpaca husbandry, so I’ll just get to the photos.
