Location scouting
Jojo & I had to take her cousin Marie back to the airport after a long night out in downtown with the plan to go scout locations for my next shoots. But first, we set off to eat at Tajima because.. #HANGRY. There was this dope STI sitting on work emotions (discontinued) on the way and I couldn't help me take a photo of it. Good set up, bro.
Bobby reminded me to check out this Tajima location while I was in the area so why not try it out before heading out to the canyons. Jojo said she'd rate it 4/5 compared, and I'd agree with her too. The soup was pretty good, and with trying fat noodles for the first time, it wasn't too bad. My chashu fried rice was bland.. like the other locations so that's the last time I'll be getting that again lol.
Onwards to Ramona, we found an area good enough to use my drone and fortunately we arrived with the sunset at the right time so when the day of the shoot comes, we'll be ready. On the way back we ran into an area next Jessica's old place, along with a cool arrangement of mailboxes!
JB & Monique's baby shower
We attended the baby shower of Sawyer by JB & Monique and it was mad fun despite leaving a little bit early to head back to the shop. Any events with the team + friends usually turns out into a mini car show, if not better than most car meets San Diego (lol). Thank you for having us guys! I would have taken more shots inside but we were too busy stuffing our faces with White Castle sliders haha.
Down a the shop, we wrapped up some unfinished business with the Ferrari FR-S and ended up shooting David's E46 for the heck of it. Sam & I thought it was a good idea to try light painting, regardless of never trying it before. I was using a suuuuper small light bar which didn't really help. Fortunately there was a 4 foot light bar that David had, so we used it to paint his car! Came out mad sick after probably 15+ tries lol
