OK….so I’m way past due on deadlines and a few people are worried but don’t trip…..we got this. This is the first time that I’ve ever been this late but trust me it won’t happen again – or at least not this bad. LOL… I’m not making excuses for any of my actions but shit happens and the bottom line is that it’ll get done and it’ll get done right. This past weekend started off in high-gear and even with the weather being f*cked up, our team stayed up on the grind. We had a host of problems, a few cancellations, a few vehicles that had mishaps but in all we kept the faith and surely enough we pulled off a total of six shoots. We were so slammed with work that I wasn’t able to make it to an art show I was supposed to attend – Sorry homie….got caught up at a shoot but I know you held it down. Tomorrow we’ve got two more photo shoots going down…one in Hollywood Hills and one in good ol’ Calabasas and even crazier is the fact that in the past three days we’ve whipped up just short of 30,000 words in edit for not only HH but a few other projects we have in the works. OK…OK….Right about now I’m rambling and have diarrhea of the keyboard but I will say this though…I got a strong ass team that doesn’t play around, and when it comes to being resourceful, efficient, positive and dedicated, I’ve got a dream team of bad mofos that get down. On the reals….this shit ain’t a game. We take our craft seriously and I’m so super amped as to how everythings been going down. The right calls came into play, the perfect schedules worked out and even with all the bad shit that went down it all worked out perfectly and I couldn’t have asked for more. Gotta get back to writing and photo editing but here’s just a few flicks from over the weekend…… (more…)
I could already imagine how much trouble I’d get into with this contraption. Equipped with two on board cameras, you can control this drone using your iPhone. It also comes with two ultrasonic transmitters for stability, a two-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and another single-axis yaw precision gyroscope to top it all off. I’m not really sure what that all means, but damn, it sounds fancy. To control the Drone: hit the take-off button so the Drone hovers at three feet, then use the controls to rotate left and right, climb, and then use a button to tilt and fly the quadricopter in any direction. The Drone can even be used indoors, as it comes equipped with shields around its rotors to allow it to bump against other objects. There’s no word of a release date yet, but expect to pay anywhere from $400 or more.
The Catch over in Anaheim has been one of top picks when it comes to good eats and after shutting down (to move to a new location down the street) they’re finally back open – well sort of. I went down there a few days ago to grab a bite to eat and it turns out that they were still closed but luckily for us they were getting back into the groove by having a soft opening in order to get the chefs, waitresses and entire team back into the groove. Well, luckily enough for us, the owner spotted us and told us to grab a seat and said that we’d be helping him out and doing him a favor. So you already knew we ran for seats and got ready for another great meal over at The Catch. The first thing they did was hand you an envelope with instructions and then our waitress came over to brief us on how it was going to go down. (more…)
The rains back and I’m loving it even though I had to cancel a photoshoot today. As it is, I have two shoots scheduled for tomorrow and we’re shooting it rain or shine. It’s bad enough that I’m already behind on deadlines but there’s no point stressing out now. The only thing there is left to do is get the job done. I’ve pretty much exhausted my resources and went way out on a limb but in the end it’ll all be worth the while because I might be late but the one thing I will never do is compromise the quality of the magazine. This weekend we’ll have a total of five shoots going down so the next few days are going to be a bitch with photos/ editing and writing but in the end we’ll all pull together to make this shit happen. In the meantime, stay dry, stay focused and never be complacent because life’s too short to be mediocre! We’ve got more of that good stuff coming.
Japanese architects are well known for their experimental, contemporary, minimalist architecture. Black, white and gray are only colors used in designing the interior. The interior of the house with an elegant touch of Japanese minimalism, from all angles, which peacefully surrounded by forested nature. The tea house is one of Japan’s most original and significant architectural forms: a small, simple space for the tea ceremony that traditionally requires a hearth, straw-mat flooring, and a low entrance.Modern Japanese architects have found the challenge of redefining this highly formalized and constrained idiom almost impossible to resist.

The Devil’s Pool in Victoria Falls in Zambia is not for the faint hearted. With a drop of over 3,000 feet it’s not for the stupid and clumsy! But as crazy as the pictures appear it’s really not that bad – or at least that’s what I hear. Some think the pics are shopped or fake but click check the next page for actual video footage. As for me….I’m cool on this.
Here’s a few photos that were sent over by the homie Nabil from Abu Dhabi. The photos show just a few of the cars in the collection owned by his buddy Miqdad and right about now I’m sure a lot of you are feelin’ the matte white BMW X6. The beast is sick and the center exit exhaust is fire.
About two years ago I heard this quote from the homie P and I had to write it down. It’s one of those sayings that gets stuck in your head and I wrote it down on a piece of tape that I threw up on my wall. It’s a simple quote with deep roots that leaves you with no option but to understand that you control your destiny, your failure and ultimately your success.
An old school ride is a must in your collection and if you’ve got some extra change – and are a fan of BMW – than why not drop a 1966 BMW 200CS Alpina into play. This is quite obviously a recreation but it’s still a sick ass scheme.
If you’re looking for a new breakfast spot and haven’t been to Marston’s then you need to check it out. It’s a trip because it’s located in an old house and it’ll give a lot of other spots a run for their money. If you go then make sure to get the french toast that’s coated in corn flakes. Bomb.
