Hot Stuff Cafe

Not your regular Hong Kong style cafe. The Chef actually takes the time and plates his food. The place is in a non-descript part of San Gabriel Blvd, almost hidden. What a surprise for a place that sounds like another HK cafe. The cafe has a seasonal menu so you are most likely not to get the same thing every time. They serve beer and wine and the pricing is reasonable.
Taste is subjective so try the place and let us know what you think.

The High Road

Ive been listening to The Broken Bells for awhile now and finally the release their first video for their single The High Road this past Wednesday. I cant tell you how good i think this band is. It was the perfect soundtrack to all the driving i have been doing lately. Well folks here is the video…… Enjoy!

BROKEN BELLS – THE HIGH ROAD from EJiN on Vimeo.

Private

PRIVATE – My Secret Lover (UK Explicit Version) from PRIVATE on Vimeo.

I cant tell you how much i LOVE this band. This video is shot so well. Well anyways i first played this song when i recieved it about 9 months ago at a gig i was doing and everyone was groovin. But in the back of my mind there was a different scene playing. Maybe a red convertable Ferrari cruising Rodeo Drive with a blonde on one side and cigarette hanging out the window while the southern california palms trees are information in the rear view mirror! It reminds me of a good 80’s movie opening sequence but this video has made me change my mind on what i see everytime i hear this song now!

Last December I had the honor of shooting Brian & May’s maternity & Christmas card photos. The shoot also included their two pets as well and from my experience so far, pets are easier to shoot than most two year old children! You give a dog a treat and they’ll love you. Ha!

Since Brian is a Michigan U alumni, we decided to incorporate Michigan baby clothes in the shoot. Here are some of the photos from the shoot.

Blue Gold: The Movie

BLUE GOLD is a new documentary on the iconic blue jean – from the working man’s pants to the phenomenon it is today. The film includes stories from collectors, vendors, historians and denim legends. If there is a film to get me more amped than National Geographics, it’s this one.
