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.
Five Guys Burgers
Yeah, Yeah…i know its a chain. But there are only two locations here in the LA County area. One in Cerritos and the other one in Carson.
This place is supposed to be the In-N-Out of the east coast. Personally i think that In-N-Out is the best fast food burger around. Their #1 combo (double double, fries and drink) is what i usually order and damn do they make some delicious grub. Only using fresh ingredients and making their fries from scratch is another one of those things about them that make me smile… Well, back to me writing about Five Guys.
Five Guys uses fresh ingredients too, their menu has a bit more stuff than In-N-Out. You can get Bacon in your burgers and they also serve hot dogs (didn’t get to try those). They also have complimentary roasted peanuts (Yay for free peanuts). I had the Bacon Cheese Burger, large fries and a coke. The food is decent, better than your average fast food joint. Portions are big but you will probably end up spending around 10 bucks for your meal.
Overall, a new choice for a decent cooked to order, fresh ingredients burger, fast food joint. I will go back and try it again. Anyways. here are the pics…

Rain On
What can i say? I love the rain and living in Southern California its pretty damn rare. So i guess Toni Toni Tone got it wrong cause its been raining for 4 days straight in Southern California. So i was driving around today meeting with clients on new design projects including a well known celebrity and his wife. This song came was playing on my ipod as I was at the stoplight and the rain was pitter pattering on my windsheid. All i can say was “Perfect!” and smiled.
I’m Singin’ in The Rain
With four straight days of soaking rain here in Southern California, i need a pick me up from this dreary weather. What better to do than to be Singin’ in The Rain.
Here is a famous clip from the 1952 comedy musical Singin’ in the Rain starring Gene Kelly. Whenever it rains, I tend to sing this song in my heard…definitely a classic.
Photowalk: Newport Beach
Me and my photographer buddies had arranged a photowalk in Newport Beach, CA pier this past Sunday where we walked along the beach taking random photos. We had timed it so it was close to late afternoon where we can catch the infamous “Golden Hour” which is when the time of day close to sunset where the sky is rich in colors and where the color of our skin tone is golden. I managed to capture some photos off the pier. I can’t believe how crazy beautiful a day it was. This is what we Southern Californians experience in January.
We hope to do some more photowalks in the future so if any other photographers are interested just contact me. Downtown Los Angeles would be the next meetup.
