Photography is more than just an App on your phone…

This is the proper way of using a particular mobile phone app……. wait, what?!

With so many “photographers” popping up everywhere at shows, meets and the general internet… makees you wonder what really goes into a quality pictures. Finding the right spot or lighting conditions may not be ideal but you’d be surprised how much post processing is done with quality photos. It’s not as simple as slapping a watermark on the picture. Take a look at these before and after pictures by 1013mm. It’s really amazing how much can be done when conditions aren’t right.

Yeld, caution, GO!

The daily commute should be a relaxing time for most, but for some it can be an utter nightmare. Drivers that don’t signal while turning, cars that swerve in and out of lanes because the driver is obviously “texting”, and did we mention confusing road signs? Well here are a few real-life signs that would probably confuse the average driver.

You a ninja?!

A friend of mine recently told me about this new spot that’s pretty local to me so I decided to give it a shot. It’s called Super Curry. Japanese style curry spot that’s quick, clean and the food is pretty good. I’m not sure if it’s a chain, franchise or privately owned but I do love my curry! 🙂 I like how they call different things on their menu “ninja” this and “ninja” that! I’ve gone twice now and have yet to try the curry because their daily specials are a great deal and the pictures did their job in luring me in!  If you want to try a new spot in Gardena/Torrance area, I suggest this place. The second time I went there they took my order wrong but no bid deal, I should’ve checked it before I left the spot. It was good nonetheless. New spot, with new employees, it’s bound to happen. I’ll keep going back.

Here was the special that I got the first time. All this for $6! Ramen,  Ninja Egg & Pork Tsukune Combo.

Don’t ignore your daily driver!

So I’ve got a Toyota Matrix as a daily driver and let me tell you. I really do not take care of this thing. Aside from the regular preventative maintenance, as long as it runs good I really don’t care how it looks. But it has not seen a detail in I don’t even know how long. Drive through carwashes, parking it outside with the sun beating on it is not something that is good for your paint. By now my paint felt like 60 grit sandpaper even after a wash! my buddy Peter from TeamVitz Detailing said I should drop my car off for a detail so I agreed to it. It was something I’ve been meaning to do for a while but you all know how it goes.. we’re all to busy to take care of our cars. I think I gained more horsepower with this detail than I did adding the More Japan stickers! Continue reading
