    San Francisco

    Hello all Royal Origin readers! My name is James Baxter and I’m happy to be coming aboard as one of Royal Origin’s newest bloggers. I am based out of Southern California and like to shoot portraits, automotive, and cityscapes. While those may be my areas of focus I shoot anything that catches my eye really; never leave your camera behind! I have been shooting for a little over a year now and I love it more and more with each passing day. I can’t wait to bring everyone more content for you all to enjoy! In the mean time, I leave with you this, my first trip of the year, San Francisco!

    I told myself at the beginning of the year that I was going to travel more in 2015 and I made sure my first spot was going to be in one of my favorite cities, San Francisco.

    I did not get wet taking this photo somehow.

    On the first day I got to San Francisco it was raining really hard, so at the first sign of day break I went out and started exploring.

    After hanging around the Golden Gate Bridge for a while and the surrounding area I decided to cross the bridge to venture into the woods.

    Muir Woods Nation Forest is awesome and I recommend it to anyone who’s going to be in San Francisco.

    Royal Origin 9

    Its about a two hour long hike if you do the whole trial but its totally worth it.

    Royal Origin 7

    Muir Woods is just such a pretty peaceful pace, definitely a nice escape from the rush of Los Angeles.

    On the way back over the bridge I decided to take some more pictures and wait until sundown.

    Royal Origin 3

    It was getting really foggy the later it got, and thats actually a Cruise Ship going under the bridge.

    San Francisco is an awesome city, unfortunately I went right in the middle of a huge storm and didn’t get to walk around much. That being said I’ll definitely be visiting again very soon. But San Francisco is just one of the many stops I’ll be taking this year and I can’t wait to share it all with you and bring you all more photos.

    Free Museum Day | RO Explore

    If you’re building a car or saving up for that next louboutin heels, you have to figure out some easy ways to save up money. One of my ways is to go out with a girl only once a year and that one time is on National Museum Day, where museums are free all over the United States. This year I thought the more the merrier so, I took out three guys that I really like and then these two girls just kinda tagged along.

    Becky happened to recognize this building and said she never got to visit this museum before. Lucky for her she was with me and I love being able to experience the first of something with someone.

    The group got split up after this, some went straight to Flask Mob and the rest went to LACMA.

    Becky and I were the lucky ones that got to go to LACMA.

    A ton of cool stuff in the contemporary art building. I want to use all of them as a piece in my house.

    A giant ass elevator.

    332

    It would suck if they all got stuck in this elevator with a guy who is lactose intolerant and just ate ice cream half an hour ago.
