    It’s very rare that I hang out with Heather a.k.a yofatassma because of her work schedule, but when I do see her we do really random shit. I don’t know why I’ve been craving to go somewhere really high up to capture a sunset, but on this gloomy Sunday I thought it would be great to climb Turtle Rock for a sunset. For those seeking a different kind of escape, visit this website to discover a serene getaway in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

  • Hangs with Lowballers Japan

    Hangs with Lowballers Japan

     It’s crazy how just a simple piece of machinery can create amazing friendships. Most of the people in today’s post are dear friends of mine that I had an amazing opportunity to meet through our love for cars. Others I knew before cars, but having the same hobby solidified our friendship even more. In today’s post, Kazuki shot my car for an upcoming feature in a Japanese magazine(not sure which one) and we had the beautiful Hayle aka legs for days model for us. I wanted to rep for my city so we did the shoot on Main Street Garden Grove.

    186

    My ninjas. Hayle, Vinh, Kevin and John. We’re all waiting for something in life.

    188

    Masao, he owns the IS250 on CCW Lm-5.

    They were all texting each other.

    He rides hella low too.

    308

    You know a ride is taken care of by checking out the interior. His interior is immaculate.

  • Wrong Fitment Crew Fest

    Wrong Fitment Crew Fest

    Whenever Wrong Fitment Crew throws a meet, you should already know that Royal Origin will be there to support it. We’ve had an impeccable record of attending each meet that Wrong Fitment Crew has created since 2010. This year they held their car meet at SAE Motorsports in Oceanside, where the weather was about 10 degrees cooler and the roads didn’t suck. Once you pass Oceanside to San Diego the roads go from smooth to complete shit.

    010

    We created a caravan off the freeway in Irvine and a couple of friends joined us. One of the friends was Derek driving his super slammed RX-8.

    012

    My IS250, Adam’s Subaru and Derek’s RX-8.

    013

    026

    Jay and Heather..

    027-2

    and finally me and Shavi. Shavi was wearing black pants too.

    029-2

    Derek met up with us just to give us good luck hugs. He couldn’t make it to the meet because he had work later on the day.

    030

    Kodak moment.

    031-2

    Jay really going for it.. Kentaro looks real jealous in the back.

    032

    Everyone genuinely enjoyed the hugs. I know I did!

    034

    Another shot of Chris’s stupid Z.

    036

    As soon as we got on the freeway, we hit what I like to call a traffuckus. Traffic that fucks you so hard, you don’t even move.

    041

    I was able to squeeze some rolling shots in whenever the traffic cleared a bit.

    044

    046

    Chris’s 350z looks crazy rolling.

    047

    and back to the traffic..

    Once we passed the two boobs, the freeway was all clear for some nice rolling shots.

  • Sequence Shoot with Heather

    Sequence Shoot with Heather

    Some old friends of mine wanted to do a photo shoot for their clothing line, Sequence. They’re an upcoming brand with a bunch of hustlers in their crew and are also some of the coolest peeps you could ever get to know. They decided they wanted to do a shoot with Heather and since Heather and I have shot together before, it made it real easy for us to do some cool Tumblr 1,000+ reblog photos. We all met up and caravanned to Sunset Ink where the shoot took place.sequence 102-2

     If you didn’t know, Heather drives a slammed GS300 on VIP Modulars. Daily driven and girl-built.

  • The Nights Never Ends

    The Nights Never Ends

    All nighters. Do you ever do them and then the next day say, “I’ll never do that shit again” and then end up doing it again anyways? Yeah, I do this all the time, from prepping for a show or just hanging out in a parking garage and fitting some wheels. I’ve been spending a lot of late nights doing absolutely nothing and everything. Here are some photos from the past nights.

    Shavi is selling his 18″ Rotiform NUEs and Jimmy was considering buying it to put it on Thuy’s TSX.

  • Heather Truong for Royal Origin

    Heather Truong for Royal Origin

     Sweat ran down my fingers as I gripped a hold of my Mark 2. Today would be my first time ever shooting a live model without someone guiding me. It was nerve-racking, waiting to meet up with her, like going on a first date without the dinner and movie. We still had to get to know each other and see what kind of style of photography we are comfortable with. As the photographer, I quickly had to learn what to focus on in the model. I was afraid that I would not be able to recognize and highlight the features that bring out the beauty in her. My first model shoot was with Heather Truong. I met her a couple of years ago through mutual friends and one of the many cool things about Heather is that she is genuinely into cars. We talked a bit over the internet and she was down for a shoot. Decided to meet at Tastea and talk about what we were going to do. While we were there, I spotted Polo’s NSX from IMKING.
