    Neel’s LS400

    Spent the day in down town LA, we planned to do a photo shoot of Neel’s LS400 before he leaves us to Las Vegas for work. We had a pretty good team with Vu, Shavi and Nimo doing video work and Rocky and I shooting photos.  The main photographer was Rocky, I was just hanging out and trying to do some behind the scenes photos.

    The next location was under the historic LA bridge. Many movies and photo shoots have been shot under this bridge.

    Our next location was another famous location, but I guess there was a movie being filmed, so it was closed off with police surrounding the area. We decided to just find an empty parking structure to shoot.

    The lighting was a bit hard to work with, but we had a bunch of fun light painting which none of my photos show. I was the one holding a piece of cardboard to cover the lights when they were light painting.

    Hope you enjoyed the photos and I hope Neel does too. Good luck in Vegas and watch out for some spectacular photos by Rocky.

  • Wekfest LA 2012 Part 3 (Minh)

    Wekfest LA 2012 Part 3 (Minh)

    Here is the last part of our 3-part coverage of Wekfest. All I can say is that it was another successful show thrown by Weksos Industries. We usually don’t go out to shows and meets because we just see the same cars over and over and over again…not hating on the people that keep on coming back, but it’s just nice to see something different for a change. With that kind of thinking, I realized I had lost my way; I forgot that I didn’t go to car shows and meets just to show the world what I have been doing with my car. I also go to hang out with my friends, meet new people, and make bigger connections. I hope I don’t forget that again in the future. I’m going to just leave you guys with some photos that I shot for all the homies and future friends of Royal Origin that attended Wekfest. Enjoy!

  • The Anniversary

    The Anniversary

    After a delicious breakfast at BabyStacks Cafe, some of us headed over to Chivas’ place to get some of the cars cleaned up and to relax for a bit before the meet.

    David, Chivas, and Nimo…probably checking Instagram.

    The Sunkist. All wet.

  • BabyStacks Cafe

    BabyStacks Cafe

    During our trip in Vegas, the Royal Origin and Lowballers fam wanted to gather up for some breakfast. We planned the night before that we would go BabyStacks Cafe, previously known as BabyCakes. Well actually, we had pretty much made it a plan to go to BabyStacks way before the Vegas trip. This was my first time (Vinh) in Las Vegas with everyone, so I was probably the only one who hasn’t had the opportunity to enjoy their bomb breakfast foods. Everyone always talked about how awesome their red velvet pancakes are. I had some pretty high expectations coming in for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It was amazingly life changing; I will never look at ordinary pancakes the same. A must-have if you’re ever in the area. Haha, sorry for my Yelp Review, now let’s see some photos.

    Everyone starting to show up at BabyStacks.

  • Journey to Vegas

    Journey to Vegas

    For the Low Ballers x Royal Origin 2 Year Anniversary, the Royal Origin gang made a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada to hang out with our lovers, the Lowballers. We basically had three separate caravans going on. Some of us left Thursday evening, some left Friday morning (including myself), and the rest left Friday afternoon. I was pretty bummed out that I wasn’t able to bring my car; I had just gotten it back from the shop after some expensiveass electrical issues. I was trying to get it ready, but there wasn’t enough time to prepare. Oh well, enough of my venting and onto some pictures…

    Instagram noob. Follow him @jimmylieu.

    Just chillen on the side of the freeway.

  • The Sauna : Kendama

    The Sauna : Kendama

    After the Swagadega Nights Volume 1 event this Saturday, everyone still wanted to grab drinks and hang-out after that meet. Eventually that lead them to an awesome spot we like to call The Sauna, because it is so damn hot down there in the underground parking that it makes you sweat.  Nevertheless, here is a video by Rocky Wong of us doing what we do best. Cars. Photography. Friends. Kendama. Video.

    Hope you enjoyed that video.
    If you are interested in getting your own Kendama, you can purchase one from Kendama USA: www.kendamausa.com
