Jerek and Justin make very entertaining subjects. Both have great expressions and are quite outgoing. Makes my job easier. Tree, Sabby, Ashley, and I pretty much yelled out an emotion and they would imitate it. Nice.
Daaaayum! XD
Now, Mr. Shea had some continuous lighting fixtures sitting around in the photo classroom. So I had the idea to play around with them, and others joined in as the day went on. Thanks to my awesome models! At first there was only Sayo, who looks great when she's laughing, but eventually I rounded up random people to do the whole posing thing.
"Now, THIS is a photograph."
Fooling around with square composition.
Kinda just set up the lighting however I felt like it. Took a test shot, shook it up, went to work. Probably the most fun I've had in some time :D
Later on in the day, I headed out to the Kogi Truck! Or Kogi BBQ. Or whatever it's called. Headed out with Min and Scott, met up with Pastor Lee and his friend Albert once in line. I had to go all the way from USC to Sunset and Santa Monica because the truck at USC had left 24 minutes before our arrival. Bastards. It was quite an adventure trying to find the elusive truck, which we finally discovered upon seeing a mass of people semi-lined up in a parking lot. The truck came, people cheered, then proceeded to wait over an hour for some Korean-taco goodness. Totally worth the wait. Oh, and I saw Ray there! We semi-raced once he let me know he was going. Totally beat him there. Because we rock.
BBQ Pork Tacos, Galbi tacos. $2 each. Wonderfully seasoned meat with a medley of veggies not usually put into tacos. I gladly wolfed them down.
Kimchi Quesadilla. That's right. You read correctly. Kimchi in a mix of melty cheeses between a tortilla. Tasted a lot like buchimgae. But man, was it awesome. I want one right now, as a matter of fact.
Ohhh man. Galbi Burrito. A bit on the sweet side with some sort of asian dressing tossed into it, but still a solid burrito nonetheless. I would actually have gone for the pork one instead, but hey, it was so tasty, I didn't mind all that much.
Moving on to Friday, which was Pi Day :D Lots and lots of pie to go around. Haha around. Round. Pie. Get it? Har har.
Jerek dressed in the most awesome nerd costume ever. I only had Mike Ahn's suspenders to throw on. But Jerek and Kaitlyn gave me one of their Disney World buttons, so s'all good.
Shot up Pi Day, then went back to Shea's where another photoshoot and a stunning model awaited me.
Ashley told me a story about a Forkmaker who went on to become a Sporkmaker. Noooot quite sure how this fit into it, though.
Yup. That's my Ashley right there.
AHAHAHA. There's a great story behind this picture. Ask me about it sometime if you're curious. or Ashley. Or Emily. Or Sayo.
She puts up with my weirdness. I guess it helps that she's weird, too.
In conclusion, I want an all-white room to shoot in with seamless floors and walls. And lots of lighting fixtures. Ya know, I should just make myself a studio in the future. How fun would that be?
Moving on...Yearbook decided to include me into their Senior Ad! Hehe that made me smile on the inside. Although, most of the school probably assumes that I'm already on yearbook. Whatever.
Later that day, went to the CAMS Dance Show with Mikie. Just to get it out there, they're by no means South High Advanced Dance. It was very conceptual-abstract-whatever. Confusing at moments, but entertaining. And they have some amazing individuals on the team.
Mikie and I were starving afterwards, so we caught Five Guys just as they were about to close. It was so overly hyped, I was a bit disappointed. The meat was of good quality but lacked flavor. The amount of BBQ sauce they put on the burger was paltry. At least the jalapenos were delicious. And the grilled onions were unremarkable. But then, I've been spoiled by the onions at The Counter. It was a solid burger, but I failed to see why this was considered the In-and-Out killer or whatever. I'll stick to my 4x4 animal style any day.
But the fries...now those were good. Cooked in peanut oil, they took on a peculiar taste. They were also fairly thick-cut with skins left on. Really felt substantial like good steakhouse fries.
The large size is also VERY LARGE. It comes in a tall styrofoam cup, with the extra falling out into its accompanying paper bag. Quite a good amount for the price.
These past two days have been quite exciting. I've had reason upon reason to smile, and things have only been getting better and better. Here's to good times. I hope they don't end anytime soon.
