Friday Forecast

Had a lunch meeting with Tikko Studios today to go over some business and talk about upcoming projects. Since we share a studio, we’d usually grab something quick for lunch but since it was a “business meeting” Louis suggested Islands conveniently located behind our spot. I think this is where Louis takes everyone for business meetings so if you’re ever craving an Islands burger and need some photos… just holla!

Texting while driving? How about taking pictures?! Take that California Law! Gotta love those clouds…

Now offering bottomless fries (Nice try… Red Robin still wins hands down though).

Big Wave w/Cheese Lunch Special - comes with fries AND a drink for $7 something.

Back to the office… the Commonwealth Collective name comes from the studio being on… you guessed it… Commonwealth.

Grey all day

The benefit of sharing space is that everyones got each others backs. Occasionally, Louis or Tigran would need a stand-in model for test shots. Fortunately for them, this willing model already comes loaded not only with the “Convenience Package” but also the “Sport Package” installed (good looks).

As the guys were gearing up a shoot for 944, I got started on some projects of my own.

Then it started raining mad crazy so I took some random pics…

Tish came by so we could go grab some dinner. The guys were hungry too and ended up coming along as well. I love group dinners! On tonight’s menu: Zankou Chicken (Armenian spot on Ball)

Thought this was funny… they’re watching your every move!

1/2 Chicken (Dark Meat), Hummus, Peppers, Pickled Radishes, Tomatoes.. and their garlic spread… game over.

Shawarma

Louis’ first time

After dinner, Louis being the dessert man that he is suggested we grab some yogurt on the way back. We headed to Red Mango… also conveniently located behind our studio. RM is pretty on point but I’m still a Yogurtland head.

Food coma hits

And that, my readers, was my Friday. Yes, food still makes up 90% of this blog. I don’t care. You guys “eat this up” regardless. Yea Tuan, I’m talking to you!

Have a good weekend, everyone. Drive safe!
