Default Summer Road Trip to NorCal for my Lexus Anniversary :)

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a great Saturday!

For my car's 2nd anniversary at the end of July, I did a mini road trip up north (i'm from L.A.) and visited San Francisco, Monterey, San Simeon. Here's some pics from the trip. I just love taking pics of my car.

ALSO: during my trip I met up with Ejay (Limestand Photography) for a shoot of my car. I *wish* I could share those pics with you but I haven't received them and probably never will. I have attempted to contact him in every possible way, phone, voicemail, text, Facebook, Instagram. He just completely ignores me. Not a single word. When I ask on IG or FB about the pics, not only am I ignored but the comment is deleted. I'm now banned from his Facebook page and he blocked me on Instagram. All this just for asking (nicely btw) for my pictures. I'm pretty sad because I was so looking forward to them and this was the first shoot I ever had with a photographer for my car. I have nothing to show for it minus a few teasers.

ANYWAY...I hope you like my own pics below. Im still an amateur in the DSLR world so I'm still learning .






















This picture is not from my trip, this was taken in Malibu along PCH. I just wanted to share it lol.

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment :-)

Yes, he took the pics with his camera. He has shot other CL members' cars too. People I've asked also told me they don't have their pictures and were ignored when asked. I just don't understand. He actually does really good work and I was looking forward to working with him. I just hate that I was fooled because he seemed like a really cool guy.

Story makes no sense. He came to take pic of your car and won't give them to you? Why would he not give them to you? Did you not pay him?

Looks like a nice road trip. Sorry to hear about Ejay. He's shot my car a couple of times and I know him. He is a really cool guy but I've only gotten a few shots from my shoots as well. I have some great rolling shots from him posted in the 2IS rolling shot thread. Hope you get something.

I met him in San Jose on my way from San Francisco to Monterey and yes I did pay him. Why he won't give them to me is what I have been wondering. I have no idea.

Yea it was fun, going on drives and taking pics of my car is always fun for me. I think I saw some pics he did of your car. I cant even look at pics he did anymore it only reminds me that I have nothing. I really doubt I'll get anything from him which is unfortunate too because we really clicked at the shoot I had a great time and now, nothing. Idk if you know the FNCY crew, they reposted my pic on Instagram where I was saying what Ejay did, and a lot of people came out saying basically what I'm saying. I just don't understand how he could be this way. This especially hurts because it was my first car shoot with a photographer and rolling shots was something I wanted for a long time. Anyway, I guess you live and learn.
