Canon EOS M Unboxing

I’ve been trying save moola for the past 5 years in pursuit of a new point and shoot.  Yeah..savings and me just never worked out.  But the guys at Knocksville got real thoughtful for my birthday this year and surprised me with a Canon EOS M.  Thanks Blee, Byoon, Zo, AK, Dee, and Jamie Nod!

Immediately I noticed that the Canon EOS M gave me the option to interchange lenses.  It gives me the versatility to add a mount adapter that’ll enable this camera to support Canon EF and EFS lenses with image stabilize and autofocus.  Tiny packs quite the punch.

Mine came with a default macro EF-M 22mm | 2.0.  Shallow depth of field shots lets gooo!

Digg that the Canon EOS M features touch screen focus and menu capabilities.  She also gets a dime for coming thru on the clutch anti-fingerprint coating.

All in all, I’m just excited to start shooting with this bad boy.  Thanks KS fam!

Friends + Family Night at Chego

The big homey Roy Choi invited us to Chego’s Friends and Family night yesterday.  Chego’s one of Roy’s premier fusion restaurants and this Saturday will mark his official reopening since his move from Palms.  It’s now located in the heart of Chinatown on Broadway and Alpine. 

My moms #1 rule: Don’t show up to a guests house empty handed.  Did you peep the headphones?

Tim and Tokimonsta stopped by.

Yes, this is a pigs head stuffed with cash.  In Korea, this is a ceremony named “Gosa” and it is performed for new businesses to ensure safety and goodwill.

Waiting in lines suck.

I got the Chubby Pork Belly bowl.  Two thumbs up.

Rude Jude dropped in.

Mr. All-In-One Actor/Writer/Producer/Director Jon Favreau was in the house.
