056⠀ i’m an ocean sign⠀ -⠀ i’m drawn to water. how can it be that i share all the same traits as people born within the same 30 days as me? i don’t remember my moon sign. but the moon, that’s what brings the waves to shore. that’s what brings the ocean onto land.⠀ -⠀ 📷 #canon #5dmarkiv ✏️ #photoshop⠀ #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #californiacaptures #santabarbara #california_igers #igerscalifornia #funkzone #santabarbarastyle #surfcityusa #oceanside #oceanography #waves #aerial #birdseye via Instagram http://bit.ly/2H1B3l4

055 literally rofl - are we in an alley? does this seem unrealistic that someone would get on the ground in the middle of downtown? is she really laughing? is this a real photo? we’ve all got questions, myself included. - 📷 #canon #5dmarkiv ✏️ #vsco #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #portraitphotography #portraitvision_ #portraitshot #losangelesmodel #losangelesmodels #laphotography #portraitshotz #portraitshotoftheday #photographylover #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #picoftheday #pursuitofportraits #postthepeople #discoverportrait #myexposureedit #portraitphotography #portraitsociety #portraitsshots #portraiture #portraitperfection #visualportraits #portraitunit via Instagram http://bit.ly/2BNrUsM

054 santa barbara’s favorite scoops - sea salt cream and cookies + winter pear crisp. i think the order in how you stack your scoops is super important but i almost never tell them my preference. good thing they didn’t screw it up. is it in the way you order? or just luck...? - 📷 #iphonex ✏️ #foodieapp #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #icecream #mcconnells #sugarcone #sweettooth #santabarbara #foodporn #eeeeeats via Instagram http://bit.ly/2BQzAdT

052 i’m a sucker for neon. - las vegas is an endless sea of neon. and vegas in the winter is so different than vegas in the summer. the people aren’t there but the ghosts are. i hope they never float away. 👻 - 📷 #iphonex ✏️ #vsco #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #vegas #vegasstrip #casinos #bestoflasvegas #neon via Instagram http://bit.ly/2ShUZlu

051⠀ is this content?⠀ -⠀ don’t mind us, just hanging out in an alley in chinatown. office for the day. i want to say this is unusual, but that would be a lie. in fact, i feel like i often end up in alleys for photoshoots. just me?⠀ -⠀ 📷 #canon #5dmarkiv⠀ ✏️ #vsco⠀ #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #portraitphotography #portraitvision_ #portraitshot #losangelesmodel #losangelesmodels #laphotography #portraitshotz #portraitshotoftheday #photographylover #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #picoftheday #pursuitofportraits #postthepeople #discoverportrait #myexposureedit #portraitphotography #portraitsociety #portraitsshots #portraiture #portraitperfection #visualportraits #portraitunit via Instagram http://bit.ly/2U0GDrg

050 the last 7 days - i saw it rain a bunch, i saw it hail in SF, i saw it snow in las vegas. and it was all fine, but i was incredibly unprepared for any amount of winter. not that winter is hard or something that i’m not familiar with, it’s just that i completely forget that this kind of winter can basically happen anywhere - so, i guess it’s mostly my fault. anyway - winter sucks and for all of you that are actually living through real winter, i wish you all the best. - 📷 #iphonex ✏️ #vsco #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #sanfrancisco #sf #tenderloinsf #winterincalifornia via Instagram http://bit.ly/2tvEusa

049 the best! - i saw it snow in vegas last night. some of it even stuck to cars. it’s not snowing in this photo but it’s definitely in the 30s and it’s raining. i made the mistake of getting to vegas without a proper coat. it was ok because i was in a lyft or inside most of the time. the good news is i didn’t lose any money this time. count your blessings. - 📷 #iphonex ✏️ #vsco #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #vegas #fremontstreet #casinos #bestoflasvegas via Instagram http://bit.ly/2Ehbw5r

046 just a camera hanging out in a field. - in an hour from when this photo was taken, it’ll hail. with very little warning. i used to think that i’ve experienced erratic weather but maybe i haven’t. it’s been wild, sf. - 📷 #iphonex ✏️ #vsco #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #sanfrancisco #crissyfields #filmmakers via Instagram http://bit.ly/2GHbIN7

044 work travel - i can’t believe it’s mid-february already. this winter feels different from other winters. los angeles seems like it’s both getting colder and rainier than it has been in the past- like the weather has a funk that it can’t shake. personally, i love it. i enjoy this break from the endless sunshine. it marks the beginning of a new period. it adds variety to the otherwise repetitive “perfect” days. - 📷 #canon ✏️ #hujicam #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #huji #planewindow #raining☔ #raininla #losangelesworld #lax #worktravel #nostalgia #moody via Instagram http://bit.ly/2EaxhnD

043⠀ time travel: 2009 March⠀ -⠀ cabin camping in the middle of winter. i think this was a trip where we crossed icy rivers, barefoot during a hike. it was an easy escape out of pittsburgh into the into a state park. we cooked hotdogs over campfires and drank mugs of hot tea spiked with rum.⠀ -⠀ 📷 #canon ✏️ #vsco⠀ #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #pittsburgh #ohiopyle #pastateparks #pawilds #pennsylvaniaisbeautiful #pacollective #portraitphotography #portraitvision_ #portraitshot #portraitshotz #portraitshotoftheday #photographylover #photographyeveryday #photooftheday #picoftheday #pursuitofportraits #postthepeople #discoverportrait #visualportraits via Instagram http://bit.ly/2thP5Xz

042 eat your vegetables - roasted napa is one of my favorite things. i think cabbage gets a bad rap for being boring or filler, but i think it’s one of the most underrated, delicious things you can cook. take a whole head, quarter it, spoon on some olive oil and some herbs and throw it in the oven. it doesn’t get easier than that. - 📷 #iphonex ✏️ #foodieapp #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #cabbage #napacabbage #homecook #lafood #socaleats #laeats #hungryinla #lafoodie #roastedveggies via Instagram http://bit.ly/2tlglEo

040 reflection/refraction - there’s a palm tree outside that taps against this window when it’s windy. i keep hoping that it’ll get tall enough not to do that anymore but it has yet to happen. but then this happens and it filters the light. i can’t remember where i was going with this. - 📷 #iphonex ✏️ #vsco #xameswong #losangelesgrammers #igtones #mightydreamers #laphotography #laphotographer #lashooters #letsshoot #vscox #newgateclocks #naturallight #nattylight #gobo #clock #afternoonsun #refraction via Instagram http://bit.ly/2DnTXz3
