I have driven past the 101 Cafe countless of times and never stopped in. There are many excuses that mindlessly pop in my head, but the truth is that it never intrigued me. That is why this shoot is unique, exciting and rewarding. One of my mottos in life is to continue to explore new places in order to discover treasures and new adventures. Yes, I discovered a great new location.
For this shoot, David Avalos contacted me to photograph a personal project that he is currently working on. I was more than happy to oblige, since he is also more than willing to help you out. The 101 location was chosen as a last minute resort, but it was ideal for photographing old fashioned 40’s cars.
So, what is the 101 Cafe? It is named after the famous highway 101; which has always attracted many tourists. The diner was first established in 1928 by the Ekkren Family. This location has history and continues to attract many visitors. Check them out: http://www.101cafe.net/
Even though, we were shooting in a challenging situation: direct sunlight, constant traffic, and surrounded by the Saturday morning crowd, it was a lot of fun. ( In order to master your craft, you need to continue to challenge your capabilities). As a highlight, The owner of the café YouTubed the shoot and visitors enjoyed the show.
This shoot showcases pieces of the 1940's: social crowds, bikers, couples, and the Oceanside locals.
Thanks to David Avalos and The 101 Café!
