In One Piece

Aug

2011

I did make it to San Francisco in one piece – lots and lots of unpacking and a whole hell of a lot of walking have ensued – it’s kind of insane how much easier it is to walk around SF than it is around LA. As an example, here’s a few photos from my ...

2011

So I’ve been super, super busy, but I finally managed to get my pictures of my trip to DC in May up. Highlights include a random visit to the Zoo when I was wandering around town, Mount Vernon, a Nats game, and the Udvar-Hazy center out by Dulles, which is fucking awesome and full of ...

A Month Late And A Dollar Short

A small set of photos from driving Nate’s car cross-country. He, his wife, their two cats, and their two month old son moved from LA to Chicago, and I offered to drive their car since I was scheduled to have nothing better to do and I LOVE roadtrips. This is a mix of stuff shot ...

A Little Bike Ride 3

Jan

2010

I went for a bike ride this afternoon, partly because my cheapo necklace finally broke and I needed to buy a replacement. Fortunately replacements are 2 for $10 at Venice Beach. I actually dragged my giant camera with me this time because it’s been pouring rain and a lot of the usual pollution and gunk ...

And now, in honor of the holidays, a slideshow of some of my (heavily, heavily cropped due to all the cars coming through) photos from the LA DWP’s Light Festival: Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer Full sizes of everything can be found at Flickr – I realize some of the cropping doesn’t make for ...

Pretty Pictures 2

The first, both pretty and telling, comes courtesy of the New York Times’ photography blog’s feature on Dubai. Lauren Greenfield, who had mostly been documenting the way the recession hit here in the States, went over to Dubai and snapped this telling shot: The juxtaposition of the impotent palm tree next to an empty McMansion, ...

Along My Bike Ride Today

2009

I saw it in the distance. And I thought,”What the fuck is that sitting on the sand? It looks like a boat. It…is a boat…”: Okay, so it’s a boat just sitting in the middle of the sand on the middle of a very busy beach. I have a few questions. 1. How exactly did ...
