El Monte Bus Station for Metro

I shot this yesterday, at the end of a very long and good day's work.

Was CicLAvia rad? Do unicorns exist?

First In Space

Space Dog Giuseppe, Joseph Tepperman and Alan Nakagawa. Read about their installation at the recent 2012 Long Beach Soundwalk here. Though it's been happening for nine years, this was my first visit to the annual event. I will surely return next year.

Endeavor, Killer of Trees

I'm pretty sure these ficus trees on a traffic island on Crenshaw, a little south of Slauson, are among those endangered by the pending Endeavor trip to the California Science Center. I shot this photo in January, 2010.

Sad Garden

I usually try to show garden triumphs here, but for a bit of a change—maybe even a touch of honesty—here's the current state of affairs. Work has been busy. So too everything else. The garden is neglected, mostly dead. But by my count fall—our favorite garden season here in Picfair Village—is a mere 19 days away. Let the preparations begin.

Metro, Ken Gozales-Day & Me

I'm photographing art and architecture along Metro's new Orange Line in the Valley throughout August, and here's an image from the first day of shooting, which, mercifully, was not too hot. Landscape photo and tile mosaic by the incredibly talented Ken Gonzales-Day. (You owe it to yourself to check out his Hang Trees.) This photo that I shot appears courtesy of Metro. (And a huge thanks to the inspiring Alan Nakagawa.)

The Knowledges, contd.

Came across this at Mt. Wilson, while wandering through the Knowledges. If you know anything about it, I'd like to hear it.

May Your Day Be as Good as This Was

Artifact # 17: Last Day of Art Camp

Which one is my kid's? That'd be beside the point.

Hammer VBB, pt. 2

Fossilized dinosaur poop holding up books. Hands-down the most minimal setup I saw at the VBB. If you can ID the artists responsible, please let me know.

Hammer Venice Beach Biennial

Our whole family had a blast visiting the Hammer's Venice Beach Biennial yesterday, and I scored this cheery addition to the Pelican case that holds my lenses thanks to artists Alexis Smith and Scott Grieger.
