I took a hooky day last week with my friends Jon and Al and spent a few hours among the roller coasters at Six Flags. I originally had told them I couldn't join them, but two projects ended up...

The Monday part of our weekend trip with our parents was a visit to the Smithsonian's new National Museum of African American History and Culture. I didn't know much about the museum what to expect, and I think I

Sunday I met up with my sisters for the main reason for this trip - a combined Mothers and Fathers Day present to take our Mom and Dad to a ballgame and

When planning for this DC trip a few weeks ago, I remembered that there's a Six Flags here and I discovered that it was pretty easy to get to by Metro. Even though I grew up an hour away from DC...

It's been a while. For a lot of things. And while I've been better about getting back in my old habit of snapping pics blindly as I go, I still haven't gotten better at being in the habit of turning them into posts here. I'm in DC for a few days. It's been…

Just sharing a few older pics that I never posted. As I've tried to get back in the habit of shooting pics and blogging again, I've often managed to just do the first half of that. One example is from June when...

Last week after getting my hair cut, I stopped at the nearby poke shop in Santa Monica. (Have I mentioned my poke addiction?!) While I was eating, I was staring across the street at some figures walking down the alley. Something about the way the light was catching them…

Last Sunday I trekked out to Ontario, California and the areas surrounding it for another piece of the interior design photography project I've been working on. The photos will be art for a local office in the area and I do some research online ahead of time, but it's fun to go

My cousin Mark was in town yesterday, so we spent a few hours hanging out. We didn't really have any plan or anything specific to do or see, so we just wandered the neighborhood with a walk down The Strand, a drink downtown, and back to

I delivered that 30x40 print taken for a new downtown office that I mentioned in an earlier post to my client today - and while I saw from the map that their office was in the Chinatown area, I didn't realize it was right in the central plaza. LA's original Chinatown was

You've gotta have a good reason to leave the beach to go to the Valley. And an even better one to go in a heatwave. Leave it to my friend Pat to have a reason: a birthday poolside cookout. Actually the heat didn't seem

Lately I've been working on a project that is kinda fun in how out of the ordinary it is for my usual work. A local interior design firm found a photo I had done of the CalTrans Building and asked about getting a large print for a conference room of a downtown office they were doing. The original file was
