Another piece of interestingness:


This sign in the middle of the sidewalk in Long Beach made me wonder what on earth the concept of this store was.

Lazy Post

I'm a lazy butt. I went through my iPhoto and scoured my Buenos Aires pics for images. It's been gray out lately and my desire to photograph has been zapped. Sorry, but enjoy...

Five Things (POST 1)

Welcome to Five Things. Basically, I like to walk around a lot and just take snapshots of things I find interesting. There's no theme. But, I'll just post five things from the random pics I usually take. Below is the first in the series. It was taken in Silverlake on Riverside Drive towards Dodger Stadium a few Sundays back.


This is a sign that's been up for as long as I can remember in Silverlake. I don't think it's even a working business anymore. I love the texture of the background and the word itself.


There's this small plot of land surrounded by a chain-linked fence. The owner is probably like me and unable to throw anything away. I like this mannequin with the mustache.


Here's a the back of a signpost right outside the ever popular, hipster Cha-Cha Lounge. The first thing I noticed was the racist Asian face sticker, then the pale-faced Obama one with some kind of Russian/Polish type.


Oh, some clever artist put a phone booth in the middle of the sidewalk by the bank. Then they labeled it "Cell Phone." I'm still waiting to see someone try to be funny and make a call inside of it.


Lastly, this pic isn't reproducing well here on the web, but it's got such a great color combination. Don't think the building owner planned it, but over time the colors have faded into hues that I feel would make an interesting Nike sneaker.

Last Long Beach Post, Ever (I swear).

My lazy-butt has only been taking pics during my lunch hours in Long Beach. I promise to start adding more variety. But, I give credit to the city of Long Beach for making the town photographable. At least, below 7th Street (local joke, ha-ha).








Very cool. They even have living fish in the lagoon!

The Offline World (Pt 2)

"C" said it perfectly in her post. Cambria was a refreshing weekend away from being constantly connected. Here are more pics from that memorable trip.
