Captialism
Up early for no good reason. Decide to walk to the store and get some powered sugar for the top of the Bundt cake I baked yesterday, as today is National Bundt cake day. Fine so on the way the light was great, so I took some pictures, enjoy 15 after the link. (more…)

Atwater Silverlake DMZ

Fantastical colors
I have too much time. Time to walk the same routes day in and day out. I see the same bridges, same columns, same houses, trees, light posts and on and on. This will end soon enough. Then I will be on the move.

So now I look and look at the same things trying to keep my eyes in shape, trying to see the same as new, with fresh eyes. Gorgeous light here in LA makes it easier, is a crutch, it helps. But it is not enough. (16 photos after the break) (more…)

24 hour airport delirium.

Stuck in Bangkok’s new international airport for 24 hours the mind will wonder.


Nature of Man

Weather. Patterns. Trees & worn out signs. Urban coral. These things make up the human condition, & define the limits of what humanity has control over. Not much.
