Evening stroll, Santa Monica, Calif.

So, in January, I went to this little photo art fair in Santa Monica known as Photo L.A., maybe you've heard of it?

I was pretty inspired when I left the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium to get a bite to eat on the 3rd St. Promenade. What follows are a few of the results from that inspiration.

The Getty Center, Los Angeles, California... Again.




This is an old roommate and friend of mine from Brooks getting his "photo-nerd" on at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

The Getty Center, Los Angeles, California...





I can't think of any witty or clever comments for these photos. I went to the Getty, I took my camera, I shot some pictures... and in the words of the great Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."

Joshua Trees and Giant Yenis, Oh My!

"Giant Woman Poses for Tourists in Joshua Tree" News at Eleven!

Joshua Tree is an incredible place! Unfortunately, I didn't get much time to shoot this visit, but I'll definitely be heading back sometime in the near future.

The final lightpainting image from the Salton Sea.

Okay, I think I'm done with this series now. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to head back out to the Salton Sea again sometime in the near future and do some more lightpaintings. Hope those of you who keep up with this blog enjoyed these and I'll be sure to post more as soon as I do get back out there.

A few more from Bombay Beach.

Remnants...

A few more still to come, stay tuned.

"Butter"

I dedicate this shot to those brave photographers who never made it out of the surreal, visually overwhelming world that is "the Salton Sea." Much love to ya, my fellow photo-geeks. You're in my prayers.
