100 Abandoned Houses

Looking Into the Past – a gallery on Flickr.

I’ve been in Vietnam for a few days now. I don’t yet have words…

Kim sent me a link to this collection called Sentry about gallery desks in Chelsea. I love the feeling of calm in all the pictures. It’s also pretty funny to see all the tops of peoples heads. Anyone who has been to enough galleries will recognize this scene.

This morning I received an email saying that a photo I took (which they found on Flickr) was going to be on a website called Schmap in their guide to LA section. I am representing my old neighborhood of Echo Park. My new neighborhood of Atwater Village didn’t even make the list!

Visit the guide here.

I saw these in the San Francisco airport last week. The artist is JeongMee Yoon from South Korea. I thought they were really cool. You can see more pictures on the artist’s website. Girls in pink and boys in blue. The children are adorable.

There was the most beautiful tree outside a Palm Springs area Trader Joes. We dubbed it the bee tree because all the bright yellow flowers had attracted a swarm of bees. Yellow, green and blue feel like such a positive color combination to me. After studying this tree I started noticing them all around Coachella and Palm Springs. I wish we had these in Echo Park.

I received an email announcement about a new show at one of my favorite photography stores in Hollywood:

The Photographic Dictionary.

This is a lovely site of photos organized like a dictionary. There are many different styles of photography to be found here and I believe the project is still growing. I love the wabi sabi feel of the site. I have always favored super simple web design; especially when showcasing photographs. Lately I have been a big fan of group projects.

100 artists at Sugar Salon.

I built this light box from a cardboard box, a big piece of white stock paper, two handkerchiefs and a clamp light. The light bulb is an eco friendly sunlight bulb. We picked that Meyer Lemon on a fallen fruit walk through Silverlake last week.

I went flora hunting in Mt. Washington the other day.

I started a new project today. It will be a collaboration with themes and everything!
