Morning Snap: Livingroom Flora & Refracted Sunlight — 7:10 a.m.
I’m going to try not to comment much on the images I’ll include in this collection of morning snaps, but I feel the need to remark about the light here.
This vase of dried flowers sits on a bookcase at the back of the livingroom, an area of the house that doesn’t get anything in the [...]

Photo Finish
Maybe something was trying to tell me my time at my temp gig this morning was fleeting but I was only listening subconsciously. Either way, for the 2.5 weeks I’d been working in El Segundo, each time I’d park in the employee parking structure I kept on promising myself I’d drive up to the highest [...]

Uneven Stevens
Got home to find a voicemail message from an editor at the Times, calling to confirm I was indeed a writer of a recent letter to the editor signed by me and telling me they’re interested in running it some time this week.

Another 2007 To-Do
On the not-to-distant heels of Franklin Avenue’s walk from one end of Wilshire Boulevard to the other (dowtown to Santa Monica), I’ve decided I’m going to set aside a Saturday or Sunday some time in this coming year to do the same thing with Sunset Boulevard, and finally document this diverse pipeline that courses from Union [...]
