day 207: half empty / half full

When I fly I'm reminded of how many people are on this earth: it's a visual reference. Each one of those little boxes houses a family of 4.3 who are living their lives. Each of those cars on the freeway is running errands/on the way to work: using natural resources. How did we get to this point? we've sectioned out land on a grid. Unemployment is at 11.6% (in California) I look down and think of all the unemployed. Wow! talk about my glass being half empty? I should think of the positive. More family members taking care of the family rather than in child care. Less cars on the freeways=less polution. There is always a flip side to any situation. What will we learn from this time in our lives?

day 206: apocalyptic skies

I was at Westfield Century City this afternoon, and realized the sky was hazy. I took this picture above, but the picture below is from a couple of weeks ago. Yup, that's the air we're breathing in. :(

day 205: USA v Mexico


Ken and I went for a hike and then I had RSVP'd for this USA/Mexico Nike event in Hollywood. We were served free PBR, Tacos, Hot Dogs, Red Bull and water. It was awesome. Donovan scored for USA early and it quieted the Mexican fans. It was awesome. Although we lost, it was a great game and a great event. I hope Nike continues these events.

day 204: bathroom renovation


This is another preview of a bathroom renovation I photographed. I intentionally picked the most abstract photo, because I don't want to give away too much until the client has seen the proofs. :)

day 203: twinkle time

We went to Americana at Brand (basically a different version of The Grove in Glendale) to see Twinkle Time perform. The kids were mesmerized, it was hard to get any emotion out of them other than bewilderment. :) I'm sure the conversation at dinner was filled with smiles and laughs. This is another preview. I have so many pictures to proof.

day 202: kristy & steven

This is a preview of the photo shoot I had with Tim, Kristy and Steven. I will post more pictures, but aren't these two kids adorable, and Tim, too. :)

day 201: Henry & Rod's Surprise Party



A couple of weeks ago, Chadonna and I were talking about my and Henry's trip to the Getty on Saturday night with Cut Chemist. We realized that Henry and Rod did not celebrate their birthdays. How very Cancer of them, so we took it upon ourselves to throw them a surprise party. If we botched this surprise we would be the worse party planners ever, because it was nearly a month after Henry's birthday and two weeks after Rod's.

It went off without a hitch. We enjoyed a beautiful evening amongst a few close friends and music. We picnicked and drank 'juice.' Rod & Henry were both surprised. Happy belated Birthday, Rod & Henry!

Here are more pictures from that day.
