The Sky Is Falling The Sky Is Falling

CBS Studios, Chateau Marmont, Laurel Canyon, a deer, a plane wreck, the hill in “Hill Valley” from Back to the Future, The Chinese Theater, The Hollywood Sign, Capitol Records and Griffith Observatory. Hold on, a plane wreck…? Yeah, a plane decided to crash into an apartment building, scaring a deer on the hillside. No evil […]

Pearl Jam At Irvine Meadows

Hi, my name’s Eddie Vedder. Like Pete Yorn, I too play “Sincere Rock” and take myself way to seriously. I’ve taken the band Pearl Jam hostage and I’m gonna stand here with my guitar for two hours and not really do much. You guys like to think I’m really amazing, so it doesn’t really matter. […]

Amber Alerts

On the road to Pearl Jam… kidnapper alert. Keepin’ my eyes peeled. Even if it is bumper to bumper. Caught the same day two states away. “Amber Alerts” seem to be workin’. Get the code from their site if you like.

Pete Yorn At The Wiltern

Hi, my name’s Pete Yorn. I play “Sincere Rock” and take myself way to seriously. I’m gonna stand here with my greasy hair for two hours and not really do much, but you guys like my music so much it’ll seem like I’m really amazing. Since I’ve sold out two shows at The Wiltern you […]

Neko Case At The Derby

[NEKO CASE VIDEO LINK – 1m:50secs – 320×240 – 4.6mb] The long awaited return of Neko Case to L.A. My favorite singer hits Hollywood with an acoustic set at The Derby. For years I always thought she could do a stellar version of the song “Wayfaring Stranger”. Totally out of the blue what’d she open […]

“Finding Nemo” Premiere

Woo hoo! Walkin’ down the red, er, blue carpet at the “Finding Nemo” world premiere. At El Cap. for the screening and then party across the street at Hollywood and Highland. Slightly clueless why everyone was yelling “Cindy”, “Cindy”, “Cindy” at me when I walked down the carpet. I finally noticed Cindy Crawford was walking […]

Lunar Eclipse

Incredible photo, isn’t it? So we have this full lunar eclipse tonight, and I’m like cool, let’s go check it out. So I go look at it and it looks like it does all month but with a blurry edge. It’s also like 238,000 miles away, but apparently my camera only focuses up to 176,000 […]

Gisele Bundchen

Winston from work wanted to meet Supermodel Gisele Bundchen at The Grove. So we drove over. A court order makes me stay a least 50 feet away from her, but I was able to snap a few pics of her for my shrine, er… portfolio. Sarcasm alert: What’s with the love handle poking out out […]

Daniel Lanois At Amoeba Records

That there’d be Daniel Lanois! My friends are going to fall into two camps. The “Who’s that?” camp, or the “OH MY GOD, THAT’S DANIEL LANOIS!” camp. You already know which one you are. Daniel has produced and played on quite a few my favorite albums of all time. He signed a copy of his […]

Isabella At One

Identification….Processing….Investigation. A few seconds away from a finger print smear on the lens. Isabella’s now 1, fully mobile, and a magnet for broken glass, things that aren’t tied down, and splinters from wooden floors.

Fluevog Shoes

Haight Street S.F. and the Fluevog [LINK] store. According to the chair, Naz [LINK] measures in at about 4’2″ with platforms. I walked out with a pair of Satan resisting “Gibson Swirls”.

San Francisco Pet Cemetery

[PET CEMETERY GALLERY] Because they’re all going to their respective pet heavens… In San Francisco and under the Golden Gate Bridge lies the final resting place of the pets of some overly attached owners. And in animal karmic retribution while I was shooting, my car was riddled with no less than 30 bird shits.

HWY 1

California’s mini Uluru [LINK]. The rock at Morro Bay [LINK]. Stayed here last night in a little seaside motel that had free videos. “Free Willy”, “Solarbabies”, and “Dunston Checks In” were some of the choices. I had asked about what movies were playing in town last night and the desk clerk rolled her eyes and […]

Morro Bay

The goal was to get to Morro Bay so I could hit San Simeon early in the morning. The weather was nice back in L.A. so I threw on a pair of shorts for the drive up. Round about Santa Barbara the weather took a huge turn for the worse. That’s fine when you have […]

Ostrich Land

I’m hitting the road for a week long trip up the coast to San Francisco then home in a day. Hwy 101, south of San Luis Obispo lies Ostrich Land. Little did I know, less than 1/8 of sec. later this piece of shit ostrich would have my pinkie, ring, and middle fingers half way […]

Gettin’ Cocky

“Doc – The classic quivering cock sleeve” “The quiver that makes you shiver” “The Doc has the cure” Someone couldn’t even wait to get in the car. Oh my, I hope they’re not out driving around with this thing in them. Anybody else notice “strap on” spells “no parts” backwards?

Home Away From Home

Ah… Home away from home. Really this is were I spend most of my day. Bamboo beaded curtain, hula lamp, tropical painted globe lights, old projector, turtles, various island trinkets, and a fish net to top it all off. Yes, I’ve looked up her skirt. Nothin’ but wheels and pulley’s and such.

The L.A. Marathon

Somewhat trapped in my house, a bunch of people, 23,647 to be exact, went running by my house for the L.A. Marathon. Some ran, some walked, and unfortunately a lot smelled. Never thought of that aspect of it, but after having run 13 miles they were all smelling pretty bad.

Wayward Crow

I guess he could still fly. Yes I changed the phone number, so if you see our little wayward crow contact me. He’s black, I’m guessin’.

The Cake Delimma

The cake delimma. So, on Saturday we had two full cakes left over from my grandmothers service. Problem is, what do you do with them? They’ve got “in memorium” written all over them. The plan is to pawn one off at work in one of the kitchens. My thought is if they “don’t know” it […]
