Out in the streets with my Canon.
I was up on a friends roof the other day and took this photo of the Rosslyn Hotel sign. Aside from the obvious interest in typography I have always found these signs to be much more romantic than the gaudy vinyl monstrosities you see on the sides of buildings now-a-days. There are quite a few down Wilshire and a handful in the downtown area. If you want to see more check out toomuchfire on Flickr.
If you aren’t aware, the Griffith Observatory, in Los Angeles, holds a “Star Party” on the third Saturday of every month. Fortunately for us the “stars” at this Hollywood party aren’t some depressingly self-centered celebrity. For more info on this monthly event, be sure to hit the observatory’s star party page. Photos are from the most recent party on June 19th. More photos on Flickr.
I know it’s late but I just finished going through some pictures from this years Lakers parade. Check out the flickr for more from that day.
I want to give a special shout to the very lovely and talented Natalia Brutalia. I ended an awesome birthday weekend with her and Billy Roper. We spent some time at the pool and then made a visit to the Do Over in Hollywood. Natalia runs the spanking new MEOW blog over on TheHundreds.com. There are some great photos from Sunday, including a awesome picture of yours truly. Be sure to bookmark her blog because there will be some definite treats to come.
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers, the 2010 NBA champions!!! I was fortunate enough to be downtown to witness the aftermath of game 7 and got to snap a few shots on my point and shoot. Additional photos are available on our flickr. Check out those rubber bullets in the photo below. I was shot in the back and in the arm while taking photos and my friend Nick was shot point blank in the leg. I understand the need for the riot police though as I witnessed a few unruly fans break a large window and send a dumpster into oncoming traffic. It is unfortunate that after such a great moment in Lakers history we as a city cant even celebrate without destroying our own city.
Enjoy the photos.
Just got our 1st set of business cards back from our friends over at sideshow press. The cards are 1 color print on the black side with our logo letter pressed on the reverse side. We are all really happy with the outcome and cant wait to get these in circulation. Thanks again to Virginia over at sideshow press, she really took care of us every step of the way. Here are some photos from the sideshow press blog:
