It was cold this morning, had to go get coffee and warm my fingers up before I could shoot (with the real camera...).

Saint Monica
Out at Palisades Park this morning to visit Saint Monica's statue - turns out that's where Santa Monica get's its name. I'm shooting this location for my Multiple Viewings series - I grew up in Westwood and my mother, who was studying art at UCLA, spent a lot of time painting on the pier. The best part of being a kid was the freedom I had to explore and my travels would range from under the pier to the pathways leading back up to the park.

New Color Series: Ordinary Spaces
Just finished printing my first color series in almost a decade and will be taking it to Fotofest this week. These images, many of which were on the blog last year, explore how we are using the land and the beauty that ordinary spaces somehow manage to retain.

Lake Los Angeles
California has a long history of real estate boom-bust cycles. In the mid 60's developers bought desert property, built a lake and Lake Los Angeles was born. My childhood memories of it are connected to the Los Angeles Underground newspaper - a short-lived project of my father's - and the investigative reporting that got his car shot up one night. Now it's a struggling collection of homes, small businesses and movie sets.
What's interesting to me is how we subdivide space in the desert...creating ownership next to abandonment.
