Shapiro Fountain, UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA
Can never get enough of the UCLA campus! 🙂 This is the Shapiro Fountain in the Royce Quad, between Powell Library and Royce Hall. As with the first few weeks of school, there was a group of students behind the fountain doing a trust walk – possibly rushing for a frat?
Madonna, Mr. Brainwash’s Studio, Los Angeles, California, USA
MBW. Mr. Brainwash. Eccentric French filmmaker. Street Artist. Outside his studio on La Brea, at San Vicente in Los Angeles, is this artist’s rotating canvas. Currently, Madonna adorns the outsides of the building, distinctly seen as we drove by. The art is black and white, but has so much character. The cover of Madonna’s new […]
CDs For Sale, Arts & Antiques Fair, John Muir Elementary, Santa Monica, CA
Happening the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month, this flea market is full of arts, antiques and various other items like this CD collection. I passed by signs for it, and thought it’d be interesting to stop by. With proceeds going to John Muir Elementary School to support educational programs, it was also for […]
Lockers, Venice High School, Los Angeles, California, USA
Most famously known as the shooting location of the movie, Grease, Venice High School is located on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles. These were a set of blue lockers located towards the front of the school, although they seemed mainly abandoned.
Bakersfield Sign, Bakersfield, California, USA
Today I was on a business trip – to Bakersfield. I know you’re probably thinking how lucky I am to get to go there for work. A 115 mile drive north of Los Angeles, through the grapevine and miles of nothingness. At least there was more in Bakersfield than I thought there’d be. To make […]

Hiking, Lake Perris, California, USA
Last year, we went camping around the Lake Perris area. We did a hike that started just outside our campground and got to see an amazing view from atop the rocks. The sky was a perfect blue and we could see for a distance all around us.
110 Freeway, Los Angeles, California, USA
Los Angeles freeways are known for being traffic-ridden, but by night, usually its not something you have to worry about. From an overpass in Downtown LA, I took this photo of cars zooming both north and south on the 110. This area of the freeway system is a maze of interconnecting freeways that gets confusing […]
Flamingo, Los Angeles Zoo, Los Angeles, California, USA
It was a hot, sunny day in Los Angeles, and these bright-colored flamingos were cooling off in the pond. The Los Angeles Zoo, located within Griffith Park, is home to many species of animals I don’t see too often – zebras, giraffes, gorillas, among over 1,100 animals from around the world. The zoo is featured […]
