Atlanta Airport, Georgia, USA (ATL)
Well, after a long flight from Phoenix, I’m sitting here at the Atlanta airport for an even longer layover. For those of you that haven’t been to Atlanta’s Hartsfield Int’l Airport, it’s one of the nations largest hubs and more specifically Delta’s hub (my airline of choice). As a result the airport is rather huge [...]
Go green. Really.
I’m in love. When I emerge back into some amount of normality this coming spring and stop vagabonding it everywhere, this will most likely be my first purchase… and my only form of transportation. I’ve grown to love the public transit system and this will help me fill in the gaps.
The Pelz’s
It’s been a very productive time here in Phoenix with the Pelz’s. Yesterday morning we went to the Bank: then headed over to the scooter shop: then went to tempe. i ran out of quarters: then i bought a bunch of old ads and magazines (post of “Show” to come. Best magazine ever (art magazine [...]
Phoenix, AZ
After a fantastic weekend shooting the US Open, I ran some errands Sunday morning, did some last minute shooting at the open (and grabbed some free pizza and pasta at the VIP booth), said goodbye to friends in the LBC, and then headed out to Phoenix. I’ll be staying here for the next few days [...]
Best shower
Nothing hits the spot like a nice relaxing shower after a long day shooting on the beach. I’m crashing at this ridiculous house in Huntington Beach with the rest of the Casio crew. The music in this video was coming out of the shower. I kid you not. When I showered I listened to smooth [...]
US Open Huntington Beach
After missing my midnight train from Santa Cruz and spending a relatively interesting night in downtown SC, I arrived late last night back in good ol’ Southern California. My good friend Josh and his wife Hannah were in town from Denver so I crashed at their folks place (I love you Roxie and Perry) and [...]
Camp Hammer
It’s always an amazing blessing for me to be able to spend some time up in the California redwoods with my dear friends at Camp Hammer. For those of you that didn’t experience summer camp as a kid, you missed out. Going up there (especially when there’s hundreds of screaming kids running around everything) makes [...]
El Palomar, Santa Cruz, CA
Wanted to throw a shout out to El Palomar. Went there with Charlie and Graham a couple of days ago. They have various different happy hour specials but Tuesdays are, of course, Taco Tuesdays. $2 for tacos, select drinks, and unlimited chips and salsa. And these were good tacos. The salsa, however, was GOOD. That’s [...]
Up the Coast
Well, after having spent a marvelous time with Charles on the East Coast, he was coincidentally visiting San Francisco at the same time I was. Charlie, his buddy Graham, and I spent yesterday and today cruising around parts of SF, and then heading down the beautiful coast to Camp Hammer. More on Camp Hammer later. [...]
Logos – Santa Cruz, CA
I’ve been all over the world. I’ve been to Powell’s in Portland, Strand in the Village – NYC, and gobs of quaint used bookstores all over Southeast Asia. Logos is still one of my top– possibly THE top– of list. It’s not massive, but I’ve always found what I was looking for. They have a [...]
Planet Fresh
Just wanted to throw a shout out to Planet Fresh in downtown Santa Cruz. Great Burritos. Healthy, hearty, delicious. 9/10 on the burrito scale. View Larger Map
The Fog over the Bay
After a wonderful and productive couple of days in the Marin Headlands, I hitched a ride with Darla and her daughter Sydney as far as the Golden Gate Bridge and then hiked across. It was wonderful because the sky was thick with fog and the air incredibly chilly so I put Bob Dylan on my [...]
Amoeba – Haight and Ashbury
If you haven’t been to Amoeba, and you have any interest whatsoever in music, you are missing out. You can find out more information about it here, but until then I think these pictures speak a thousand words: View Larger Map
HI Hostel – Marin Headlands.
This is a great hostel if you’re visiting San Francisco but you want to get outside of the city and get some peace and quiet. There are 3 other fantastic HI hostels in the city but they fill up quickly. The HI Hostel in Marin is on a secluded old plantation surrounded by acres and [...]
Morning Hike
K. I’m nearly done posting. Well, 2 more after this. I just got so behind! So much has happened in the last 24 hours. I’ve had a great time in SF. It’s been the most incredible spontaneous trip. After attending the GOOD Magazine event (the pictures of which I will post shortly when they’re done) [...]
Frisco Bay
Saturday, after running a lot of post-wedding/pre-trip-abroad errands, I jumped aboard a last minute bus to San Francisco. I grabbed a bus, a train, and a taxi to the greyhound station and then jumped on a midnight bus. I arrived yesterday (Sunday) morning at 7 AM. Chris, an Australian backpacking in the US after a [...]
Babylon… I LOVE these guys!
After an exhausting but great day shooting a wedding with Chad we headed back to long beach and I spent the night with the guys. Winn was over for the night was well because Lindye was out of town. We had breakfast the next morning together and it was fun to have everyone under the [...]
CWK
Johnny and the boys played a last minute show in Long Beach Friday evening. Of course it didn’t take long for the word to spread and it was definitely a packed out show. I guess they haven’t played a show in Long Beach in 3 years. Confirm or deny anybody? The prospector is the place [...]
Surfing
Here’s some shots of the guys (Darren and Chad specifically) surfing.
Newport Biking
Friday morning before I shot a wedding with Chad I took some photos of Taylor and his friend before they headed out on a long ride. Here’s the shots:
Tour de France
I know it may seem like a boring pass time to those of you who grew up on sports that were less endurance and more hand-eye coordination. But I, for one (but one of millions) have always lacked said hand-eye coordination and therefore never cared much for baseball, basketball, football etc… Endurance sports– the passion, [...]
Newport Landing
8.5/10 Went to a great place with Winn tonight. It’s “Newport Landing” in Newport Beach. There’s a more upscale restaurant there but the thing to know about is the restaurant and bar upstairs that has absolutely phenomenal happy hour specials. Its weird to see such a non-dive place have such great deals. Get this: $3 [...]
Good Morning Newport Beach
Just wanted to post a few pictures from my stay here in Newport Beach. I’ve had a blast with Darren, Trevor, and Taylor watching the Tour de France, going for a run, having a sandwich at Big Belly Deli, and just chatting. Thanks for letting me crash boys.
