August 16 2010
It’s hard to have NorCal love coming from SoCal living. But the city’s colorful secrets make me wonder if there’s a possibility of living here in the near future.

August 10 2010 Arts District Los Angeles, formerly known as the Warehouse District, reminds me of an underdeveloped DUMBO. Unused rail lines lead to fences. Buildings are covered in well-known stencil art. The sidewalks are mangled by the remnants of construction work either left unfinished or postponed. There’s even a nice view of Downtown from the [...] July 22 2010 By normal standards of street beauty, Juan de la Barrera would be considered extraordinary. Arching branches cover the sidewalks overhead with intense green foliage. The houses are weathered with character. Its birds can be heard chirping because silence isn’t unordinary. It feels like a neighborhood in a giant city. Five minutes into my [...] July 15 2010 Conejoblanco was empty. I had the entire store to photograph without anyone interrupting me. The hardwood cracked, my shutter echoed, but no one came up. I went from room to room until I got to the bathroom. There were books everywhere. In the sink. In the tub. On the toilet. I reached over [...] July 9 2010 It sits there day and night, always in the same place as the day before. The rains come and give it a rinse, and then it’s left alone. July 1 2010 We arrived five minutes late. After security questioned each other about letting us in, an older man gave the approving nod and we were ushered down a spiral staircase into a pitch black theater. I could see a women dressed as a panda, another man in Geisha garb and another man – short, [...] June 27 2010 The finish line is Mexico City and I’m three days away. June 18 2010 An optical illusion to fuel my daydreams of Mexico. June 9 2010 Santa Fe, NM is celebrating its 400th anniversary. The city is the oldest capital in the United States. I spent the day strolling through the quiet and hot streets of the city’s center the other day. When night fell, an eerie storytelling show came alive in Santa Fe’s plaza. Above, people listen to [...] May 29 2010 Unlike the abundance of murals I found in the sleepy town of Fresno, Ca, Albuquerque’s murals and public paintings are few. The Barelas area of Fresno – a place mentioned to me as “the neighborhood where most ‘Cops’ episodes are shot in Albuquerque – showcases some wonderful Aztlan-esque paintings I’ve yet to photograph. [...] May 26 2010 It’s like he wants me to feel comfortable wherever I am by simply showing his face around town. May 22 2010 I never expected to find her on the side of the road, but there she was. May 17 2010 Advice for New Mexico: eat as much chile as you can. This is where I started. May 14 2010 You look good as a Shepard. May 12 2010 I’m not allergic to stencil-cats. May 9 2010 Focus! May 7 2010 Seen walking through the Meat Packing District after a Highline stroll. May 4 2010 My old neighborhood. Every ice cream truck should have rims. Shepard Fairey’s newest political installation took over the corner of Houston and Bowery this weekend and NYMAG interviewed the artist during the raising of the piece. The space is a wall formerly occupied by Os Gemeos and made famous by Keith Haring. The Os Gemeos painting is preserved, but who knows how long Shepard’s collage [...] April 19 2010 Seat 12A. Aisle. Mexico City slowly showed itself when the haze began to subside. Anna told me to gchat immediately after landing and I obliged. I expected to find her staring down at me from the 3rd floor of our apartment building while I exited an Excelente cab. Instead, she was at the [...] |
