We’re approaching an era of stability in our lives. There is one roof and only one city. We’re taking the same trips and creating memories together. I found my tripod last week in a garage housing decades-worth of belongings I’ve left behind and mostly forgotten. This was the first time I’d used it [...]

Rochelle (far right) is back home in the Bay after living in South Africa for six months, and then briefly hanging in Los Angeles. Revaz and Laura (middle) are both in the Bay on their way to Portland. Laura will then leave to Kenya for a year where she’ll be based with human [...]

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.

My nephew is around 10-years-old. The shirt is closer to 30-years-old. Homeboy is bringing it back.

There are a few things you must do in this family before a certain age. You must learn to cheer for a certain sports team. You must visit Las Vegas, NV before your first birthday. And you’re obligated to learn how to play the family’s game: poker. Jacob, age 4, just got started [...]

I started my day off here and didn’t do much else.

It was her first time. She enjoyed the gardens, the architecture and the West pavilion’s photography exhibit. I dug the harsh sun and the people doing their very LA things.

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 [...]

He’s recently lured me to the bright lights of a bowling alley. Champions are made on Monday nights.

I’m not inspired by fruit, flowers or vegetables. In fact, I get really frustrated at farmers markets because I can’t try most of the produce. I’m allergic to birch pollen, so nectarines, pears, peaches, apples, and kiwi – items always left out in volumes for sampling – are never for me. I’m left [...]

He just likes to make sure we’re alright.

I don’t know much about Culver City, Ca. My time in the area revolved around the Samy’s Camera just west of this shot. I hear galleries have opened (and closed) over the last few years, the rents are alright and there’s a “scene.” I’ve only ever visited the city three times and I’m [...]

The interior needs lots of work, but you couldn’t tell from the polished exterior. The Chevrolet DeLuxe is Pancho‘s new ride.

Notorious for being the old stomping grounds of Charles Bukowski (a rumor no one I know has ever been able to verify) the Smog Cutter sits between gangland Los Angeles and the Western fringe of Los Feliz/Silverlake. The bar is small in square footage but large in personality. If you’re not ready for [...]

Defari will tell you all about it.

There was a lot of fantasy involved before our move. What would our place look like? What adventures would be waiting? What memories would be photographed and preserved? I remember thinking it wasn’t a good idea to dream. I’ve had a turbulent relationship with Los Angeles over the years and my absence hadn’t [...]

Manny: “I decided to start my own band.”
Me: “Yeah?”
Manny: “Yeah. Can you guess the name?”
Me: “My Own Band?”
Manny: “No.”
Me: “…”
Manny: “What’s my name?”
Me: “Emmanuel Sevilla.”
Manny: “Bingo!”
