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.

One pedestrian at a time.

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 [...]

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

August 8 2010

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.

August 6 2010

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 [...]

August 5 2010

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

August 4 2010

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 [...]

This is Southern California.

Defari will tell you all about it.

August 1 2010

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 [...]

July 31 2010

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!”

American falafel. Hot.

I would have preferred a cholo, but palm trees will do.

June 5 2010

The green slopes in the background were once a giant slip and slide for Brenda and I when we were kids. It wasn’t too long ago that we were filling up giant water balloons and flooding her kitchen. My cousin, in her wedding dress, is only two weeks younger than me. Our fathers [...]

We’re growing up too damn fast. Above, my tio Cesar with my cousin Brenda at her wedding rehearsal.

June 3 2010

Yesterday was a refreshing alternative to the “where are we living/getting married/getting jobs” state of life Anna and I are in at the moment. With wedding bells in the air, Anna and I spent a morning at the Shade Hotel with “photographer for the modern type”, Ala Cortez, talking about our hacienda ideas, [...]

Sometimes you need to take a chance on an album with a cover like this.
