A Wednesday evening at home.

Car lots.

Been into photographing empty, seemingly abandoned car lots lately – noticing more and more of them over the past three years. I’ve long been drawn to shooting abandoned things (I’m fascinated with those ‘nature takes back’ Chernobyl images), but in particular, the sort of embedded social commentary in these makes them interesting, watching as cities struggle with how to use these very specific spaces and move them from being urban blight. They kind always were urban blight, I guess, in some ways.

Veered off from my usual routes home and got a few off the cuff shots today.

Monday.

Cereal for dinner. Also known as ‘somehow otherwise did not take a photo today.’

But at least made it to the grocery store.

Bike light art at The Last Bookstore.

Saturday. Bike rides, lunch with friends, walks.

I’m quite into taking cell phone camera photos lately; I have a massive collective of cool film cameras, and nice digital ones, but there is something about the simplicity of this way of approaching a ‘photo a day’ that I rather like…

Berlin in Long Beach.

At Fingerprints.

Friday. Gardening, friends in town, Bodhi got his first haircut…

Not happy. But when he finally broke free he blew off his mom – who was in on this cruelty – and went straight to me, waiting at the door, ready to get out of there…

Before.

After.

Holly and Ryan.

Garden help.

Not pictured: a lovely dinner with Pam in Fullerton…

Thursday. My students at Camp Scudder wrote ‘love haikus to food’.

Wow.

Check out more of the cinematographer’s work here.

Also, that Phantom HD Gold camera? Bad ass. I’ll put it on my Amazon wish list for when I’ve got $110,000 to drop!
