Downtown L.A. Fashion District

I added a set of photo's I took a little while back, in downtown L.A. around the fashion district. My friend Samantha was there to buy some fabric and I thought it would be nice opportunity to poke around with my camera in a part of town I haven't explored. Snapped a number of mannequin shots, a subject that has always creeped me out, while at the same time fascinating me.

Memorial Weekend, Sunday Ride Photos

Went out for a more leisurely ride just between Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey, snapping some photos along the way. I also took some more photos around the Santa Monica pier, and I'll be posting those later under my Santa Monica set.

Finished Tour de Cure: 65 Miles

I finished the Tour de Cure, with a final fundraising total of $705 for the American Diabetes Association. It was an awesome 65 miles, with a lot of beautiful scenery between Longbeach and Newport. The uphill was pretty brutal, not as long as the Rosarito Ensenada climb, but just as steep. I got up to 40 mph this time though, as there was no head wind on the downhill, which was pretty darn fun. Now it's time to take it a little easy for a few days, though I'm still going to bike to work, and then I'm going to start getting ready for the 75 Mile LA River ride on June 10th.

Camera + Bicycle

Seeking to combine my creative side with my increasing interest in bicycling, I will start periodically setting out on my bike with my camera strapped to my rear rack and go out shooting. I got a nice bike bag with protective sidewalls and a pull out rain cover to keep very safe "My Precious!" (invoke tonal inflection of Gollum from LOTR). The first series of photo's are all from a night ride going from the Santa Monica pier to the Redondo pier, one of my favorite routes to travel.
