Winter is here.
On a recent weekend getaway to Solvang, CA, I was lucky enough to wake up to a lovely morning of fog. A brisk walk to the danish shop for breakfast with my camera and voila, foggy awesomeness.

Santa Monica Sunrise
If you can wake up early enough, the sunrise out here in LA can be just as beautiful as our famous sunsets. On a brisk Sunday morning recently I set out to see what the Santa Monica pier had to offer at 5:30am when the moon gave way to the sun.
A few joggers, fishermen and seagulls were the only ones out to welcome the day.
Simple things become much more photogenic during the solitary morning hours. Having a trusty tripod is the only way to really allow for all the colors and light happening.
Couldn't resist a bokeh gif either! How's that for a double whammy :) It makes me happy- and it's a pretty good representation of my hour on the pier.

Dia De Los Muertos 2013
November 2, 2013 was this year's Dia De Los Muertos celebration at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It is one of those must see/do events if you are in LA during the weekend after Halloween. Day of the Dead is indeed a celebration, traditional dancers and food and music are enjoyed in honor of the dearly departed. Where else but in a cemetery right?
The following are just a small introduction to what there is to see and enjoy on this most enjoyable day.
Gorgeous costumes and elaborately made up faces make it impossible to not get a winning shot almost every time. This event is a photographer's playground!

Early morning, big city
To mark my next visit to NY this week, here are some photos from my last trip in the summer. Getting a head start on the hustle and bustle of downtown NYC is a wonderful way to see the beauty in a solitary way. You feel like the last person on earth and it's awesome!
Walking along the highline though, I came across this little girl hangin out in her front window. These apartments are so oddly futuristic- very weird. The view is directly facing the hordes of people walking the path!
See you soon...

None of this is real- or is it?
If you blinked, you might have missed it. A couple of months ago in the cover of night, Teacher & Chod built a statement out of wood, paper and paint. It lasted for a couple of days and that's all it needed really. The little monument was set up on Melrose and appreciated by many a passerby. The walls are lined with bible pages and emblazoned with a huge "None of this is real" on all sides. Outspoken? Yes. Well crafted? Hell Yes! Thanks guys for adding an awesome conversation starter to the scene.
