The Bridge and the Battery

Before my friends and I departed San Francisco for a trip down the coast, we decided it was time to visit the symbol of the city. What followed was a tumult of emotions and situations. A rapid shift of perspective and feeling that, like the bridge itself, was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before.

A Miller-Boyett Production

“…but who among us never quoted a song in their AIM ‘away message’ or on the profile pages of late MySpace and early Facebook?”

In this case, I used the theme from Full House.

Of Mermaids And Micheladas

“It certainly wasn’t the worst drink I’d ever had, but I haven’t really wanted to eat Spaghettios since I was a kid, let alone taste them in my beer.”

California City

Dotted by roads to nowhere, aircraft graveyards, and a dried up waterfall—California City was once envisioned to rival Los Angeles. As schemes continued well into the 21st Century, was it all too good to be true? A podcast inspired me to go have a look.

The Theme Building/Plane Watching at LAX

As 2020 ended and 2021 began, I was in California. That’s a longer story for another day, though. In the mean time, for the next few posts over the next few weeks, some photographs made around Los Angeles with a quick detour into the desert.
