North Hollywood, NOHO, is ground zero for creatives. From aspiring actors to screenwriters to writers, almost every street corner is adorned with the fashion that comes with each respective industry (along with several heads bent over together in hushed tones). Ai (Art Institute) students blend into the fold easily as well, hauling various art projects… Read More NoHo
My new favorite place. I loved the views, the crisp air after the rain, the unexpected art, and, nerdling alert, all of the amazing rocks I found due to all the mini mudslides that resulted from the rain as well. ❤️ Runyon Canyon
Driving north on Fairfax is an education in architecture, art, culture, and old and new LA. The businesses are diverse, the people a mix of Hollywood-hipster-business. I found a cute coffee shop (“Coffee Coffee”) serving Sight Glass coffee (yum), pockets of street art, businesses with distinct personalities (“Pedro” and “Genghis Cohen”), funky stickers (“stay weird” – yes!),… Read More North Fairfax

A defining piece of San Francisco’s physical and cultural topography, there’s so much more to see than what I captured on my visit over this past weekend. Cupid’s Span is now, perhaps, my favorite art installation anywhere. The clash between upper echelon… Read More San Francisco, The Embarcadero
There isn’t much that excites me as much as the holidays. This year, I started mine with old friends in San Francisco and Oakland. The Union Square Macy’s Tree Lighting, general madness of holiday shoppers, signature Starbucks off Union trip, and Embarcadero ice skating rink are all captured in my wild picture taking spree across… Read More San Francisco, Holidays 2015
