Los Angeles people

I went to Los Angeles last weekend for my aunt's funeral -- and, despite the obvious unfortunate circumstance for being there -- I did manage to shoot a few color film pictures that I liked. Here are three people shots. the first two shots from LAX airport -- "Tiber and Cathriona" saying goodbye -- Cat was headed back to her home in Ireland,


next a guy with that "LA look" (I guess?!) at the baggage carousel at Terminal 3,


and last, stopping at some sort of retro diner on Santa Monica Blvd. -- a couple of waitresses posed for me in front of the juke box.

Recent digital images

I've been busy teaching, so I haven't had as much time to shoot as I would like, but here are a couple of recent digital images from around my neighborhood. This first was shot in front of a convenience store on Lombard -- an old DeSoto sedan.

As I've been shooting color, I've been inspired by the work of Saul Leiter, and, of course, William Eggleston.


and this shot yesterday afternoon, a St. Johns storefront.

I had to get out the house for a minute today just to try to shoot, the weather was so beautiful. shot this at the bus stop a couple of blocks from my house, on Lombard, in front of the McDonald's.
