Field Trip...

Well that's what Karen called it. Every year we take off from work to do our taxes and fortunatley this time we got done early.
First mission was Food, we drove around for a bit and ended up at the historic Philippe's http://www.philippes.com/They've been doing French Dips since 1908.

So we head to Olivera St. for a bit. I lived in LA almost all my life and this is my first time going. Lots of street vendors selling everything from belts, wresting nacho libre masks, toys and food (too bad I was still full)
J town Lil Tokyo was the next spot(Check out the parking meter that takes plastic) I frequent this area due to the RIF a dope consigment store in LA http://www.rif.la/. Check them out if you're ever in the area. Finally we head to the Fashion District. Now this place is a world of it's own! I wish I was able to take more shots...I had one crazy lady already trippin coz she thought I took a picture of her.

Till next time

Don't Count the Dayz, Make the Dayz Count...

I was in Bay Area this past weekend and I have always had an attraction to this place. When I was younger I've wanted to move there but never had a chance to...the question "what if?" will always be in the back of my mind.

Hung out with my boy Patrick and his lovely wife Michell (check his flickr: a dope photographer, this dude is sick http://www.flickr.com/photos/quickster/ ) The photos of Karen and I were taken by him.

Nice to see you again Pops!

Malibu

I wake up yesterday doing my normal routine (breakfast, coffee and surf the internet). I look outside and I see the that it's somewhat clear considering that SoCal is expecting heavy rains for the next five or six days, I guess it's the calm before the storm. While on the net I googled sunsets in LA and came up with some amazing photographs that basically inspired me to take a drive down to the beach. I don't know why I've don't do this more often, a 20 minute drive is not bad at all. So here's a few shots that I took of the scenery. Enjoy
