Caught By The Sea ~~
“I spent uncounted hours sitting at the bow looking at the water and the sky, studying each wave, different from the last, seeing how it caught the light, the air, the wind; watching patterns, the sweep of it all, and letting it take me. The sea.” ― from Gary Paulsen”s “Caught by the Sea”

Honoring Chris Burden (4/11/1946 – 5/10/2015) ~~
If you’ve ever visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), you’ve seen “Urban Light,” Chris Burden’s installation in the form of a classical Greek temple composed of 202 antique cast-iron street lamps. This permanent installation has been at LACMA since 2008 and is now one of the symbols of Los Angeles. I fell in love with “Urban Light” the first time I set eyes on it. No matter which angle you look at it you’ll discover something new and beautiful, not only in the lamps themselves but in the way they are displayed. So, so pretty…
Today we woke up to news that Chris Burden had died. He was only 69 and would’ve had so much more to give to the art world had he not lost his battle with cancer. I am honoring him with some of the photos I’ve taken of his wonderful “Urban Light.”
Afternoon Stroll
Sometimes, that which seems abandoned or alone is neither, but for that fleeting moment caught by the camera…
For this week’s photo challenge, Forces of Nature, I’m sharing photos of my last snow storm in the Washington D.C. area before moving to Los Angeles. The snow was a force to be reckoned with! Left us without power for several days; roads were a mess; the Federal Government closed for a week, as did everything else. We had to go to a hotel for a few days to be safe. All this because the D.C. metro area is totally unprepared to handle snow. Just as Los Angeles can’t handle rain!! 🙂
Loss…
Instigator ~~
This little rascal kept provoking Kaya, the dog, to the point of almost driving her mad. I didn’t help by quietly shooting from a distance so as not to disturb the scene…

“Someone’s taking pictures! Behave well!”
“Sure…”
“Go away!”
