CEE’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: 2016 Week 1

This original vehicle is a fixture on the Board Walk in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. I haven’t figured out who owns it and what’s the deal with it, but I had to shoot a couple of pictures. I think they are good candidates for Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Oops!

This week, Ben Huberman, from the Daily Post, asks us to share a photographic “Oops!” moment. Well, I have not one, but a series of shameful, cringe-worthy, crazy “Oops moments.” I call them “My Bloopers” and keep them archived to remind me to never make the same mistakes again. Enjoy! 🙂

Santa Monica

At the intersection of Wilshire and Ocean boulevards in Palisades park, a statue of Santa Monica stands on a heart-shaped patch of grass. The 18-ft. high Art Deco Sculpture was sculpted in 1934 by Eugene Morahan as a Public Works of Art project and presented to the citizens of Santa Monica by the Federal Government. The statue faces Wilshire Blvd. as if welcoming visitors to the park.
