Some Rain For L.A. ~~

We had rain today in Los Angeles. Hallelujah! Light showers during the day, and heavy showers in the evening, with some serious thunder, lightning, and some hail to boot! During the day, I went out to the garden and backyard between showers and shot these macros. Things were a bit messy with the wind blowing lots of stuff around, but the flowers seemed to have new life.

Tall Buildings of L.A. ~~

L.A. is not known for its skyscrapers. And nothing gives you a better sense of how flat the city is like flying over it. The view is pretty at night, when all the lights are on, but dull and disappointingly flat during the day. So you have to go to certain areas, such as Century City or Downtown L.A. to see a concentration of tall buildings. I’m only starting to photograph the buildings downtown and will certainly have better shots in the future. For now…

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.”
