Soakin' in the Santa Monica sunshine - Pt.2

Soakin' in the Santa Monica sunshine - Pt.1

I think of myself as a tourist in my own city. In my endless tour of Califonia, I've come to love the westside of L.A. a lot! West Los Angeles is made up of several beautiful cities, including Santa Monica, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Westwood, Brentwood, and the Pacific Palisades. Santa Monica has grow to be one of my favorites, after years of working in the city. My friend Erika asked me to meet her out on the westside, one December day last year, so we could go shoot. After picking her up in Brentwood, we headed down to Santa Monica beach to shoot. Our first stop was the Promenade on 3rd St. for a snack and bathroom break. There are a lot of great places to eat and shop, just a few blocks from the beach and pier, at the Santa Monica Mall and 3rd St Promenade. We wandered around the Promenade for a bit before making our way over to the beach to shoot. From the beach, we hit the pier. After which we had to call it a day since Erika had a softball game to get to. We had a blast though, hangin' out and shootin' along the coast that day, before I had to drop her off back at her car. Below are some of my favorite shots from the day for you to check out. Thanks for checkin' out my blog, and check back soon for more of my endless tour of Cali and beyond!

A night in L.A. through the eye of an android

Lurking

Thanks for checkin' out the Bsombin' blog!

Lurking.

...One night I went looking for the things that go bump in the night. After searching high and low, I found nothing, not a creature in sight. I searched and I searched, midnight came and went. I searched till I was cold, exhausted, and spent. But, I couldn't stop searching, to find where they lurk. I couldn't go home, until I was done with my work. I had to keep lurking, to find the things that go bump. So, off a bridge and on to building, I had to jump. I decided to go where I knew they would be, a place high above the dark grimy city. I climbed to a place where I hoped I would see these things that go bump nocturnally. With a view of the whole city, still I saw nothing "bumpy".  And then and there, In the dark, I came to see that thing I was looking for all night long was me! ...How did I become one of the things that go bump in the night, when all I wanted to do was bring truth to light?!

Where'd the trains go?

Thanks for checkin' out the blog! I wanted to get some train images. So, the other day, I went to go check a freight yard to see if there were any freights parked there. I didn't have any luck finding freights, so I just got some captures from the bridge that crosses the tracks. I'll keep my eye on the yard and get some images, to share, as soon as I spot some trains. ...check back soon for more Bsombin'!
