The 12 of 12 is a fun photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This month I took 12 pictures from my seat at brunch with some friends in Venice, can you tell where I am?

Textured mural on the wall to my right.


Hotel to my left.

Our lovely waitress, palms and the Pacific.

No, not that, I only buy sage now. And the edge of 1st mural.

1 shot semi-self portrait with entire table caught in my eye!

Agua fria on steel table, I like it.

Succulent of some type a friend was carrying and it's shadow.

Same turned steel table minus the H2O. Reminds me of the trim on my old '63 Impala SS convertible...I miss that car.

Same friend behind sun umbrella with top of mural (D'oh!).

Close up of dude living in mural. Space? God? Spacegod?

Close up on reflective circle on mural 2 just behind me, same wall.


OK, technically this is 12 or 15 feet away from my table but I could not resist on my way out. Yup, that's a capital "T".

The 12 of 12 is a fun photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This month I finally got to do one I've been thinking about: 12 pics in under 12 minutes, on the 12th(of course) on my roof.

-A view looking east (downtown LA) from the east edge of the roof.


-Looking south through the gazebo - that's right, we have a gazebo on out roof.- With added bonus partial self portrait.

-A view through the fire hose pipes to the Wilshire business district area, kinda northeast. I love how these pipes look, will have to get a larger pic someday.

-One of the semi-rotting grills parked in tandem in the once well-used bar-b-q area.

-Down the vent pipe.

-Antenna sky.

-Another style vent pipe with another style partial self portrait.

-Western sunset view from mid roof. It really is quite nice up here.

-Straight north from same mid roof spot.

-Emergency teams down on the street.

-Still life- flaking wrought iron door, with broken chair and gas vent still contraption.

-Looking down into the odd courtyard for 2, parking lot, little garages, and the bottom of the new condo that you saw going up over the past couple years' 12's.

The 12 of 12 is a fun photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This one has a few pics from the previous week since its been rough for me to get a good daytime pic(good light for iPhone cam) between working & raining in LA.

Lovely sun about to peek out moment,

Puppy in the window makes you smile.

My friend Matt's band "The Middle Class" laying it down.


Darryl's baby digs the Steelers, he is a good parent indeed.

Who's that producer in the Transformers sheets?


Another moment of the sun peeking, this time with more trees.


Thats right.

Digital converter plus this $9.99 antenna and and it's crisp clear programing. Amazing.


Everybody needs groceries.

The 12 of 12 is a fun photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This month I thought it would be fitting to take all my shots at SAG over about 1 10 minute period. Our guild faces some troubling times right now, say a little prayer for us!


- The top of the fountain out front.

-And the bottom.

-Looking up the eastern front wall...see the logo?

-Foyer Art. Lots of squares.

-Some doofus in an elevator.

-Viking tusk lamp art in lobby, just above the squares. I like the reflection of the (83 degree : ) outside on the right 1/4 of the ceiling.

-75 year logo outside admin.

-Cool original charter type thing in lobby display case.

-Katheryn 1/2 of giant mural in same lobby.

-Meet your officers! You might know some of these Guild pioneers.

-The man behind the curtain action figure! Actually my little tour of the beginnings of SAG here really reemphasized what were fighting for. 'Ol Frank here was a big part of it.

-Gotta have sunny palm trees, just opposite the previous admin area, in the lot.

-Bonus pic! Earlier this week at a cast & crew 1st screening of "The Graves". Look for it soon & keep updated at the new site .
