The 12 of 12 is a photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This month I was at the beach on an overcast but beautiful day. (captains coming soon)

 - Morning rig.

 - This guard tower's made it into a few '12's in various form. Somethin' about 'em..

 - Existential seagull.

 - Color of sand. About as good a close-up as an iPhone can do.

 - Pigeon hydration. More great colors, especially the guy on the right. The 2 young Venice dudes nearby gave me a "whoooaaa, check out Spielberg" as I held up my cameraphone.

- Pretty sure the birds had something to do with this. Look close.

 - This month's self portrait.

 - Herbacide.

 - The victim's family.

 - Walked up the boardwalk for some sage & took this nice path out.

 - Glad to see this memorial, but sad.

 - Random placement of phone on desk with self-portrait lens on yielded this, so I snapped.

The 12 of 12 is a photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This month I hiked & did some other random stuff.

 - Low light morning view: faux fireplace headboard.

 - The daily view crossing Western.

 - Mr. Lizard at Runyon. Seeing lots of these little guys lately. Sometimes they do pushups.

 - Last year it seemed like every '12 was on an audition day, this year it seems to be on a hike day.

 - That guy. Most of these shots have a lot of guesswork, in that I barely stopped, had sweaty eyes and glare on iPhone. (setting up for big excuse on bonus pic)

 - I like these shots playing with levels/distance. This one came out better than the daisy(?) above.

 - Everything is in bloom with all the rain this year, really beautiful.

 - The view up the back stairs, which I believe you can see in a previous '12 of mine. And I know you can see it in the DVD extras of "The Graves" as I shot my audition tape cruising up these stairs, the hallway, etc.!

 - Driving to class...know the corner?

 - In the hallway, lots of HS memories came back my first time here. I like this shot.

 - There was a display of Diorama Art in the hall case, this was one of a few really cool ones. See, Keep The Arts In Schools! 

 

 - OK, here is the unfortunate finger shot that may have been my favorite- up the dead tree(cactus) with plastic bag of doom blowing in the fluffy clouds. I even sustained a decent leg-wound from the cactus spear.

The 12 of 12 is a photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This month I took 12 shots somewhat randomly throughout my day on the 12th but posted a little late.

 - Serene wood floor starts the day off right.

 - Self portrait #1, driving north.

 - Now moving East on Wilshire.

 - Parked, music on, Runkeeper™ started, comence hike.

 - Trying a little artsy fartsy depth looking west through grass.

 - More of the same through Dogwood(maybe?...no) blossoms. I like this one.

 - Blind shot trying to catch 'cloudhole' & trees, I think.

 - Wanted to get an interesting angle on this palm frond(it was very windy couple days) but had to snap too quickly as giant SUV pulled up fast wanting parking spot.

 - Sun comes out & makes interesting flare for self portrait #2 in front of awesome sunset window™.

 - Said sunset window. Trying for a different type of shot.

 

 - Questionable activities in Pasadena or lovely housewarming? Both?

 - Driving home, cash intact, blind snap of downtown.

12 of 12 January 2011

The 12 of 12 is a photo essay project started by a guy named Chad (click link) that I try to do every month. This month I took 12 shots somewhat randomly throughout my day.

 - Morning reading

 - New Editing desk! Now I just need to embrace my inner Swede and putit together.

 - Secret basement passage.

 - Escape path to the roof from said passage.

 - Spooky conduit.

 - Less spooky conduit.

 - Almost the shot I wanted in underground parking. (not so secret exit straight ahead)

 - Beautiful and swift (today) Highland.

 - When it's a 70 degree January in L.A., it's time to dirty the new running shoes somewhere.

 - How about at Runyon? Why not. Click for distant sparklin' ocean.

 - Of course, of course.

  - Hard to pick which shot to finish with. It was pretty packed up there today so this was a nice little solo section.
