On July 3, i finally made the time to visit The Getty Museum in LA. What an amazing place! Architecturally, it is simply amazing! The art that is displayed is also a one of a kind and breathtaking! For some odd reason, i never wanted to visit the Getty, until now.. i really dont know what took me soo long..

Did i mention the architecture, is amazing!












Another amazing aspect of The Getty, are the gardens! The amount of time and care that goes into these gardens truly show in their beauty.










I look forward to visiting the Getty Museum again! Hopefully, it will be sooner than later.

The rest of the pictures can be seen here.

January has already been a very hectic month.. not necessarily with my photography, but with my busy, rather, extremely busy schedule at my other work and other pressing things going on with my life.

Today a couple of friends (Gabriel and Randy) and I went out to Silver Lake, CA (near Hollywood), to do some photowalking. Photography or photowalking always helps he relax and helps me get my mind off things so i was looking forward to shooting and letting my mind be free..

Here are some of the sights that i encountered on our walk. This was my first time to Silver Lake so i really didnt know what to expect, but it's a nice community and people sure do make use of the running path around the city and lake.








I liked how the blue sky peeked through the cross near the top of the door.




I was initially composing this picture to focus on the shadow placement of the 2305 sign, then noticed the dog (just above the 0) surveying us and making sure to keep his/her territory safe.






the great thing about photowalking is it gives me an opportunity see and visit different locations.

Thank you for visiting!

Two weeks ago (on Sept. 7th) i volunteered at the Classic Car Show in Corona Del Mar. Once my duties were completed i decided to bring out the camera and start taking pictures of these beautifully maintained classic cars. This is a annual event so i always enjoy taking pictures of these works of automobile art. I focused mainly on detail shots since there were too many attendees which made it difficult to get a full picture of a car without having someones body tainting the frame of the picture.

Here are some of my favorites throughout the day.






The Packard 12..


77 Chrysler..






You can see the rest of the set on Flickr!

Thank you for visiting!!

Our monthly photowalk with a good group of friends had us visiting Balboa Beach (in SoCal). It was a beautiful afternoon and we headed out after work. It was perfect since the tourist and local foot traffic was scarse which gave us alot of time to shoot.

I got a little lucky with this shot since I was able to catch a plane in flight heading directly over some palm trees.


Here's a couple of macro shots i took as we wandered around our photowalk.






and here's a gross spider....
