guest photographer #2



i'm excited to show you some photography from the second special guest photographer, mr. timmy morgan.  the guy can do comedy, acting, voice over work, and apparently can take great photos too!  tim shot this image on sunday morning after a night of very cold temperatures, and precipitation.

big sky




i love this big old pasadena sky.  i hope you enjoy.  more skywatch friday right here.




on a more serious note, please consider raising your voice to condone actions about to take place in the area known as the arcadia oak woodland.  100-year old oaks are scheduled to be demolished starting tomorrow for the creation of a dirt storage pile by the county of LA.


more details can be found right here.

rose parade aftermath haze



as pasadena's biggest celebration of the year comes to a close, the streets are filled with trash, and the clean up is about to begin.  i'll post a few photos of the parade over the next few days, but in the meantime, you can check out a few perspectives from some local bloggers (i'll post more as they arrive).

obligatory seasonal green street image



the title of this one pretty much says it all!  i love the way the lights look on the trees along green street.  during this time of year it almost makes me want to go out of my way to get on this quaint one way passage through pasadena.  and this is not the first time to have an image like this on the blog.

pasadena police - the chase is on!


while walking with the baby a few weeks ago, i was passed by a fleet of police vehicles.  there must have been about ten of them, all driving with the pedal to the floor.  these were the only two i caught by the time i pulled out my camera.  the composition of the photo isn't the greatest, but i like the movement that came out in this shot.

the corner of los robles and orange grove


this mixed use complex has always caught my eye. probably due to the fact that it doesn't really feel like it fits in with the rest of this particular street corner. it is home to several small businesses that continue to open, exist for a few months, and then close.

welcome to vancouver 2010


i sure was proud of my home country last night while the opening ceremonies of the 2010 winter olympic games were being broadcast. this photo is from our trip to vancouver this past fall.

i'm really looking forward to see what this canadian team can do, and along with most of canada - hoping that team canada can win hockey gold! on the downside - i feel like my quick browsing of nbc's coverage on the west coast shows that i'm not going to get to watch much of the canadian teams performing in their best sports - hockey and curling.

how did this happen?


i don't really remember taking this photo. must have been an accident. but i sure do like how this little accident turned out!


by the way - "art smog" is a new area photo blog that was recently created by a friend of mine. check it out.

facelift complete


pasadena's courthouse has been undergoing an exterior change lately - but if you are a faithful reader of this blog, or live in pasadena you knew that already. here is the finished product. it certainly seems like an improvement to me, but i'm still not terribly impressed by this building.

thoughts?

we're watching you.


you shouldn't run a red light in your car, right? pasadena is trying to make sure that doesn't happen by installing cameras at most major intersections in town which will take photos of any red light violations.

i'm getting back home today after what seems like an extensive time on the road. it will be nice to settle back in to life in pasadena.
