A shot from the plane
My cousin David and wife Simone
I had a very nice relaxing trip back home visiting with parents and nieces and such. I am glad I do not live in the midwest though. Wow, seriously closed minded when it comes to my hair. However I enjoyed visiting with the fam. I stayed with my sister in her large house. I had my own bedroom and bathroom. Here are some photos.

Spent the start of the week doing a project for my class. I took pictures of a room studio apartment that a friend lives in. I got some really nice shots. Yesterday we had a house full of stars. Colin O’Neil, Mario Cruz, Cort Donovan, Trevor Knight, just to name a few. And of course Chi Chi LaRue was spinning the tunes. It was a good crowd and her music is always really good. It will be a nice break to go home for thanksgiving next week.

Marc was a nice guest and as an added attraction, Scott got the go go boy named David to come up on stage. Shame that he was straight :) I guess they like having all the attention as a woman would not give them. Oh, I went with friend to see FUR which is indie film about Diane Arbus. It was very good. The one character was fictional, but overall the film was quite interesting in how it portrayed how Diane might have felt and acted. I think most artists are a little nutty but she had difficulty being a 50s housewife and wanting to be a creative photographer. I have always found her work to be fascinating. I went a few years ago to the museum and saw the exhibit which included a lot of history and even some of her cameras.

I have not done real work for a few days as I have been doing administrative tasks like paying bills, running to the post office, grocery shopping, and all the things in life that are not photo related. Sometimes certain tasks can take an entire day because I rely on public transit in los angeles. It is not that it fails to deliver me on time, but that it often takes a long time since the area is so spread out. The only time I have issues is late at night. But I live in a common area that is easily accessible. Even if I could afford a car again, I believe in saving our planet from global warming by using mass transit that runs on natural gas. If a few people reading this felt the same, perhaps we could save the planet from roasting like a cinder

You guessed it, me
Well I took a fun trip on the yellow line to Pasadena for a change of pace. I took my small camera and felt motivated to take a few photos along the way.
