1966. The year Killer Dana died.
Seeing this sign at Dana Point Harbor reminded me of the extinction of a #surfing era known as Killer Dana. It happened in 1966 when the first boulder of the breakwater was dropped. It was completed in 1971. #surf #surfer #waves #beach #ocean #surflife #surfphotography #surfinglife #surfers #surfboard #travel #wave #surftrip #sea #photography #sup #surfergirl… Continue reading 1966.

Practicing for King of the Hammers 2020
Getting a little - I mean really little - practice with the Canon EOS R before King of the Hammers 2020. These little remote control race cars have a top speed of over 50 mph, making them harder to photograph than an F-35 Lighting fighter jet going 400 mph, an F1 racecar, or a flock… Continue reading Practicing for King of the Hammers 2020

I don't drink very often, but when I do... Tom Bergen is the iconic Los Angeles Irish Pub on Fairfax since 1936.
Best of 2019 – A day at the beach.
It's October and another warm and sunny summer-like day in Southern California, where larger-than-normal crowds are expected at the beach. Photographed on October 5, 2019 from the Huntington Beach Pier looking south towards Newport Beach.
Roy’s Motel Cafe – Best of 2019
Roy's Motel & Cafe in Amboy, CA opened as a gas station in 1938 along Route 66 and thrived until Interstate 40 opened and diverted traffic off the historic route in 1972 I made this shot a few months before the iconic monument sign was restored and re-lit last month.
What happens here only happens here. #LasVegas
Las Vegas announced a new advertising slogan, “What happens here only happens here.” It reminded me of my last visit to the gritty downtown Las Vegas in 2017, when I made this photograph. It's hard to imagine finding this scene anywhere else on the planet. The new ad slogan works.
Post-Apocalyptic, Wilshire Boulevard.
Are we seeing a metaphor for streaming TV, where only the blind are watching? Billboard for AppleTV+ on Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles.
Ahmanson Building. LACMA
Designed by architect William Pereira (1909-1985) and built by Del E. Webb in 1965, the four-story Ahmanson Building at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is an iconic example of Los Angeles' 1960s modernist architecture. One of three original buildings (it was originally called The Lytton Gallery until 1968) at LACMA, it is… Continue reading Ahmanson Building. LACMA
