Seen on the Street - DTLA Representing

A mural I saw on my way to Mustache Mondays - a fierce scene on Monday nights at La Cita / DTLA hosted by Nacho Nava....

Seen on the Street - Animine

These three images were shot over the past few months as I was reacquainting myself with the City of Angels.

They were all taken at different times and in vastly different sections of L.A., which just goes to show you how this city is so diverse and spread out.

I decided to group them together for this posting because I felt they belonged together.

OK Kids - Pop Quiz time -What's the recurring theme that ties all these images together???

Seen on the Street - Graffiti Effexx

Because I have "A.D.H.D.", meaning I'm always bugging out and have the attention span of a gnat, I love to look at everything when I'm out on the street. Doesn't matter if I'm walking or riding in a car, I love to visually devour everything around me. Here are a few pieces of Graffiti art I noticed within a 2 block radius of my work in Hollywood, near Selma and Cahuenga. Pretty cool - if anyone knows the artists to credit for these pieces, please leave a comment or contact me.

Weho Pride 2011 - Can We Take Your Picture??

Weho Pride 2011 - Here are some portrait shots of people that caught our eye.

I approached each subject with the same GWC stereotypical line - "Excuse me, can we take your picture?"

All were kind enough to oblige our request, and my boy Billy was nice enough to be the co-subject as I snapped the pics.

Weho Pride 2011 - Chaotic

West Hollywood Gay Pride 2011 - Smaller than previous years, this last Pride festival was interesting. The majority of the people were Latinos and young - in their late teens or 20's. Maybe it's just a manifestation in the LGBTG demographic of what's happening with the nation's overall demographic - Latino's will dominate very soon - BRONZING of America.

I did manage to capture, or at least try, interesting people as they walked by. Using my BBerry camera was a bit dodgy, but I quite like the blurry motion images . The bleeding of the image lines, colors, light and dark is a perfect representation of the chaotic atmosphere of pride....
