What Does It Say?
Just something you would drive by and ignore. Trash, graffiti on an abandoned billboard, and in the distance a high rise casino resort. As a scene what does it say? From a photo excursion.
Grafitti At Rock-A-Hoola

Sci Fi Girl
I really like this girl! I am thinking photo shoot! Yesterday downtown Los Angeles near the L.A. Mart for Photo LA. Today you will find me at the FitExpo at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
A Peanuts Route 66
Weekends and nice weather. Makes me think of A Route 66 photo excursion. A trip a month ago and a Route 66 wall mural in Needles California. Sure makes a drab beige wall in the middle of town a lot more fun!
Be A Part Of My Art…
I am going to go out on a limb here and say I Love Art too! I am going to be making more of my art and making some plans. It could involve some of you in front of my cameras. If you might be interested, please subscribe to my Blog here. There will be details you might not be seeing anywhere else.
By the way, this was photographed on a photo excursion I did on Route 66 in California between Amboy and Needles.
They Come From All Over To Travel Route 66
They come from all over to travel Route 66! We did yesterday, 409 miles and 14 hours round trip. This mural was on the side of a gas station in Needles, California. Great fun!
An Other Worldly Glow In Chalk
An other worldly glow in the Chalk Art by Cecelia Ramos Linayao At The Palm Springs Chalk Festival. She has been a featured artist at museums, festivals and exhibitions from Florida to Hawaii to China and Mexico and much more. What a treat to be able to photograph her and other artists live works right here in Palm Springs.
Twiggy In Chalk
Moe Notsu in Palm Springs for the Chalk Art Festival . Originally from Shimane Japan And now Cal State University Long Beach, she has won a number of Chalk Art events since 2011.
She Makes It Easy!
I have to apologize. You see Maria Bertrand makes it so easy for me to be a photographer. Just find a fun wall, ask her to stand there and it’s magic!
A Sign Of Appreciation…
This was an exhibit that gave me a new appreciation for the art of the streets, whether signs or graffiti. I am sorry I did not have the chance to see and photograph it more than once. The “Art In The Streets” exhibit at The Geffen Contemporary at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. “Installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists and will emphasize Los Angeles’s role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to seminal local movements such as cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture.”
Teamwork!

“Art In The Streets”
I truly enjoyed shooting photographs at this show some time ago. The “Art In The Streets” exhibit at The Geffen Contemporary at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. “Installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists and will emphasize Los Angeles’s role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to seminal local movements such as cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture.”
