The Ol' Ball & Chain....

 

Scottish Fair at OC Fairgrounds this Sunday........kilt overload!

5.31.10 Fallen David

This broken replica of the statue of David lies on Cal State Fullerton's campus. It's said that it once stood tall in a cemetery in Whittier-- the story goes that a professor brought in the broken pieces after the 1987 earthquake rocked it apart. Interesting that the "perfect man" doesn't stand a chance against might mother nature...

5.30.10 Wire shadows

The shadow of barbed wire.
Santa Ana, CA.

Taken with an Olympus XA 35mm film camera on redscale film.

5.29.2010 Old Town Orange

I think what still fascinates me about Old Town Orange, is that you can still find buildings that were there nearly 100 years ago. The rest of OC seems to tear down anything more than 30 years old to build more cookie cutter, generic buildings that lack any real style.  Let's hope this building stays around for a long time to come!

5.28.10: Hockey practice is a perfectly good place for a nap.

Sometimes when you fall down during a fast and furious hockey drill practice, it is best to just stay down for a second. Or a minute. Or a few minutes. This little guy was overwhelmed and he just laid there while the other soon-to-be Ducks swirled around him.

Take a load off!

 

I was recently shooting some work for a model friend of mine for her portfolio in downtown Santa Ana. We ran across this old couch behind one of the furniture stores, so we used it for a couple shots.

05.26.10 And on the eighth day, God created Irvine

 

 Well, first he got his plans approved by The Irvine Company, then he created Irvine.

Newport Pier circa....??

 

Well...last Saturday, actually....but it does have a rather timeless aspect to it.......

5.23.10 The Gravitron

A Cambodian festival for Buddha's birthday.
Came across a little parking lot carnival at the Westminster Mall in celebration of Buddha's birthday.

Taken with a Holga 120 camera converted into a pinhole on Fuji NPS 120 film. About a 2-3 minute exposure.

5.22.10 OC Daily Photo

I think I've been on a bit of a car kick lately.  Of course, it doesn't hurt that wherever I seem to look, there are pretty cool funky cars.  This one was taken at the Block in Orange, and then messed about with in Photoshop.

5.21.10: Where Little League is a Big Deal

Orange County boys waiting before the a Little League championship game.

Some laugh for no reason, as 10 year old boys often do-

while others stare off into the distance with a touch of anxiety mixed with excitement.

They won.

Patiently waiting for the party to start in Irvine.

The Mean Streets of Balboa Island

 

I've been haunting the Balboa Island neighborhoods the past few weeks on a photo assignment, and have had to apply my urban survival skills versus the apparent infestation of Yorkshire Terriers. Note that there's none seen surviving in this image...
