Returned to Los Angeles

Funny sculpture in my aunts john

Well needless to say, I have returned from the dreary midwest and slightly boring family 🙂 I got lots of relaxation and it was cool to see all of my family. But I live in LA for a reason, I don’t like the bible belt! Oh I did a little work there actually. Fixed up Mom, sister, and aunt computers. So I earned my keep. I also figured out how to get my feed/rss to show images as it was not doing it for some reason. I created a feedburner account (www.feedburner.com) then installed a plugin to wordpress called feedsmith to redirect rss output to feedburner. After hours of playing, I got it solved. Yay.

Awaiting Plane at LAX

Dolly Levi, as Mary Katherine Gallagher from SNL

I am sitting in the airport, on the floor, in order to use my laptop to connect to a network located inside the admiral’s lounge. Not sure why tmobile did not place a broadcaster outside the lounge, but at least I am able to connect. I did something I rarely do in these circumstances, I left my camera at home. I just figured I would use my Dad’s once I got home. So instead of posting a photo from the airport window, or something similar, I am posting an old favorite.

Preparing for Holidays

My Nieces
My two nieces with Buzz Lightyear at Disneyland

I am going home to visit my family for the thanksgiving holiday. It will be a nice change of pace as saint louis tends to be, well, quite midwestern. I cant wait to see my two cute nieces. I usually stay at my sister’s house, but this time I am going to stay at Mom’s. It will be interesting to see if she nags me a lot about getting a ‘real’ job. My family does not seem to understand my creative/artist path. It took me many years to come to the realization that I am not well suited for a corporate nine to five desk job. I know my photography is special, and that I have a great eye. I just keep doing what I know I was placed on earth for which is to capture people and places on camera.

Long Beach Visit

November 6, 2007December 24, 2008

I went to Long Beach for the day. I guess because it is not summer, the place was like a grave yard. Not another soul in sight. It was slightly eerie. Although it was a Monday and mid afternoon so that could be it. Mostly people go to see the ship and other attractions on the weekend. I think a lot of tourists who come to los angeles do not find out about long beach and stay in hollywood, etc.
