I'm such a sucker when it comes to gardening. If I see a baby grasshopper munching on my beautiful herbs, I start wondering if maybe I should put out a water source so he can have something to drink.
I don't usually take macro shots of insects but I couldn't resist staring down this bold little fellow...
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. Join me as I put down roots in my new home town.
About This Blog
The thumbnail view: A picture a day from South Pasadena, California -- an incorporated city within the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. All photos up to November, 2008 were taken with a Fujifilm Finepix E900 camera. I added a Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD in December 2008, and I switch between the two. I regularly crop images and use basic editing software to adjust the brightness, intensify the contrast, and increase color saturation. Other than that, all images come straight from the camera with minimal alteration. (If I couldn't have done it in a darkroom, I won't do it with a computer.)
The bigger picture: Consider it a love letter to the place I call home.

Our very own Altadena poet Linda Dove weaves words into thoughtful tapestries in her moving new poetry collection In Defense of Objects. You'll want to read these beautiful poems aloud.
Kevin McCollister of East of West LA astounds us with haunting images of Los Angeles. But since we can't put his blog on our coffee table, we can buy his fantastic new book. I believe Kevin's images truly capture the quixotic and often heartbreaking soul of LA.

He appears to be caught in the act.
This little guy looks like he's just slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I coulda had a V-8!"
Or, he said, "Where's the Beef?"
If he had a V-8, he'd be red-faced!
This is a sweet one. I just watched A Bug's Life. Can you tell?
He definitely appears to be a V8 kind of guy...
He's green with envy and pineapple sage.
Laurie, I think he's eyeing you.
No apple pie so he will settle for pineapple sage.
Dixie Jane, I was trying not to say apple pie.
Now you've uncovered my secret need for ................
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Pie.

Laurie, is there any commotion around the Fremont Theatre? Is Bradbury still on for July? Click on my name.
Thanks, gang!
