Yakpate said...: When Constance regained consciousness in the store front window, she couldn't remember the bet... or whether she had won or lost it!; March 25, 2010 at 6:50 AM
Bellis said...: When Constance came home from the ball after midnight, her cruel stepmother locked her in the front window for the night.; March 25, 2010 at 7:44 AM
-K- said...: I'm gonna suggest "Sweet Old World" 'cause it reminds me of the Emmy Lou Harris song. (Was it written by Lucinda Williams???); March 25, 2010 at 9:00 AM
Susan C said...: Constance always dreamed of occupying a corner office, but she didn't realize how lonely it would be.; March 25, 2010 at 9:45 AM

Mister Earl said...: LOL Hiker!

Really this is a "real doll" that belongs to someone, I'm not saying who, but he hides it in a store window thinking no one will know. But the Shadow knows!; March 25, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Virginia said...: OMG I'm back in Paris. Let's have a glass of champagne! :); March 25, 2010 at 6:42 PM
Yakpate said...: Altadena Hiker: HA-HA-HA-HA!!! My Dad made my brother and sister and I weed dandelions from the lawn when we were kids. It is, indeed, hard work!; March 25, 2010 at 7:20 PM
Pasadena Adjacent said...: A tribute to Alexander McQueen. Although I think it might require incorporating that nearby fold-out gate into the dress

if that doesn't get a laugh I'll help you with the weeds; March 25, 2010 at 7:22 PM
Laurie said...: Pasadena Adjacent, I seriously thought of McQueen too.

Mr. E, I saw a documentary about people with Real Dolls. Yikes. Constance is no real doll...

Hiker, ha ha! if it helps, I've only asked you guys to weed 29 times out of over 700 posts!

K, I need to go listen to that song immediately. I think I first heard it over at Shanna's.

Bellis, Judy, DBdubya and Susan -- yes!

You guys rock.; March 25, 2010 at 10:42 PM

Thank you Charlie's Coffee House for hosting my recent photo exhibit, South Pas: Observed. From October 2011 through January 2012 my pictures graced the walls of the best place in town to get a cup of coffee!

Read the nifty story on photo bloggers Petrea Burchard, Ben Wideman, Kat Likkel and little old me featured in the September, 2011 issue of Pasadena Magazine.

Check out pp 47-48 of the May, 2011 issue of Arroyo Magazine for my photos of the Raymond Restaurant's fabulous chef Tim Guiltinan. (Find more of my shots at Pasadena Weekly and the Toyota Farm to Table Tour website.)

About This Blog

The thumbnail view:

For over 4 years, I presented 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 megazoom in December 2008, a Nikon D3100 in 2010 and a Lumix DMC-DS8 in 2011. I shot with them all. In August 2010 I joined the iPhone camera craze and sometimes included pictures captured by my phone. I regularly cropped images and used basic editing software to adjust the brightness, intensify the contrast, and increase color saturation. Other than that, all images came straight from the camera with minimal alteration. (If I couldn't have done it in a darkroom, I wouldn't do it with a computer.)

The bigger picture:

Consider it a love letter to the place I call home.

Great Books by Local Bloggers

Run, don't walk to the nearest bookseller and pick up a copy of Margaret Finnegan's delightful debut novel, The Goddess Lounge -- undoubtedly the kookiest, most wonderful riff on Homer's Odyssey ever written. Margaret never ceases to inspire and make us laugh at her blog Finnegan Begin Again. Her book is magical, silly, smart and a wonderful love letter to the all the goddesses among us.

Our very own Altadena poet Linda Dove weaves words into thoughtful tapestries in her moving poetry collection In Defense of Objects and chapbook O Dear Deer.

Kevin McCollister of East of West LA blows our minds with haunting images of Los Angeles. But since we can't put his blog on our coffee table, we can buy his fantastic book. I believe Kevin's images truly capture the quixotic and often heartbreaking soul of LA. Don't take my word for it, see what The LA Times had to say.
