Judy Williams said...: AWWWWW. That hat really looks authentic. I'm bustling about preparing for a meal that lasts 25 minutes. But I am happy that I won't cook again the rest of the week.

I'm thankful the the internet and it's ability to connect all of us together. Cheers!!; November 25, 2010 at 7:04 AM
Laurie said...: I'm about to start the pumpkin soup, but I need coffee to get rolling.

Little Bit was so proud of her REAL Pilgrim hat at her kindergarten pageant. (But she really wanted to wear one of the boys' construction paper black ones with a yellow buckle. Way to buck the system there, kiddo!)

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. And if anyone actually eats Turducken, you'd better let me know. I still think that's hilarious.; November 25, 2010 at 8:02 AM

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.
