Rules

Well, I don't mind giving up the dogs and rollerskates but no tackle football or golf horses? Forget it!

Shanna said...: But cussing is still allowed. Right? Except for one week?; June 4, 2011 at 4:29 PM
Trish said...: I took a pic of one of these at the junior high a few years back...to prove to a friend that they didn't say you are prohibited from *taking* one of the tractors or skip loaders (aka motorized equipment) for a joy ride across the fields...not that I'd know anything about such things, but, uhm, if someone had been so stupid as to leave the keys in one on a field over the weekend...things might happen. ;-D or, so I've heard.

Does anyone even know what hardball is anymore?; June 6, 2011 at 12:22 PM
TheChieftess said...: Oh you naughty girl Trish!!! Next time you joy ride in a tractor, let me know...I wanna come!!!; June 6, 2011 at 12:49 PM
Trish said...: Chieftess...once was ~30 years ago...tried again a few years ago on a visit, but they locked the damn thing up...guess someone musta learned! ;-) Perhaps The Chief would have had to arrest me those few years ago?!?! ;-); June 6, 2011 at 6:13 PM
TheChieftess said...: Well...not anymore...out of his jurisdiction now...; June 6, 2011 at 6:40 PM
Trish said...: uhm, one incident was while he was Chief...but someone smartly locked up the motorized equip! ;-); June 7, 2011 at 9:53 AM
TheChieftess said...: Oh dear!!! It's a good thing they locked it up!!! We might have met under different circumstances!!!; June 7, 2011 at 12:28 PM
Trish said...: lol...uhm, naaah, wasn't me, nobody saw us do it...ahem...I just HEARD about it...;-); June 7, 2011 at 5:38 PM
TheChieftess said...: Whew!!! I was afraid we might have to end our friendship before we even met!!!; June 7, 2011 at 5:51 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.)

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.
