Laurie, if you endorse this guy's cause, I can see you leaving his appeal up. If you see this as the scam it probably is, why don't you delete it? If it's a scam, some reading your blog might fall for it.
Green Guy, I could tell you where to place it, but won't. My comment was absolutely valid and only made because it was an appropriate comment for the second intrustion by this probable scammer. Enough already.
Anon, it's just someone spamming for ad clicks. I tend not to spend a lot of time deleting comments unless they are offensive or dangerous -- which almost never happens. Most people online are hip to Nigerian bank scams and this is obviously not one of them -- just a blogger trying to get people to click through ads for a little kickback. No harm, no foul.
Oh fab. Great photo, great conversation. The stars remind me of when somebody gets smacked on the head in an old Looney Tunes cartoon. Or was it Merrie Melodies?
Off the top, I think one morphed into the other. But neither related to the beloved Felix and Crazy Cat...I think, off the top. (I know, Google verification is easy. Wow, if only available when I was a kid...and a number of years beyond.)
StarGate. That happens to be the name of the fabulous digital effects company HQ in South Pasadena, located smack inside the Farmers' Market. Maybe they'll want a print for their lobby?
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. This daily blog covered over 4 year as I put down roots in my new home town.

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.
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.

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.

Please for Christ sake help this poor boy from Haiti
Non-Christians exempt from appeal?
"Dumpster to the stars."
Excellent, Mr. Earl! (Does that dumpster have a door? Are those windows?)
Maybe the boy from Haiti is in there. (sorry)

Oh great. Another Anonymous commenter telling Laurie what she should do.
Is this from Arroyo Park? I can't place it.
Shoot for the stars! Even if you miss, you'll land in the, er, trash?
Hey boys, don't fight on Lauries blog, come over to mine and do it. I love drama!

Carry on.

The Walk of Trash?
I love that, Diana!

Affordable California housing? And look to boot, they throw in the walk of stars too!
When Oscar the Grouch retired to South Pas, only one photographer even came close to getting the shot.
Duuuuude, I bet that shed is totally crammed full of FIREWORKS!
