Anime Expo 2015

My son and his fiance visited from Michigan and we spent two days at Anime Expo. I must admit it’s a pretty wild ride. There were a lot of people there: A very short video of the Taiko drumming at the start – they had drummers set up on both sides of the entry: You […]

The Bunny Museum and the Huntington Library

Yesterday was Obscura Day in LA – a day to celebrate obscure things to do in Los Angeles. We tried to visit the Bunny Museum once before only to find you needed to call well in advance to book an appointment. The Bunny Museum was on the Obscura Day list! This is one wild place […]

I really like this one – I envisioned the green peeking through a black & white trunk, so that’s what I did. Hope you like it.

More pictures and the Museum of Jurassic Technology

Yesterday we decided to crawl a few galleries in Culver City. We saw some pretty good art for a change. Then we went to the Museum of Jurassic Technology – I can’t believe we waited so long to check this out. It’s amazing! It could easily take you a couple hours to read everything – […]

Recent photos around Los Angeles

I’ve been really busy, too busy to post photos I’ve been taking. So here’s a bunch, some taken at the Barnsdall Art Center at a show celebrating Juxtapoz, the Turner show at the Getty Museum, the Santa Monica Pier, and  just around town. Hope you like them!

Photos at Umami Burger

We ate Saturday night at the Umami Burger on Ventura Blvd. – very different decor than the one on Sawtelle, very unusual looking place. The food is just as good as the other location we visited. I took a couple pictures….

Photos from Palm Desert

We visited my mother-in-law and one of my brothers-in-law in Palm Desert. We took a hike to Indian Canyons and we took a lot of pictures – it was beautiful and a nice place to hike with wide trails and a stream running down the middle of the canyon. I also took a pic of […]

Odd Nerdrum show at Copro Nason Gallery

Aviva and I drove to Santa Monica specifically to check out a show of Odd Nerdrum’s work – we saw his work at a New York gallery years ago and really love it. And this show didn’t disappoint. The show at Copro Nason Gallery at Bergamot Station featured six pieces by Odd Nerdrum and a […]

Museum of Natural History in LA

We’ve had a quiet Thanksgiving this year. We had lunch at a place that does dim sum in the Valley, A&W BBQ Seafood Restaurant. They do dim sum til 2:30P and you need to try it if you’re here – they server it Hong Kong style with metal carts that are pushed through the room. […]
