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….

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. […]

The canals of Venice (California)

We’ve lived here over 6 years and still haven’t seen a lot of California (yet). So we decided to check out the canals of Venice, CA. We took the dogs, they had a terrific time smelling everything. The original canals were designed by Abbot Kinney, one of the early developers of Venice – the ones […]

More photos, Tagine and Aviva

Last week we visited Bergamot Station and saw a show I liked at TAG Gallery. The artist used an app called Waterlogue, so I downloaded it and played with it at dinner last night – we went to Tagine to celebrate my birthday on Friday. They didn’t have authentic tagine, and the food was very […]

Made In LA 2014

Aviva and I decided to have an art day yesterday, so we went to the Hammer Museum which is part of UCLA; this was my first time at this gallery. It’s very nice, modern, clean. We ate lunch at the cafe – very interesting eclectic menu; I had eggs and chick peas, and a drink […]

Chinatown in Los Angeles (photos)

Aviva and I decided to visit Chinatown; it’s always interesting, lots of tourist crap and some more interesting things. We found some clothes we liked, and fit us (which is a bit unusual – most of the clothes are for tiny people). And we had Vietnamese for dinner at Via Cafe. As usual, I took […]

Photos from West Hollywood

We decided to go to West Hollywood yesterday, and I took a few shots. When I got home and loaded them into iPhoto I realized I had a set of pics from a visit back on March 1, so here’s both sets! I especially wanted to call out Gottsui – great Japanese restaurant that specializes […]
