Trip to Detroit

Aviva and I took a trip to Detroit October 7 – 10, 2021 for the first time since the COVID pandemic started. It was great to spend time with family. I spent a whole day with Nathan running around southeastern Michigan. Here are three photos:

King Tut exhibit

We visited the Los Angeles Science Center to see the King Tut exhibit. The exhibit was really nice – lighting made photography possible, and the texts were very informative. It was really crowded and it was possible to get close to all the objects I wanted to see. As usual I took a lot of […]

Photos from Dequindre Cut in Detroit

A couple weeks ago we visited Detroit; Aviva took me to the Dequindre Cut, a former railroad line that’s now a greenway, walking/biking path, and graffiti art walk. Of course I took some photos and here they are.

Exhibits at the Getty

We went up the hill to visit the Getty Museum – we especially wanted to see the new acquisitions exhibit (including a drawing by Michelangelo). We checked out some of the other special exhibits of course, and here are some pics…

La Brea Tar Pits and Museum

I’ve lived in Los Angeles for over eight years and hadn’t been here. Nathan and Ashley wanted to go so it seemed like a good opportunity. And it was fun! We had lunch at the LACMA cafe (its a short walk from the Tar Pits across a park along the Tar Pits Lake) and then […]

Anime Expo 2017

My son Nathan and his spouse Ashley came in to visit, and we spent two days at Anime Expo. It’s always fun – there are cool sessions and autograph opportunities along with an artist alley and exhibit hall full of people selling everything. This year was bigger than last year – on Saturday it was […]

Nathan, Ashley and I spent the day at Universal Studios – we didn’t do any rides (well, Ashley did the Minions ride). We did spend time walking the whole park and taking part in the new Walking Dead ‘ride’.

The Getty Villa (again)

The Getty Villa (again)

I took Nathan and Ashley to the Getty Villa while they were in town – Ashley likes ancient things and I studied ancient history for over 3 years in college (6 credits of ancient Latin shy of a degree). The gardens are based on the gardens from Hadrian’s villa and they are beautiful – I […]
