I found this lady waiting for an order she had placed with the woman behind the counter at a “Big Box” store in Mississippi. She was soft spoken, patient, and circumspect like so many of the ’scooter people’ I have observed. This photo will be on display along with many others this coming Saturday at Daydream Republic, from 8pm to midnight, all are welcome.

I listened to John Gold’s “The East Side Shake” until the grooves melted off the cd! JG told me about his new project, “A Flower in Your Head“, at Roz Music’s 45th birthday bash about 10 mins before we sang the obligatory song and cut the cake. Please drop by his Myspace and while your there make sure and listen to “Ghetto”, perhaps my favorite John G tune of all time.njb

I captured this picture during the summer of 2009 in Los Angeles. “The Wilshire Monolith” is a remarkable building from virtually every angle, located on Wilshire Boulevard in The Miracle Mile, the structure enjoys direct proximity to The Los Angeles County Museum, La Brea Tar Pits and Peterson Museum. This photo recently placed in the top 100 of an international cell phone photography competition sponsored by The Helen Day Art Center.
