Going back over all of my night shots makes me realize I haven’t been out prowling in the dark nearly enough in the last few years. Originally published January 21, 2009. I’m repeating myself, folks. For the rest of this week I will present favorite shots from former posts. Read the Full Story at Glimpses […]

This shot combines several things I love about shooting pictures in South Pasadena. First of all, it’s Kaldi. The historical building originally served as early South Pasadena’s bank building but now offers a prime, central spot for satisfying a coffee jones while taking in a great view of the South Pasadena Public Library and Morrow […]
It’s really hard to pick a favorite of all the old cars I’ve captured with my camera, but this one is definitely up in the top ten. Okay, in the top twenty. Oh, who am I kidding? I love them all. Originally published on April 10, 2011 I continue to revisit some of my favorite […]
Talk about being swept off your feet! I captured this aerodynamic sneaker shot at the 2009 South Pasadena Fun Fair. It still makes me feel happy and breathless.

Nearby Pasadena has a City Hall worthy of inclusion in a list of great buildings of North America. Designers John Bakewell and Arthur Brown were greatly influenced by the early Renaissance style of 16th century Italian architect Andrea Palladio.
