the shat upon

those of you who know me, know that i can be very annoying and immature ... especially when it comes to phrases that i think are funny or odd or interesting. i will declare that new phrase as my "new band name" or "at least a song title for the band." i don't have a band. i can play "louie louie" on guitar and i don't know the whole thing ... anyway, the title of this blog is my new emo band's name. the shat upon. seems appropriate, those emo kids are so depressed ... that phrase actually came from wanting to shoot seagulls at a view point on the way to san diego ... weave and i were worried that we might become "the shat upon." ok seriously, that's my new band name.

i had fun shooting here and, no, we did not get shat upon.


sea gull or eagle?




chaos above




do not feed





the one called "wing" might be my favorite. it is not cropped (except for size) and honestly, i don't remember taking the picture, but i love it ... actually, its hard for me to pick a favorite. i like all 4 above, which is rare for me ...

Moving Vehicle

I've never shot out of a moving car - So I thought I'd try it. I always see things from the car that I'd like to shoot, so I tried it. And I'll try it again.

 I was trying to get a picture of a guy in echo Park pushing a shopping cart. As I was going to point the camera toward him I hit the window with my lens and snapped the picture. Not sure what this is, but I like it.


 More of my fav ... Palm Trees and Power Lines ...

Train Bridge



Otis on the tracks

I love this train bridge. More coming, I'm sure.

Frog House

I love the Frog House. Best surf shop with helpful people that seem like they would be dicks ... But they're not.

Nardcore

Less is more? Didn't I type that somewhere pertaining to this blog? I did, I know I did, but I shot 157 pictures over the weekend and am having trouble narrowing them down ... I'm not saying they are all "show-worthy" but I like them and I like where they were taken, so ...  I guess I'm posting them. Hope you like or at least look at them.



Wagon Wheel Bowling



The Back of the Wagon Wheel Inn

 The bowling sign and the broken down motel have so much potential. I feel like I could have spent an entire day there. I'll be back ...

Sunday evening

Anyone see the sunset on Sunday? Wow. None of these are editted, no color boosting, no cropping, except the last one is color boosted a little.

Sunday Afternoon

Sunday 2-13 (Happy Birthday Henry Rollins) I had driven by a few spots that looked like they would be cool to take pictures at ... They are in Orange, so I took Otis to a dog park in Orange, got him tired and went on a little photo expedition. Otis is a great photo-assistant. Very patient.
