In today's visit to Joshua Tree, I made it a point to stay through the sunset. I'm really glad I did because I got a few great shots in those last 10 minutes or so. I especially liked this one :-)

Today it rained. and rained. and rained. and then it hailed. and then it rained some more.
When I looked outside at my drowning plants, I did see that they looked beautiful with the raindrops. After that I was pretty glad it rained today :-)

random order... sometimes you just need a reminder of what's right in front of you every day :-)

What can I say? I was bored at work today. All I could think of was Thoreau's famous words: "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." boy did I feel that way today!
On the upside, I snapped this cool pic at my desk! Maybe next time I have a super slow day I'll do more notes...

I'm sure I mentioned already that I've been in a hibernating mood lately. Unfortunately,  I wasn't inspired by anything at home today for the daily pic. So I decided to take a walk down memory lane and fix up an old photo. This is from a loft in Downtown Los Angeles about 3 years ago. I loved that the building had retained its industrial details (like these awesome honeycomb-wired glass windows).

Things have been slow at work lately. These days I spend a large part of my day looking out the window and daydreaming.... I'm very thankful to sit next to a window so I can dream my day away! :-)

I can't resist taking pictures on my way home sometimes, especially during this time of the year when I drive home during the gorgeous sunsets!
Still, taking memorable pics of the ocean/beach is one of the most difficult things I've ever tried to photograph. Go ahead, try it. It's not as easy as it sounds...

It's beautiful outside today, and the fluffy clouds in the sky just make it the perfect day for some pics. I chose this picture because it almost looks like a painting... and I loved the pop of red from the woman's jacket :-)

I was at a loss for what to photograph today, and the fact that I've been slowly turning into a hermit isn't helping. Pretty soon I'll have documented every object in my apartment.
Object of the day: glossy canvas of the Matisse reproduction in my bedroom. I love that it has a canvas texture... good job Ikea :-)

Playtime on Photoshop! :-)
**note: the original image of the woman on the couch is not mine. it's an ad for furniture that i really like.
**note 2: the red color of the ad image is NOT faked. it's a black and white picture, but the photo came out in red and black. it was an accidental technique discovery. i love those :-)
**note 3: i could totally see this as an event poster!

It's nice to take a different way home every once in a while... it makes you see things in a new light again. This tower caught my eye against the beautiful sky.

Ok, I admit it. I flaked on snapping a new picture today. Can you forgive me??
However... in the constant attempt to get a good picture of the beach/horizon/ocean/sunset, I did a little editing on some pics I took about a week ago on my way home from work. I liked how this one turned out. I like how the warmth of the setting sun still translates even though it's a sepia toned image.
