Apparently I'll Be Adding 'Historian' To The Resume...

So just thought I'd share...this was kinda groovy. One of the homes I shot a few weeks ago for www.ShootingLA.com was apparently of some historical significance. It was built in 1954, and the residents, who have lived in it ever since, were a husband wife team, Albert and Gloria Martin, who not only designed the home, but

Education: Disrupted - A Fascinating Peek Into The Future Of Education

So I had a pretty privileged experience about a week ago. A man I do a lot of work for over the past several years, Frank Fitzpatrick, organized and hosted and produced “Education: Disrupted” at Pepperdine University, an event that may have laid the groundwork for a meaningful shift in the paradigm of how education is approached. It’s no secret that the current education system has its fair share of challenges, and methods of keeping students interested, engaged, and motivated seem to have become ever-elusive memories of a not-so-distant-yet-forever-ago past. Having already introduced his Why:Music interactive education initiative to everyone from Perimeter Institute to Singularity University and TEDx, Fitzpatrick seemed ready to stir some new questions into the mix, likely one of his big motivators in producing this thing.

You Don't Need Psychedelics To See All The Purty Colors...Just Innovate!

Ok, these are kinda  crazy…does anyone remember the Hypercolor shirts from back in the day? You know, those shirts that when you pressed on them, they changed color with the body heat and pressure?

Innovate has taken Hypercolor to another level (you've got to figure that one was due!).

Bluegrass And Treetops On The Topanga Trails

T'was a perfect day in Topanga Canyon, and to stay inside would have been a crime, so I grabbed one of my cameras, the Samsung NX300, threw on the 'summer' outfit, and headed out into the hills. As I was hiking through this, live bluegrass echoing through the canyon in the distant background served as my soundtrack. Don't know where it was coming from or what it was, but it was perfect.

Perfect.

Click past the break for a few images from that Topanga Canyon hike.

Back To The Future Does Pacific Coast Highway - And The DeLorean Is An Airstream

So I don't have too much to say about this one, really just wanted to share. This was one of the properties I was assigned to shoot yesterday for Airbnb.com. It was a chunk of land on a bluff off Pacific Coast Highway that housed an old vintage Airstream trailer that rested on a ledge in what seemed to be the most idyllic, picture-perfect mini-canyon on the California coast.
