Category Archives: California Did you know that Los Angeles is home to one of the oldest cathedrals in the United States? Santa Vibiana Cathedral dates back to 1876 and is one of the oldest building in the city. So what does that have to do with Dodger Stadium? Well, Dodger Stadium is celebrating 50 years old this year […] 
 Last night we were treated to the most spectacular sunset so far this year in Southern California. We hardly ever get rain in the L.A. area, especially in July. So when I peeked outside and saw the blanket of clouds throughout the southland, I figured this might be a nice photo opportunity. I headed out […]
 There’s nothing more American than fireworks on the 4th of July while at a baseball game. And I would bet this is one of the best views you will get in Los Angeles for a fireworks show. This park overlooking Dodger Stadium is not that well known with Angelenos. Everyone, including me, prefers nearby Griffith […]
 I love hiking. It’s healthy, adventurous, and you get to discover the wonderful sights found in nature. Like this place up in the Redwood forest. It is a little roadside attraction named the Trees of Mystery. As you drive along the 101 FWY near Klamath, you’ll see a gigantic 50 ft. statue of Paul Bunyan […]
 I went out shooting with a group of photographers in downtown Los Angeles and they picked a great spot that I was unfamiliar with. Right on the corner of Olive and 8th is the 100+ year old Commercial Exchange Building which has some nice views of the downtown skyline. Also, I had never noticed the […]
 It is hard to comprehend how big the Redwood forest trees are if you have never been there. As you walk around, it is amazing to see the magnitude of these giant trees that have been here for 100’s of years. Most grow to over 300 ft. and some have even been around for over […]
 What are the best cities to explore after dark? I know Paris has a well deserved reputation as the city of lights, but there is always room for others on the list. In downtown Los Angeles, there has been a big revitalization going on in the last 5-10 years. I remember a time as recently […]
 I am so excited that another baseball season is upon us. I have always been a big baseball fan and while every city might claim theirs is the best venue to watch a baseball game, I will always prefer Dodger Stadium. It is celebrating its 50 year anniversary this year and it still beats many […]
 Southern California has many popular beaches with cool names like Oceanside, Newport, and Venice. Then there is this little slice of beach up in Malibu named Matador (Killer). I wonder why someone would give it that name? Maybe it’s because the steep hike to and from will leave you gasping for air. Or it could […]
 It’s tough to get a good photo of the Los Angeles skyline when no one will allow you in any of the buildings. I was trying to get access after work hours to a rooftop at some of the downtown buildings but was not having any luck. Unless you work in a particular building or […]
