Busy Holiday Week

From the swirl of holiday parties to a windy cool day at the beach to visit with Tyrus Wong and family for his monthly kite fly to a day between storms up at the top of Malibu to photograph the 747 Wing House, still in construction. Between holidays is not necessarily that restful but it IS creative!

And best of course is seeing my work and that of many of my fellow photographers on Aline Smithson's excellent LENSCRATCH blog. Her New Years Day curation of favorite photographs from photographers is incredible but do not skip over Aline's New Year's Eve post, a rare post about her own work.

Some pics from all of this posted on this chilly but brilliant New Years Day in Los Angeles.

My favorite image of the year posted on Lenscratch, Wing Abstract from the 747 Wing House Project. More to see on my website and photoshelter archive sites.



And new pics from the 747 Wing House Project, photographed between the rainistorms at the end of 2010. I am in love with these construction phases, contrasting often the many elements of structure with the beautiful environment in which it is situated.
