Angels in the Outfield
Jun 30
Angels Groundskeepers that is.
Newest assignment for Orange Coast is out now.
Barney Lopas the amazingly knowledgeable and talented groundskeeper for Angels Stadium was the subject of this months Trade Secrets section.
It’s kind of amazing how much this guy does to keep the proper moisture level, grass height, and pattern perfect all day everyday.
Bob the Pilot

I can’t believe I never blogged about this guy back when I photographed him.
He flies those banner ads you see hovering above you at the beach or county fairs.
He also let me fly his stunt plane.
Dolphins On the High Seas
Feb 18
Here are some outtakes from a recent Orange Coast Magazine Shoot. The issue comes out in March, but I kinda just wanted to share these.
This reminds me of the Solaris (The remake, movie meh, music=great) original score by Cliff Martinez.
My barometer is always whether or not I can remember something it in my head afterwards, and if I do, did it fit the movies mood completely.
My last assignment for Orange Coast is on the shelves now.
I used to watch this guy review video games on a little underrated show on what was then TechTV. I had no idea he was the musical genius behind Earthworm Jim and other games of my youth.
He’s a big kid at heart, and his home is filled with the same kind of movie memorabilia I used to (and still secretly) wish for while perusing Sharper Image catalogs. He also owns a lifesize Tron lightcycle.
Click on through to the article, it’s an interesting read if you’re at all interested in old video games.
Media Blackout Week
Nov 22
I have decided to make myself a stronger person.
To start off this “Vision Quest” I have decided to shelter myself from television, facebook, wandering the internet aimlessly, and general time wasting activities for a week. Like a master cleanse of media.
Instead I’ll be doing the reading I always tell myself I’m going to do. Limber myself up with morning yoga, and take nighttime runs listening to Journey’s “Only The Young.”
Status update in a week, plus some extra pre-scheduled posts during the holidays.
Also… I think I need to find a jacket like this guy’s.
Tranquil Tea Lounge
Nov 22
Had a meeting with Orange Coast Magazine a couple months ago, and on stifling summer drive back to LA with a broken air conditioner (barefoot, uphill, both ways, in the snow) I received my first assignment with them via email. The issue is out on shelves now and has some great info on OC nightlife if you’re out in that direction.
Stay tuned for more work from Orange Coast!
The brother sister team that own and operate Tranquil Tea Lounge in Fullerton have an awe inspiring selection of specialty teas to choose from. It’s a welcome change of pace from the impersonal caffeine machine that is Starbucks and has delicious salads and sandwiches to boot.
