Having visited Silver Lake once before to tour the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences, I planned a short field trip last week to take in more residential architecture.

College Town (Re)Visit - Part 1

When the air quality was unhealthy due to the Bobcat fire in the Angeles National Forest these past few weeks I took to the road to visit my old college town of Claremont, about 25 miles east of Pasadena. Happily, though the air quality was generally unhealthy everywhere, it was good in Claremont!

Over the course of several morning runs, I had a chance to see Claremont anew, in a way that I hadn’t as a student.

Film Location Fun

It’s almost 6 months since the move to Pasadena and I continue to log the miles in and around my neighborhood. To keep it fresh, I have started to incorporate residential film locations into my running routes. Fortunately, there a long list of choices!

Modern Pasadena

It’s been hot these past couple weeks, in the 90s to 100s, yet still I venture outdoors most days. Lately, I’ve been capturing a lot of images that show off modern Pasadena and nearby cities.
