No Place To Eat Near LACMA

There was only one location where we could get something to eat that was near LACMA and that was a small diner that specialized in hot dogs. Why are there so few good resturants near LACMA? Like none.

This place has been closed for quite a while. Why?

Laguna Beach

This spot is just north of Main beach. The tide pools are just to the right. It was an overcast, wet, and windy day. This picture gives me the feeling that nothing good will happen here. In reality when people walk this spot they're usually on there way to Rock Pile beach and rarely notice what they're passing. Also at high tide this is all getting hit from the surf. We think if it had been a sunny day we wouldn't have notice this scene.

This Post Needs A Title

This bible was found on the sidewalk. We didn't touch it. But we did photograph it.

Can you help us with a title?

The Street Lamps Plaza

My only question is why is there a wall seperating the BP Grand Entrance from the main campus of the museum?

The Elevator To Nowhere

If you are a LA Times reader then you may have read the story in last thursday's Guide edition of artist Barbara Kruger's reaction to the art at the new Broad building. Ms Kruger is the artist that created the image you see behind the glass elevator that's directly opposite the entrance to the Broad building. Did you try the glass elevator? Did it go anywhere? If it did you where one of the lucky ones.

On the very same day the article was appearing in the Guide section we were visiting the new Broad building. After viewing the art on the third floor we got on the glass elevator. Then we waited. The elevator doors closed. Then we waited. The elevator doors opened. Then we waited. Problem: To many people in the elevator. Once the problem was revealed several of us got off. Then several more got on not knowing of the elevators problem. Elevator doors close. Those inside waited. Nothing. We left and used the outside stairs. We have no idea how many times the elevator doors opened and closed before it was happy with the load but it did finally make it to second floor.

Never saw Ms Kruger's art work that's behind the glass elevator and extends the entire three floors of the building. Maybe next time.

The photo shows the entrance to the third floor of the Broad building. The glass elevator is on the left.
