A long time ago, in a very different land, two worlds came together and a project came out of it. I put it down just before finishing it, for reasons long lost, but have recently looked at it and wondered what would come of it if it were completed. Another project for the months ahead.—Dominick
View post →I don’t know why I should be surprised when I see a burst of color along the horizon, I keep waking to sunny days left over from September. These temperatures are not right, but the colors are nice. Funny how a few days of rain will make the next few days that much brighter. Enjoy […]

View post →Oddly enough, the one thing I dreaded about making the cross country trip in January was the possibility of missing a snow storm. I am one of the vocal few who love winter, love the snow, love the cold. Yes, I said love. Don’t curse me out. I don’t do the Calvin snow dance—at least […]

Being from the East coast, I have noticed […]
View post →Last week I spent a few days in Burbank, or Studio City, or Toluca Lake—I really don’t know where I was. This was my forth visit to greater Los Angeles—3 of which were under 4 days, one of which might have been under 4 hours—and each time I find myself rushing around trying to get […]
