An ongoing project I started, taking different streets in LA and showing the everyday sights, not just the iconic landmarks, along the way. I also wanted to get a feel of how the streets cn go through such drastic changes as you move along them.

LA “river”:

I found these old polaroids in a box that my mom brought back from my grandparents house in Texas. I’m guessing 1940′s, maybe early 50′s

About 24 hours ago, my Grandpa, John Goeglein, “flew away to a land where joy will never end”.

I just went through all the photos that I could find on my computer. Better ones to come later.

I saw this commercial during the World Cup. I want one of these! I play basketball and also do a lot of running, but it’s really hard for me to run without a plan. I tried that Nike one where you stick a sensor in your shoe, but it didn’t work very well. I think my legs might be too long for it.. but this one looks great it tracks distance, heart rate and pace. It has a bunch of different training plans for different sports or races. I want to try the basketball trainer since I think I’ve lost some hops after my marathon.

We had to go to a Detroit Tigers  game while we were here in Michigan. So I figured I’d get a few panos. It was a sold out crowd of 42,000 give or take.
