I was interviewed for the Palisadian Post newspaper. It's one of the earlier places where I got publishing experience. I worked there in 1989 or 1990, while I was a community college student in Santa Monica. I shot tons of photos, processed the film by hand, and printed camera ready art. I was the chief photographer in a small editorial staff of 5. The paper actually has an advertising staff,...
I was interviewed for the Palisadian Post newspaper. It’s one of the earlier places where I got publishing experience. I worked there in 1989 or 1990, while I was a community college student in Santa Monica. I shot tons of photos, processed the film by hand, and printed camera ready art. I was the chief photographer in a small editorial staff of 5. The paper actually has an advertising staff, admin, paste up (which I’m sure is not digital), and their own printing press, which to me is a treasure to have, especially in an upper class neighborhood. Printing presses usually reside in crappy warehouses in industrial areas. This might be the richest press around – pound for pound! It sits behind the editorial offices on a chunk of commercial property in the Pacific Palisades. Recently they published a photo I took ages ago of a friends band, The Inclined, and now, they interview me for their paper. It’s quite an honor. We’ll see how it comes out. Michael Aushenker is a familiar face from the comic book world. He’s been working at the Post since January, and I’m sure he’s doing a great job. He’s able to extend his creativity for comics and indie culture to a neighborhood paper. I always knew that the job is what you make it, and it seems like he’s having a good time. Behind him a new billboard went up. I’ve never seen it happen, so this is what it looks like when they change the vinyls. The David Choe pieces got some air. As did the Shepard Fairey. But the big winner is Will Ferrell.

I'll be honest, I don't like squirrels, but it turns out, they actually have personalities. Most see a human and run for cover. Those are the ones I really dislike. There's one which I've noticed that doesn't run when people are around. It's skiddish, and freaks out if you make a sudden movement, but it'll get pretty close. It's she, so, she's been hanging out a lot lately, and today, I saw the...
I’ll be honest, I don’t like squirrels, but it turns out, they actually have personalities. Most see a human and run for cover. Those are the ones I really dislike. There’s one which I’ve noticed that doesn’t run when people are around. It’s skiddish, and freaks out if you make a sudden movement, but it’ll get pretty close. It’s she, so, she’s been hanging out a lot lately, and today, I saw the thin tailed squirrel eating an avocado. Normally, I’d fight for that avocado, but not today. I’m not sure if I like the paws on a squirrel, but maybe just this one is ok. I might give squirrels a break from now on out, just maybe.

Fooled you. I bet you thought it yet another tired food blog. I can't say I'm an expert or even near in on Little Tokyo or Japan town or any town. However, I am qualified to talk about the ownership of property, leases, and maybe a bit about the future. There's two comments I copied and pasted below after my post about Shojin. Never mind, that the food was really good, the comments are more about...
