#64 in the 'my morning' series, where I take a picture of my newspaper and coffee/breakfast. This picture is from September, at my los feliz apartment.

I have a nice little collection now spanning from my first apartment in DC, dorm at USC, coffee shops in Boston, and holiday meals in Tampa.

an ode to southern california modernism.

when your name is as common as wright, you learn there are many wrights in many fields(like kitty hawk). I find it to be kind of a rorschach test of a person of what famous 'wright' they identify the last name with.

the people I truly love are those who know 'wright' as Frank Lloyd Wright. who I love because of his contributions to southern california modernism, but more particularly how that movement manifested in the southern california middle class home later. my friend ian lives in one of these houses, but his beach house in laguna niguel is the best example I have ever spent much time in. here it is in a few pictures.

photo tuesday

in addition to my performing arts pursuits, I am a photographer as well. so every tuesday I will be uploading a picture from my portfolio.

this photo called 'pacific' was taken on pacific coast highway, I think just north of malibu but I dont know the exact location.
