Murphy Ranch Hiking Trail

today i took bagel on the motorcycle out along sunset blvd. to rustic canyon state park. bagel wore his new doggles and
captured a lot of attention from other drivers and pedestrians.

we took sullivan ridge fire road and walked out towards the murphy ranch gate.



shortly after i began the hike, i realize that i forgot to bring water, and i had no map. how in the world was i going to find
the abandoned graffiti building?



we circled around, paved and unpaved roads, the roads kept forking, and i just chose the path randomly.



and there we found it, the old power building, now abandoned and covered with graffiti.



i hiked alone with bagel, and since i have no one better to take pictures of, i asked bagel to pose for me.



he posed in different parts of the house.



a serious face



a little less serious heh

we didn't spend too much time there because i didn't want to get us too dehydrated, so we quickly hiked the 4 mile
hike back. looking the trail up on the internet now, i realized that i hiked over 8 miles today before going to mother's
day dinner, and i wasn't even that tired. i guess i'm not that out of shape anymore.

(praying that i'm not too sore tomorrow)

i have a super long work day tomorrow.


Bagel's New Doggles

bagel's new goggles came in the mail today. he's now geared up and ready to ride.



i think it's going to take a couple rides for him to get fully used to it tho.


Flame Broiler

last night, prior to celebrating vicki's bday, i grabbed a quick dinner at flame broiler. i'm too greedy i always order two.



it was good, i wish there was a flame broiler right next to where i live.

Killer Cafe

i didn't get to sleep last night. at 5:15am i rode out to marina del rey for a 6am shoot. it was cold and gloomy, and the
sun had yet risen.



i was asked to photograph a new diner cafe called killer cafe.



it's the only waterfront cafe with its own private dock, opens at 6am, perfect place to stop by before heading out on a
fishing trip.



the manager brett and the lady working there were super friendly and hospitable. i love places like that.

Lure Nightclub

this morning i went to photograph a new club in hollywood called ivar



it's located where cabana club, sunset room, and the green door used to be.



the bar is actually really huge, but it was still going thru construction, so i couldn't really shoot wide and from afar.



the walls are filled with the most expensive led light panels, but the people on site didn't know how to turn them on.



the patio area is where they will be serving food. right now it still looks the same as it did when the bar was called "the green door".



and this is the other outdoor area.
