Amazing wheel and brakes on an Audi R8.

Carmel-by-the-sea

Moments like this almost make the house prices there seem worth it. Almost.

Green Hornet

I can't wait for this movie! I saw this car at the L.A. Auto Show and I knew I wanted to take it home and slap it around in Photoshop. I know it's gonna be awesome in the movie, driving around blowing things up. Thus, my tribute to hornet who is green.

Joyful Abandon

My boys enjoying the beach and the sunset in Carmel.

Seen from a car

I rarely go to downtown L.A. Even rarer still is going to downtown and not being the driver. On the way home from the auto show, my dad was driving so I got to do some sightseeing of L.A. at night. It just so happens that it was around 5 p.m. and the traffic was, ah, not moving very quickly. Ok, it was stop and go. Mostly stop. I had time to think, "Pretty buildings. Sure would be great to take a picture of them." Being the quick thinker that I am, I grabbed my fancy schmancy camera and took some pictures out the open window. Most of them were crappy (surprise) but a few turned out a'ight. Here's my fav.

Glass

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a relaxing weekend. We had a great, low key time at my parents house. I got this shot while my mom was setting the table, and I loved the simplicity of it.

L.A. Auto Show 2010

I spent almost the entire day at the L.A. Auto Show with my dad, and it was awesome! We had a great time looking at and talking about cars new and old. I am an unabashed car lover, so this is like a candy store for me. I'm not a car fix-it guy, but I look at beautiful cars as rolling works of art. I love the details and precision, the beauty and strength. Man, I sound like a fairy or something. Anyway, I went, I saw, I took pictures. Here's a few of my favorites.

Get Gas

While visiting Monterery (yes there will be posts that don't include Monterey) my cousin and his wife, along with their beautiful baby, took us to a great mexican restaurant. No, I don't remember the name of it, because, well, I have trouble remembering stuff. Sometimes I have my kids wear name tags. Anyway, I thought the outside of the place was pretty photogenic so I took this picture. See, I can have a post about Monterey/Carmel that doesn't include water!

These gas pumps don't work, but I had no problem getting gas inside the restaurant. ;)
