colavitos ghost: wow, venice beach looks pretty amazing! i would expect it to be kind of cheesy, but this shit looks real. seems like the authorities don't care about people tagging up the beach....is there some kind of unspoken agreement about that?

aer suzuki: sporks don't grow on trees, bill. i think these are cool photos, there's a theme running along and the spork makes a nice exclamation point.

in response to Looking Down Danger Nose

aer suzuki: yup, though only two choices : tofu teriyaki with either yakisoba or rice. i hadn't really noticed the lack of vegetarian stuff at the time, since i was on a noodle hunt and only zeroed in on the yakisoba...

jeeff: great entry! you really convey the strong sense of place in these photos. i've seen venice beach portrayed in movies and video games, but never before has it been "real" to me.

kevin bracken: when looking at skyline comparison blog posts, people often use many different angles when comparing skylines. i am glad that you used straight-on shots from afar. however, i would like to see comparisons start to use slightly elevated shots near sunset: it gives you a better idea of how it...
