Day 437 - 19 2 of 4 - 07.31.12

I'm sure this photo means virtually nothing to anyone but me.  I stumbled upon this storyboard at work this evening.  It is interesting to me because I recognized that hand written sticker as something I wrote and stuck on that storyboard well over ten years ago.  It was interesting to see that one of my stickers was still around after all these years.  These days storyboard artists rarely use storyboard to pin their storyboard panels to because everything is digital.  These are now mostly used for other artwork.  Back in the day I used to keep all the sequences for an entire movie pinned up.  This must have been the 2nd board from the 19th sequence.  So it was a little blast from the past.  It was something I saw today.

Day 436 - Water On A Chair - 07.30.12

This morning the table and chairs on the patio on my floor had been hosed down.  I took a picture of the dripping water.  It was something I saw today.

Day 435 - Roomies - 07.29.12

Dropped my daughter off for her 3 week ABT camp.  She is staying in a dorm and this is her with her roommate.  It was something I saw today.

Day 434 - Young Painter - 07.28.12

Today was a busy day.  Went to downtown Los Angeles for National Dance day.  Took some photos, but they didn't make the blog.  Then this afternoon we went saw Step Up Revolution.  The movie had laugh out loud bad dialogue and acting, but the dancing and soundtrack was great.  Then after the movie we had the pleasant surprise of running into a car show in downtown Burbank.  There were a ton of old restored cars.  There was also an old VW Bus that the owners setup for anyone to paint.  This was a favorite with the kids.  I caught this snap of this young painter.  It was something I saw today.

Day 433 - Shadow Wall - 07.27.12

Sun was going down as I left work and there was this neat shadow in the parking garage.  It was something I saw today.

Returned home this evening to find another shopping cart in my yard.  What nice neighbors I have.  It was something I saw today.

Day 431 - Non-Potable Water - 07.25.12

Stepped out on one of the balconies on the floor of the building where I work.  I think this valve is for fire fighting purposes.  It was something I saw today.

Day 430 - Red Bull Can - 07.24.12

I went in to work super early this morning.  I got there before the cleaning crew had done their morning routine and so there was this Red Bull Can left out from the night before.  It was something I saw today.

Day 429 - Red Baron Steak House Menu - 07.23.12

Food was on my mind when I got home from work tonight and so I thought a picture of this menu which is on my dining room wall would be nice to share.  This is a menu my wife and I got at an estate sale years ago for like a buck.  We recently framed it and hung it up.  It was something I saw today.

Day 428 - Lasagna - 07.22.12

Mmmmmmm.  Lasagna for dinner.  It was something I saw today.

Day 427 - iPhone - 07.21.12

Had a lazy Saturday.  The only real thing I accomplished was working on my photo show.  Finished cutting the foam core and started mounting photos.  So late afternoon when looking for a photo I saw my wife's phone charging.  It was something I saw today.

Day 426 - Mickey - 07.20.12

Definitely had one of those long days where I wasn't able to even think about a photograph until I got home in the evening.  I looked around the house and saw the small stack of drawings my family and I had done at California Adventure earlier this week.  I thought I take a photo of that.  This is a Mickey I drew.  It was something I saw today.

Day 425 - Cantaloupes - 07.19.12

Noticed the morning light raking across these cantaloupes on my kitchen counter this morning.  It was something I saw today.

Day 424 - 3 Postal Boxes - 07.18.12

Had to run to the post office this morning.  I ran inside to mail my letter, but I noticed these three postal boxes and thought it interesting that they were all different heights.  It was something I saw today.

Day 423 - Burbank Entertainment Village - 07.17.12

Another disaster of a photo.  This evening on my way home from work I had to stop by the local AMC theater to pick up movie tickets for Dark Knight Rises for work.  I brought my camera and took a picture of the sidewalk at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the theater.  This little piece of art isn't aging too well.  It was something I saw today.

Day 422 - Checkered Flags - 07.16.12

What a hideous photo?  So busy and unfocused, but it was all I had time or energy for today.  Took this as I was heading to my car after work.  We had checkered flags up for some event relating to one of our movies.  I'm not sure what the event was.  It was something I saw today.

Day 421 - Mary Poppins - 07.15.12

Had an amazing day at Disneyland and California Adventure.  One of the highlights was catching Mary Poppins' show in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle.  It was something I saw today.

Day 420 - Foam Core - 07.14.12

Today I spent a lot of time getting ready for a photo show I am doing at work of photos from this blog.  I am going to exhibit the first year of photographs.  I am going to mount each photo on foam core, which means I have a lot of foam core to cut.  This is a stack of pieces I was cutting.  It was something I saw today.

Day 419 - Elevator Buttons - 07.13.12

Late night at work and was exhausted again.  Took a photo in the elevator as I was heading out.  It was something I saw today.

Day 418 - Car Stereo - 07.12.12

I was so tired at the end of the day that when it came time to come home and I sat in my car sort of dreading thinking of something to photograph.  So without even getting our of the car I took a picture of my car stereo.  It was something I saw today.

Day 417 - Chess - 07.11.12

Day 416 - Yard Sale - 07.10.12

I drove down San Fernando today near the airport in hopes of photographing a plane landing, but after waiting I while I got impatient and looked for other things to photograph.  These sings on this pole were interesting.  It was something I saw today.

Day 415 - Rose Portrait Flash Test - 07.09.12

This evening I did another experiment with my new flash.  Played with some more bounced light.  This portrait of my daughter is the result.  It was something I saw today.

Day 414 - Dying Flower - 07.08.12

Played again with my new flash today.  There were some dying flowers on our dining room table that I decided to photograph.  In this shot I played with bouncing the light off the wall and ceiling.  It came out okay.  It was something I saw today.

Day 413 - Pee Wee Portrait - 07.07.12

Today begins a new chapter for this blog.  I got a new flash for my camera which does all sorts of neat things so I will be experimenting with that new toy over the coming weeks and months.  My first experiment was with shooting Pee Wee and Chairy.  It was something I saw today.

Day 412 - Shopping Cart On The Lawn - 07.06.12

My neighbor is an older gentleman who is mostly home bound.  He has in home caregivers taking care of him.  They take him out for walks in his wheel chair.  One thing they do that is kind of annoying is that they walk to the store and bring the shopping cart home.  Then they leave it in the front of their house and many times like today it rolls down the driveway settling in front of my house.  Well today when I got home there it was, the trusty old shopping cart.  I took a boring photograph of it and then this evening after dinner decided to play with it on the computer giving it this rainbow color effect.  Makes it kind of fun, I think.  It was something I saw today.

Day 411 - ATM - 07.05.12

On my way home from work this evening I had to swing by this ATM to deposit a check.  It was something I saw today.

Day 410 - Stone Soul - 07.04.12

I spent half of my day at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank.  My daughter had to rehearse and then perform for in the Fourth of July celebration.  She can be seen just to the left of the lead singer of Stone Soul a fantastic R&B/Soul band.  They were great singing the classics and getting the crowd dancing.  This was something I saw today.

Day 408 - Wheel House Pilot - 07.02.12

The family and I went to Disneyland today and I finally was able to ride in the wheel house of the Mark Twain.  Our pilot was very nice.  Here she is "steering" the boat.  It was something I saw today.

Day 407 - Porch Light - 07.01.12

If you ever try to find our house at night, you'll have some trouble because our porch light doesn't work.  It isn't just because there isn't a bulb.  The actual wiring is messed up and needs an electrician's touch.  Anyway this evening when I realized I hadn't taken a photo I just stepped out the front door and snapped this photo of something I saw today.
