This is a bike rack on the corner of Victory and Olive.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1134 - Journey To The Magic Cavern VHS - 06.29.14

I was doing some cleaning in my record room and came across this old VHS tape.  This was a direct tor video series that my son loved as a kid.  Actually we all loved it.  There are 6 movies in all.  This is the 5th one.  They are super low budget, but in a time when Doctor Who was off the air, this was kind of a low rent rip off.  Now that statement may be misleading.  There is now one in these movies like The Doctor, but there are elements in these movies that I think were plucked from Doctor Who.  There is a girl in here who is basically a rip off of Leela.  They have to collect pieces to the "nullifier" which is very similar to the plot device of the keys to time.  There is also a character very similar to the master.  Needless to say it was some good family entertainment back in the day.  So this was something I saw today.

Day 1133 - Grandmother and Granddaughter - 06.28.14

This morning I photographed a friend's family.  She asked me to take some family photos because her mother was in town.  The session turned out great and I got a lot of photos with which I am really pleased.  This one of grandmother and granddaughter is one of my favorites.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1132 - 21st Century Pandoras - 06.27.14

This evening my wife, daughter and I went down to Magnolia Park.  It was the last Friday of the month so all the food trucks were there and there were lots and lots of people on the street enjoying a perfect summer evening.  The food trucks, however, were not the reason we came.  We came to go to the Ladies Night Out event at Pinup Girl where and more specifically I went to see The 21st Century Pandoras play.  It was an interesting event with women sharing stories and some women musician/bands playing music.  This is Susan Hyatt one of the co-organizers and singer of The 21st Century Pandoras.  It was a fun night.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1131 - Tony's Italian Deli - 06.26.14

I drove up Magnolia on my way to work this morning and I passed Tony's.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1130 - Campanile Tower - 06.25.14

Before heading out to work this morning I took a photo of some of the shoes in our front room.  This is something I saw today.

Day 1127 - The Waitresses - 06.22.14

Yesterday I stopped in a new record store here in Burbank.  I did not plan on buying anything, but then I came across this Waitresses E.P.  It has the theme song for Square Pegs on it.  I had to buy it.  Part of the reason was because recently my family and I had watched the series so Square Pegs is on our minds.  I ran home and threw the record on and we rocked out.  Then this afternoon I digitized the record so I could have the songs on my iPod.  I used the old laptop seen in this photo.  This is something I saw today.

Day 1126 - Wait Until Machine Stops - 06.21.14

This afternoon my wife and I went to Griffith Park for a walk.  We started at the Carousel.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1118 - Newsies - 06.13.14

This evening was my daughter's Showcase performance.  One of the final numbers was from Newsies.  This is her leaping.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1117 - Dance Turn - 06.12.14

I took the day off from work today.  I stayed home so I could pick my mother up from the airport and so that I could photograph my daughter's dress rehearsal for her Showcase.  It was a long rehearsal as per usual.  This photo of her is one of my favorites.  I love the movement and I love how I caught the moment right when her back was squared up to the camera.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1116 - Marge Simpson Pez - 06.11.14

While looking for a sketchbook in my room I came across a bag of Pez dispensers.  That was this past weekend.  Tonight i decided one of them would make a good photo subject.  This is something I saw today.

Day 1115 - McDonald's Flags - 06.10.14

I took this while stopped at five points.  I find it interesting that the McDonald's sign is raised higher than the state and national flags.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1114 - Photos with Toothless Cake - 06.09.14

Today at work we had a toast for the release of How To Train Your Dragon 2.  One of the animators made this amazing Toothless cake.  This is a photo of artists, including director Dean DeBlois.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1113 - Longanisa Breakfast - 06.08.14

This morning my son made a tasty Filipino breakfast, longanisa, eggs and rice.  Yum.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1112 - Fish Market - 06.07.14

Today we went to Seafood City in Eagle Rock.  It is a Filipino grocery store.  As the name would suggest it has a lot of fish and seafood.  There are several aisles of fish out on ice.  We picked out a milkfish and had them fry it up for us there.  We brought it home an ate it.  It was very good.  These aren't milkfish.  I can't remember for sure what kind of fish these were.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1111 - White Car - 06.06.14

I took this photo of this white car as a sat in my own car this morning.  It was parked right across the street from me.  I really thought I was going to take some other photos at work today, but it ended up being a weird day and I didn't take anything else.  So I have this white car.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1110 - Happy Birthday Keller! - 06.05.14

The theme this week has been to drive to work using an alternate route.  Today I drove down Lake which is more of a residential street that runs parallel to Victory.  I passed this elementary school with this Birthday wish message.  I thought that was kind of special.  I have no idea who Keller is, but I thought it the message was sweet.  It was something I saw today.

Day 1109 - Buchanan Arms - 06.04.14

I again drove in taking a slightly different route this morning.  This time I drove up Burbank Blvd.  This is an English Restaurant and pub that we go to every once in a while.  We call it Buchanan Arms, but you can see that it also has the name The Buchanan above the door.  I think the sign on the roof also says The Buchanan.  I don't know which is correct, but we always refer to it as Buchanan Arms.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1108 - Blue Octopus - 06.03.14

This morning I did not drive my usual route to work.  Today I drove up Magnolia.  I stopped by this scuba diving shot to take this photo.  Even though this only has 4 legs showing, I am assuming it is supposed to be an octopus.  This is something I saw today.

Day 1107 - Messed Up Sunset - 06.02.14

Right off the bat I have to say I am not very happy with this photo.  I have to live with it because it really is all I have for the day.  It is the sun hitting some wispy clouds at the end of the day, but it isn't that interesting.  I've tried finding something interesting in Lightroom, but it all just looks muddy.  Oh well, they can't all be successes.  This was something I saw today.

Day 1106 - Mr. Peabody Bobble Head - 06.01.14

Here is another toy from work.  This is Mr. Peabody.  This is something I saw today.
