#Dancers at #OlveraStreet on an absolutely gorgeous Saturday. This was one of those times I wish I had brought my zoom lens. Lesson learned.

(Repost from 2021 since @haferann likes this picture.) Cancer is the one thing that will mean absolutely nothing to you until it affects someone you love. That was the case when we found out Ann was diagnosed with #kidneycancer over three years ago and it sent our world spinning out of control. But we had a choice: cry about it or get mad and fight back — and fight we did. We remained strong and she battled through it with the help of a team of amazing doctors, specialists, and surgeons. I’m thankful for all of them for the role they played in saving her life and am proud to say that she has been cancer-free for over 4 years. On this #WorldCancerDay, I’m posting this picture to raise awareness for @su2c and the work they do for cancer patients. With their help, maybe one day we can #KissCancerGoodbye for good.

@depechemode are releasing their new album #MementoMori in March and to promote their new single “Ghosts Again,” a cryptic #mural went up in downtown Los Angeles. Aside from the flower arrangements shaped as #angelwings, the only other thing on the wall is a QR code that leads to an Instagram filter which brings the mural to life when scanned (see last shot). In the #FujiInstax shot, I’m wearing my original tour shirt from 1993’s #DevotionalTour — arguably their best. Unfortunately, the sign that had been placed there by @themoderoom and the flower arrangement for Fletch weren’t there when we visited. This mural was our only reason for going to LA today but it turned out to be a 7-mile walking adventure around the town with tons more shots taken. Stay tuned for more in the upcoming days. If you want to check out the mural, it’s near the corner of 8th and Los Angeles streets in the Garment District.

About five years ago @ciclavia in my hometown of Wilmington, CA, I came across this old, weathered sign (second pic) that I thought looked pretty cool. It was hanging from the side of a building on Avalon Boulevard, the Main Street in Wilmington, and looked to be from at least the 1940s or earlier just judging by the fonts used. I took a picture of it and don’t recall posting it anywhere but it recently resurfaced via @timehop so I thought I’d draw it and give it some new life. Part of the fun was having to redraw parts of the “Repairing” portion of the sign that had broken off over the years but I think my knowledge of typefaces came in handy with that. The #palmtrees were added only to give some depth; I didn’t spend much time giving them a lot of detail for that reason. Also, I drew it more proportional as if you were looking at it from eye level instead of looking up. I’m pretty pleased with how this turned out — it took a few nights — and especially glad I took the picture because if you swipe to the last shot from Google Maps, you can see that it has since been removed. I really hope that someone decided to restore it or at the very least take it home as a keepsake of a bygone era.

Sore muscles forced me to take a gym break and go for a 7-mile walk today instead. It was 37° F when I left the house which made for some frosty scenery.

More film shots from around San Francisco. Still have some stuff shot on my phone; deciding which ones to post.

Who is this Dave guy?

The difference between me and you is that you THINK you're funny, and I KNOW I'm funny.

It's probably not true but I love saying that anyway :)

Oh, and I used to be really fat. Visit my weight loss blog and see what happened.
