Slider Truck Windowlove

2.9 - A Day, A Photo



Food trucks are not new by any means, but Slidin' Thru started a new wave of food trucks that operate in the L.V.

They serve gourmet burger and pork sliders, and they used social media to spread the word about their food and where they would be posted. Over the past few months other trucks like Slidin' Thru have begun driving around serving more gourmet food. It is the newest craze.

Come get Some!!! Windowlove!!

3 Day Catch-up

2.5 - Sunfire Fixed

I just got my car back from the body shop



It was hit by another car two weeks ago while it was parked in a grocery store parking lot.

At first I wasn't too pissed about it. I was just a minor dent and some scraped paint. Then I started to think about it as I a paying my $500 deductible. Some Asshole hit my car while it was parked and they bloody well knew it. Then the Shithead decided to run off without leave any contact information. Bullshit!!

2.4 - Take Off

Chopper 8 takes off from the Helo pad at the station.




2.3 - Friendly?

Drivers in the L.V. are not even close to friendly nor courteous. See above article

Mechanic Premiere

1.26 - A Day, A Photo



Tonight I had to cover a red carpet premiere of Jason Statham's new film The Mechanic. It was like most red carpets. A lot of self proclaimed celebrities who've never heard of posing for cameras. Too many public relation reps running around asking if you would like to talk to their clients. Also with the usual lineup of cameras not caring about D-list stars just waiting for the real stars to appear. I must also include that Jason Statham performed a stunt as his entrance to the premiere. By stunt I mean he drove a car onto the sidewalk at Planet Hollywood and waved to the crowd.

So I had that going tonight

Snowboard Safety

1.23 - A Day, A Photo



I went snowboarding this past Sunday. I was a bit rusty. When you first start snowboarding there is a degree of fear you have to overcome. As you cut back and forth riding the your edges, there is a split second on each turn were you fear that you may not make the cut and fall possibly hurting yourself. You have to overcome the fear of falling and kick your back leg, let go, and allow your body take control.

So after that you are snowboarding. I also learned that each time you begin a season on your first run you have to lose your fear again. On Sunday, I forgot that. I fell on my first run. I feel hard. Ending up spraining my wrist and hurting my shoulder. I couldn't done worst it I wasn't wearing my helmet. I guess my mother was right

Spider-Man Attacked

The Blair House

1.21 - A Day, A Photo



There's this extended stay motel near my work, and at night it looks like a creepy horror movie set. The lighting is always multiple colors and flickering. Plus the people staying there are shady looking slightly known as prostitutes, and derelicts.

PJ20 Begins

1.19 - A Day, A Photo

Today's post gets two photos



I just received in the mail the first part of Pearl Jam's twentieth anniversary year, known as PJ20.
This is an album of 18 songs collected from live performances between 2003-2010 called Live On Ten Legs.



Just to think that it was 20 years ago that my uncle and I went to the local record store to buy Pearl Jam's Ten on cassette. I still have that tape. It is the only one I've keep from my old cassette collection.

The Ten Club has stated there are to be more releases and surprises throughout the year. I can't wait!!

File Vault

1.17 - A Day, A Photo



This is only a partial view of our massive file footage archive. This vault contains beta tapes, XD discs, and old film converted onto DVDs. I rarely go into this room these days, but sometimes I go in and wonder, "What happens when the server crashes?"

You see, the station no longer archives a hard copy. This is a growing trend in the media industry, and I would hate to see the day any station loses all its digital archive. I'm not going to knock the server based archive. It is much easier to search and find file footage than this older system. I only fear that one day it may all disappear

Palm Tree Sunset

1.16 - A Day, A Photo



Sometimes there are great sunsets in the desert. One of the perks of living in the L.V.

Maybe it is .... ?

Jan 12 - A Day, A Photo



So lately on the Las Vegas Strip, there are street performers walking around on the sidewalks asking for money from tourist for picture taking. Good thing I'm a photojournalist and I don't have to pay. I am going to try to capture more images as the year goes on.

Mindless Shopping

A Day, A Photo - Jan 01

I am starting a photo a day project this year.

Each day I will take at least one photograph and I will try to post that photograph everyday. I am sure I will fail, but I am all down with trying. Here is the first photo.


Also you can follow more of the process on facebook

Limit That Speed

Don't you dare drive 12 mph!!!

Is this really necessary?

This sign is in a neighborhood in the L.V.  My question is how does one calculate going 1/2 mph? Plus I would like to see someone receive a ticket for going 12-15 mph. Ha!!

New Adventures Await

So I got a call from my sister a few days back. Her birthday is coming up and she always wants to come visit me around this time of year. It is great when she comes to visit, but I hate taking days off from work just to hang around the L.V. If I wanted to do that I would call in sick!!

So instead of putting myself through multiple days of agonizingly "trying" to keep her entertained by finding interesting fun things to do in the desert, I decided to suggest an alternative. I simply ask, "Hey, how about instead of visiting each other in our respected locations, we go on a trip domestic or abroad together?" She was thrilled by this idea!!

So now we have to decide where we'd like to go. After making our own favorite lists, we've are looking at two possibilities.

1. New Zealand
2. Ireland, specifically Cashel, Ireland

So what do you think? Comments?? Where should we go?
