Babycakes Larchmont

Posted on Jan 31, 2013 in photography

I headed up to Babycakes Larchmont in Los Angeles to help Erin and Elizabeth with some photographs for their new pre-packaged baking goods.

It’s a pretty big step for Erin’s business actually. By selling pre-made and packaged Cake mixes she is able to essentially make her business national (international actually) and that means expansion and more potential.

Everyday Erin is signing up more and more re-sellers of these boxes and that is just great news.  I ended up taking quite a few pictures while I was there. Not only did I get pictures of the boxed goods but some of the insane stuff she has created.  She started with cupcakes, moved to cakes, donuts and everything else you could imagine.  Erin has locations in New York, DisneyWorld, Los Angeles and soon to be in Chicago and San Francisco.  The business is booming.

If you want to check out all the images, they are in this gallery – Delicious BabyCakes Photos.  Or feel free to browse a few here.

By air and by land

Posted on Jan 21, 2013 in photography

Tu and I went out for an adventure to the Salton Sea.  Bill and his friend Chris met up with us at the Salton Sea airport which is pretty much just an abandoned patch of land.  We got lots of awesome pictures from the air as well as the ground.  Keep a look out for the great pictures coming up!

Sunset through a storm drain

Posted on Jan 19, 2013 in photography

Kind of scary little storm drain that looks like it goes under the city of La Jolla.  It was covered with graffiti inside and I bet there were homeless people living in there.

Sometimes it’s cool to take a sunset shot from a different vantage point.

R-44 Flight

Posted on Jan 18, 2013 in photography

Here are some snippets of video taken during our epic trip down the coast in the R44.  It was a beautiful flight down at sunset.  It got pretty choppy because the wind was rushing and hitting the camera at about 150mph so it can be hard to control the camera.

365 Day Project

Posted on Jan 17, 2013 in photography

It’s called a 365 day project because you take one photo each day.  It helps you practice photography but more importantly, you can look back at the end of the year and remember what you were doing everyday.

I collected most of my photos from last years 365 day project.  The year flew by but quite a bit happened actually now that I look back on it.

The Point

Posted on Jan 16, 2013 in photography

 

This is Point Loma.  It is the entrance to San Diego Harbor.  The lighthouse shines to keep boats from hitting it when they come into the port during fog or the night.  This photo was taken during the King Tides which are the lowest tides of the year.

So much sea rock is exposed at this time. You will rarely see it like this.

Birds Eye views of San Diego

Posted on Jan 14, 2013 in photography

Off came the doors of the helicopter again and Bill and I went up for sunset shots.  It was gorgeous but freezing.  I wore 5 jackets.  I would have worn more if I had them.

Bill and I are discovering how to take pictures from the Helicopter which can be quite tricky and difficult.  You have to keep in contact with air traffic control everywhere you go in San Diego because large commercial aircraft are always coming in and out of the city.  Then you have to keep your eyes out for other aircraft, helicopters and small planes.  It’s busy work but fun.

Here are some of the better shots that we took and a beautiful sunset.  Another gorgeous winter day in Diego.
