'The Festival of the Chariots', Venice Beach
The festival celebrates Lord Jagannatha, the Lord of the Universe,
and is put on by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
The Festival of the Chariots is now performed in every country across the world and dates back thousands of years to Jagannatha Puri, India.
Hare Krishna
I shot August 2nd at the annual,
'Festival of the Chariots' in Venice Beach.
The Hare Krishna have been a subject of my photography for the last 4 years. I originally composed a two part photo essay while living in Urbana, IL, on the Urbana Chapter of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Here are two links to that piece: part 1 http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/news/03-07/news1081.htm , part 2 http://www.harekrsna.com/sun/news/03-07/news1092.htm .
Those links didn't work, but the addresses should. I'll fix it later, promise.
Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques are appreciated.

"Just call my name, and I'll be there"
Images taken in the streets outside the Staples Center during the 'Michael Jackson Memorial Service' in LA on July 7, 2009.
This is the first batch of images that I shot from Michael Jackson's Memorial Service at the Staples Center. I was not able to get tickets, but was not disappointed by the turn-out in the streets. All around the Staples Center people were dancing, laughing, singing, cheering, crying, and hugging. The King of pop is dead and people showed up to celebrate his life, with or without tickets.

Schindler's Geometry
Rudolph Schindler was an Austrian-born architect who worked in Los Angeles during the mid-twentieth century building interesting, innovative, cost-efficient homes. He is associated with the modern movement in architecture. The home I photographed today was one of his rarely published creations, the Buck House, 1934. It was ripe with lines, shapes, light, minimal accents, and moving boxes. The Buck House is located just one block south of the Los Angeles County Art Museum, appropriately.

'Let me put on my face'
Star Education theater students performed their end of the year extravaganza, 'The Wizard of Star', a punk rock musical, yesterday at Overland Elementary in West Los Angeles. I, being the non-profit's official documentarian, was there with cameras loaded. These shots were taken before the show when the cast was putting on their costumes and practicing their lines, dances and attitude. As always, I had a great time. It's hard not to at these happenings.
I'm working on putting together a final selection of photos I've shot for the organization over the entire school year; there may even be a show! Yee-who!
Please let me know if any of these images impress or remain with you for longer than expected. I need more eyes and brains than were originally provided to me. What can you do?
Hi ho!

ROCKSTAR Music Education
Battle of the Bands
at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip, Hollywood, CA.
Star Education's ROCKSTAR music education program
held a battle of the bands for over 35 of the
rock bands the organization has helped to found and educate
from all over Los Angeles. The rockstars were all under
13 years old and played original as well as cover songs.
I will try and compile a list of all the self-titled bands
when I have some extra time; here are a few for now:
Better Than Beethoven, Rockin' Goldfish, the Bouncing Stones,
Jumbo Shrimp, and the Furious Forks.
