Everyone’s a film start here in LA including the guy on the stairs here, take a closer look at him getting his publicity photos ready for the big push into film land. He’s wasted in the building trade. He has the look of Bruce Springsteen, and I bet he’s in a tribute band. Rock on!

For the time being though, the star of this picture is the building and not the builder.

I had no idea that this guy was doing this when I took the picture.

Americans seem to have no shame about eating out of a bucket with their fingers. I’m all for informality but not on this scale. They even design their food emporia to look like a bucket, as witnessed in this shot taken in L A in January.

They’ve exported the idea to us and KFC is rarely seen being eaten with a knife and fork. How long before the trend to silver service returns? A long wait I fear.

From my now not so recent trip to L A. This taken on Christmas Day. Marijuana is legal in California, and you can get it delivered to the door. Not my cup of tea, cups of tea being my cup of tea.
