My West Coast :: Someone Died Here
There have only been two times in my life that I’ve been close to death. This spot was one of them. On my way in to lunch one day, I saw all these police cars crowded around this area. I asked the bartender about and he said a homeless man was found killed in the [...]
My West Coast :: Oak Street Building
This is the back of the building where my studio is. Is kind of harsh and ugly building, so a little soft focus makes it seem more dreamy. Opening is tonight! Visit OFFICE’s website for details.
