Today’s Snapshot: The Camp in Costa Mesa

The_camp_1

The Camp is in Costa Mesa, right across from The Lab and down the street from prim South Coast Plaza. The Lab and The Camp are alternative shopping centers that both brandish their own distinctive personalities.

Retail cousins, The Camp is like the Phish-loving, organic cotton-wearing one that is always trying to get The Lab to go hiking. But The Lab is always too hung over to get up that early and far too pale to spend that much time outdoors.

I like The Camp, and if you are into vegetarian clothes, raw foods, and serenity, you will too.




Today’s Snapshot: Orange Park Acres in the Morning

Opa

I love Orange Park Acres.

I took this photo outside my friend Ericka’s house one morning. Seeing this horse up in the sky reminded me of the Rickie Lee Jones song, Horses.

“That’s the way it’s gonna be, little darlin’

we’ll go riding on the horses, yeah

way up in the sky, little darlin’

if you fall I’ll pick you up, pick you up”

Tonight at the OC Roller Girls’ practice.

Snapped this photo while interviewing one of the girls for my story for the OC Register on OC’s Roller Derby League.

I love it because it shows the energy and fast pulse of the sport. I also like the dash of pink–screams GIRLS RULE!

For Friday Photo Finish Fiesta!

Today’s Snapshot: Welcome to Wonderland

Welcome_to_wonderland

As you can plainly see, I’ve changed the name of my blog to “Alive in Wonderland.” It will still be me writing, making videos, and posting my marginal photography everyday. I’m going to be adding some more Orange County elements like blog rolls and links, but basically, you will still be getting the same nonsense you have come to expect from me.

If you have an Orange County blog, please email me and I will be happy to add you to my OC blog roll. You can reach me through my refreshed “About Me.”

Thanks for continuing to read me!

Note: If you use Google Reader, you will have to go in “feed settings” and then rename the subscription. Bloglines automatically did this. Not sure why Google is being so difficult. It just thinks it’s sooooo special.
