  An alley and the drum circle at twilight on an October Sunday in Venice

About 15 minutes after I snapped this image, LAPD had to call in reinforcements to disperse some unruly drumcirclers who apparently didn't want to stop the party. More info and pics at YoVenice

Jerry Brown in The City of Angels

I spent an hour recently (before whore-gate) with Jerry Brown as he walked around Staples Center and LA Live shaking hands and giving brief interviews with some press. He paused to talk on his mobile phone right next to a model dressed as an angel during a party held by the Los Angeles Mexican Consulate. I was the only still photographer there, and he noticed me snapping some photos so he stepped away from the "angel", leading to this image a few minutes later as one of his aides and a security man stood by. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/09/us/politics/09brown.html

And of course there was a Hollywood moment as Brown had a brief exchange at Staples Center with "The Golden Boy " , retired boxer Oscar De La Hoya
