Goodbye Ron!

Today was my friend Ron's last day in Los Angeles, and he wanted to see Long Beach, where he used to live. This is his last-day portrait outside of Engine Company Number 8 in Belmont Shores.

And this is my self-portrait, also outside of Engine Company Number 8 in Belmont Shores.

Look at these great parking meter "shadows" they have painted on the sidewalks there.

I thought this billboard was interesting. It's a collage of junk found in Long Beach on August 20, 2005.

Long Beach is a very artsy community, in a way that the rest of Los Angeles isn't.


Goodbye, Ron. Hope you had a safe trip back to Ft. Lauderdale. I'll miss you. No rattin'!

Thanks for the picture. I left California about six years ago after leaving there for about 20 years on and off. I never thought of Long Beach as an "artsy" town. But all things do change I guess.

Interesting billboard. I just hope it's worked in making people realise that they need to take their litter along with themselves. People just don't learn!
