Beatles over Fairfax (2011)

These ipod billboards have blanketed Los Angeles this winter. The photo offers something beautiful yet haunting. It makes me want to vacation at The Mirage.

Melrose @ Spaulding (2011)

I saw this advert before an audition, and it calmed me; it doesn't get more L.A. than that.

This joke never gets old. Is it just me, or did Ben Stiller get botox?

Melrose @ Martel (2011)

I can't wait to see the lady (or man) who is brave enough to buy this and wear it in public (in a non-ironic fashion).

Robertson @ Beverly Blvd. (2011)

For most of the year, this billboard just north of Beverly is occupied by Banana Republic. Some seasons, if I wake early on the right day, I see the old advert being replaced by the new. There's something magical yet melancholy about that process.
