Christopher Thomas / Lost In L.A.

Freeway
Echo Park

It's easy to find desolation in Los Angeles, if you get up early enough. It's not a late night town.

I remember the first time I'd ever seen a coyote in person was on Hollywood Boulevard about 4:45 in the morning. It was just walking down the Walk of Fame, not a care in the world.

For about 3 and a half years, between 2008 and 2019, I lived all over Los Angeles County. I've been to every location Christopher Thomas photographs in his series, Lost In L.A., but I've never seen it presented like this. Wonderful stuff and lots more behind those links.


Write now. Edit later.

EnsĹŤ is a writing tool that helps you enter a state of flow.

Basically, you write, and EnsĹŤ only allows you to see the most recent lines you've typed. The previous words become invisible so you're not tempted go back and make changes. The Backspace button on your keyboard works, but the arrows don't. So, if you are tempted to go back, you're deleting, not moving the cursor to make changes.

Done writing? Hit the download button in the top left of the screen and a txt file of what you've written drops into your documents folder. Easy-peasy.

It's free on the web, or there's a pay-for-it app. The only thing missing is a Dark Mode.


Kristan Klimczak's CNE Photos

The Canadian National Exhibition is open 18 days per year at the end of the Toronto summer. Final day for 2024 is today, September 2, Labour Day. Kristan Klimczak is down there right now taking photos of CNE visitors, just as she's done every day it's run since 2015.

The facial expressions on the Ex's visitors and employees pretty much sum up my thoughts of the event, which explains why I haven't been back since 1982. Cement, heat, lack of shade, terrible food, crazy prices, and crowds. It's hard for me to think of any place I'd rather not be. Love the photos, though!
