Today was yet another installment in CicLAvia - this time a 3.5 mile segment of Wilshire. I was a little unsure about going, but ended up leaving my place a little after 8 to get there a bit before the official event started. For the most part, it was fine, although there was a run from earlier still finishing up. Because I both had a bunch of stuff to do (See: Burning Man) and it was hot, I ended up doing the whole route 2 times, plus a little more before heading out. This was definitely one of my shorter CicLAvia visits at a bit over 2 hours, but I'm glad I could still visit for a bit!!
I tried to not take many pictures, which to other still probably looks like tons of photos. What can I say though, I love CicLAvia! At one point I was talking to a CicLAvia volunteer who asked "How's your day going?" to which I had to reply "I'm at CicLAvia, of course it's great!"
this was when I first passed the rack around 9am... by the last time I passed it at 11ish, it was nearly empty. The downside was that I had more than one near incident with people on these bikes... I suspect some people on them were pretty inexperienced...
Today I spent some time developing more film from Burning Man & looking at some digital photos as motivation! So much to do!
posts of analog cameras like this were posted all around the one side of the trash fence...
360 view in deep playa... love that peacefulness, even with so many people nearby...
While walking by the Grilled Cheese Incident Camp, I was called over by someone at the grill and offered a nice, warm grilled cheese sandwich. How could I resist? As it turned out, I got the honor of having what was the first of many delicious sandwiches served up by this camp in 2015 :)
& a tiny taste of the inside of the Totem of Confessions... this place is by far one of those things that must be experienced to full appreciate the amount of detail and work that goes into something like this.
Waiting for Daft Punk at the trash fence. BELIEVE!!!

Thing have been super busy for me, and honestly, will continue to be busy for a little while! Wednesday was especially a little crazy including finally getting a Burning Man ticket (and then quickly having everything else fall into place including EA pass and a ride... I also have a spot in center camp again this year for photos!) Posts will be spotty and random, which I wish wasn't the case, but hey, sometimes life gets a little busy!
I shot these photos with my instax Neo Classic while walking to work in various places on Wednesday...
