Usually, I don't like to toot my own horn; however, I've been quietly proud of my Flickr Photo Collection, which as of today, contains 15,252 photos that depict quite a bit of LA's culinary, cultural and architectural landscape. So you can imagine how excited I was when I got an email from Erin Broadley, LA Weekly's Web Editor, telling me that I won the 2009 LA Weekly's Web Award for LA's Best Flickr Pool. It put a big smile on my face. So I thought this would be a great time to share some of my favorite photos with all of you. I'm by no means a professional photographer, but I hope you like seeing LA through my eyes.More ...

There's really no particular one reason why I like these particular photos. Some I like because of the color. Other because of composition or subject matter. All spoke to me in some fashion and hopefully, some of them did the same for you. If you'd like to take a look at more of my photos, click here!
