180 Days in LA - Point DumePacked a bag, called off work and headed to Point Dume in Malibu. The beach is big and quiet. I share it with a couple of surfers, a seal and some pelicans. Sea gulls fight over an inedible avocado seed from my lunch bag. Ominous signs indicating “private property” hang from staircases leading down the cliffside. The water is surprisingly warm and the current is powerful. The sky is grey and chilly and beautiful. I walk through the tidepools, finding starfish and crabs.

Welcome to 180 days in LA. This is a modest photo project to chronicle my final 180 days of life in Los Angeles. I’ve been living in LA for 5 years now and am prepping my departure for April 4, 2009. This blog is designed to be part journal, part love letter, part thank you note, part Dear John letter, and part “So long, suckers!”

While there will be at least one picture to correspond to each day, I can guarantee that I won’t update daily.

The project is set to begin on Friday, October 3rd, 2008. My 27th birthday. Please check back then.
