Hollywood in 2004
From downtown L.A. to the tourist lined sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard, the trip we took to California in 2004 left a lasting impression. For links to more of my original photo sets and edits, check out the California 2004 tab here.

Featured Posts: Volume 1
My portfolio at fandrix.com has been in swing for nearly a month now, and I thought it would be worthwhile to draw attention to my first round of featured blog posts. The goal with this page (and the basis for the design of the entire portfolio for that matter) has been to rotate content on a semi-regular basis. This is just a reminder to see what made the cut this first round. Visit my Featured Blog Post page to explore the links, and stay tuned for the next volume.

Roger Ebert Memoir and Autograph
Back in October my friend Tyler discovered that Roger Ebert's new memoir, Life Itself was selling online and that he was going to sign and personalize each copy purchased over the week from this one particular book store. Having been a long time fan of watching Ebert and Roeper every Sunday night while in film school, I was easily convinced that it would be a cool souvenir and an interesting read.
Tyler hadn't been able to place his order in time, but I purchased it for him to give to him at Christmas. What makes this notable however, is that Roger Ebert personalized Tyler's book with a nickname that I regularly call him. It made the gift that much more unique (and hilarious) when he opened it and realized that Ebert had actually written "For Ty@@" (AKA Ty Tits) on the inside cover. We naturally had a good laugh about it (but maybe Tyler was just crying on the inside). Anyway, the ridiculousness seemed absolutely appropriate for a friend with a strange taste in autographs (really Suzanne Somers?) and bad jokes. If you can find anything at Tyler's place that he hasn't signed it's worth a fortune.
I've yet to read the memoir, but I hope to get just as much enjoyment out of what looks to be a really interesting collection of stories. As someone who writes about himself on a regular basis, this should provide some welcome inspiration.
