The Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, CA took on a more sinister name when people began to leap from the 150 foot bridge to their death. Within a decade of its construction in 1913, locals had begun to call it the "Suicide Bridge.” Legends began to abound that the bridge was haunted by those unfortunate souls.

All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger, it's impossible, but calculating risk and acting decisively ~ Niccolo Machiavelli

I had a my "shot" for the day. I persuaded others to allow me to shoot on a heliopad in Los Angeles. Very pleased with my results. Unfortunately not all things go as plan, as I am with my father in the ER for the 4 x in one week. This picture is taken with my iphone in the waiting room knowing that I won't have enuf time to get home tonight to post my desired pic..and so are the challenges of 365. thanks to camera phones to keep me in the game.

While my eye for the "next shot" never materialized today, I found an ugly print hanging in a hallway of a senior citizen center (home). I hesitantly zoomed in on one portion of the print, shot it with my iPhone. Posterizing seemed to be the only thing to "save" this image since it was hideously pathetic, and now I am thinking about going into the screen print business.

Dad's back in the hospital again. Second time in three days..... I'm real concerned. Life in precious, yet the seasons change and trees shed their leaves to make way for new growth. This picture is meant for me to embrace the old growth and remember the beauty it has brought during its season.
Spent the day traveling from LA to Sacramento to San Jose. Missing my family and time spent with Dad.

Spending the day ensuring family is well cared for. Only a burst blood vessel in the eye. Illumination and sight is a wonderful sense.

Bob lives in a tent in a flood channel in Long Beach, CA. All he wishes to do is spread joy as he waves to passing cars on PCH. "He's not sorry for the things he's done."

While driving through Dogtown in Los Angeles I was remembered a thought written by Jean-Paul Sartre when I took this picture: Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Depression, untreated can bring down and entire life's happiness and wash down the sink all the good things from the past and all the good things in the future if not addressed.

Mental sludge, and the nay-sayers (better categorized as the dregs of of the Earth), can overwhelm ones desires for goal attainment...This is a drain that I walk past every day to my office, and yet I just ignore it, just as I try to ignore the nay-sayers and self imposed sloth within me.

J.P. Sartre wrote: "Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth." I find this pertinent as I am already struggling with posting a picture every day for a year.

The absurdity of life; man is placed on this earth only to die. I prefer to celebrate life with all its textures and colors and to let the leaves fall where they may.
Peter Braden Thank you for sharing your love of life. You will be missed.
