On Saturday Chinatown hosted the 112th Golden Dragon Parade to celebrate the chinese new year. It’s the first time I get the chance to photograph the great colored costumes that take part of the parade. The parade is a tradition in Los Angeles and it’s a great opportunity to do fun photos. Here are just a few photos. For more visit the Flickr set
Great costumes and colorful make up.

Take a walk around Wilshire Boulevard on a Sunday afternoon and it would seem as if you just took a blast to the past. Art Decó buildings surround the area and diners that were left intact as the day they opened. Enter Callahan’s Diner on Wilshire Blvd and 12th and you are in 1930′s again. The diner gives out a particular ambiance seen in many Noir movies and even the waitress might reminds you of some classic diner scene; perhaps one filmed there. Nothing much changed at Callahan’s; they still use the original register and vinyl booths.

In March 2007 photojournalist James Nachtwey won a TED Prize of $100,000 and one wish to change the world. Nachtwey used the money to document a project that he says has been hidden from public. Today his story is being unveiled in a massive way. The photos will be projected in 50 cities around the world starting October 3rd including on the jumbo screen in Times Square in New York. Here’s other locations where the story will be projected.
Great coverage by The New York Times photographers of the Democrat and Republican Convention with audio commentary by the photographers.
