Johnny is a knife sharpening guy up in Altadena that I met yesterday. These are knives that people from the neighborhood are bringing him found in the ruins of their homes that he is expertly reconditioning. Patronize this business, details in the comments. #altadena #eatonfire #losangeles

My portraits of pianist, improviser, and composer Vicki Ray. Check out her performance tomorrow night of two new large-scale works by composers Taylor Brook and Thomas Meadowcroft at Colburn School in DTLA across from Disney Hall. 🎹#photography #pianist #losangeles
