Sun Spotted - Santa Monica Pier
85 photos
LA.com's Sun Spotted series takes you to the Santa Monica Pier where the reflective (read: introspective) and the reflective (read: pale) enjoyed the holiday sun over the 2009 Memorial Day weekend.
Just north of the the mini amusement park you can pay your respects at Arlington West -- a temporary memorial created every Sunday from sunrise to sunset by the organization, Veterans For Peace.
Visually and emotionally powerful, Arlington West offers visitors a graceful place to ponder the atrocities of war while ogling nearly naked women, giant dogs and our eco-friendly ferris wheel.

Coachella 2009 - Morrissey
16 photos
April 17, 2009 (Moz Sounding Marvelous) On Day 1 of the Coachella Music & Arts festival in Indio, CA, former Smiths frontman Morrissey got sweaty and semi-spanish speaking with the desert folk. The "charming man" then took his off his shirt and pranced around. In a moody way. Suspiciously, my camera stopped working at that very moment. ;)

Taxpayer Tea Party / Anti-Obama Rally
24 photos
April 15, 2009 -- Organized to coincide with U.S. Tax Day, conservative protesters staged "taxpayer tea parties" yesterday in over 700 American cities -- their own version of the 1773 Boston Tea Party which helped lead to the American Revolution.
At the top of the Santa Monica Pier, on the corner of Colorado Ave and Ocean Ave, a group of at least 100 hundred demonstrators spent hours waving American flags and signs with statements like "An Obama Nation is An Abomination," "Obama Spoke, Now You're Broke," and "No! To Higher Taxes," while others drove by and blew their horns in support.
