Can you have a weekend that was both fun and profound? Emotional yet giddy? Dirty hot while tender? Is it possible to see your hometown through brand new eyes, uncovering that city’s secrets with surprise and awe?
Turns out you can. When you’re a lucky man like me, a man who’s been able to extend that guileless magic found in Paris and bring it to LA, well, I guess anything is possible.
Ben and me and his smile 
Ben inside art 
Ben in front of art 
Ben working Angel’s Flight 
Me taking my place 
Ben soaking in the view from the hotel lobby bar 
Ben at the end of a fun day 
A new day, Venice Canals 
When hat brims collide 
Purple fuzz 
Floating dog 
Duck crossing 
Ben against palms 
Pacific Park 
Ben on the left 
Acrobat at sunset 
Ben’s back

Pop-up Burning Man in Venice 
Blue bliss
