Portrait of a Bookstore

All the way at Studio City, this place almost didn't make it to the album. We tried
to get there 2 times in the last 2 days, but heavy rains, and failing light kept us
away. Today, we finally got the shot. It was a crazy crowd there, and though we
stood in the line, it was pouring, and we aborted the coffee attempt. Got the
shot though.

The Bourgeois Pig

Yep, this is a coffee shop. A rather interesting name, eh? The inside looked just as interesting but we didnt go in. We drove over 50 miles in the rain to get there and as soon as we did, nature gave me a call. Gave H just enough time to take this shot.

A cliche

Yeah, we know this is a cliche. :) We didnt want to do it initially but considering we go there almost everyday, its only fair that it be there in our list. I am still getting used to American coffee though. For me, nothing better than my mom's coffee.

A hot cup of coffee on a cold rainy day. Ah, life. :)

Exotic coffee anyone ?

H took this shot. But I get to write about it. It's next to Sunnin, and on the way to Diddy Riese, which are our two favourite eateries in LA. Not been here, but it looks appealing, especially at night. We took the shot in the day as a night shot would have been hard here. I wish the pole wasn't there in the shot though. Ah well, you got to work with what you got I suppose.

By UCLA

I found this display by UCLA. It's quite possible this shop doesn't sell coffee at all.
But I didn't have time to look. I was blocking traffic, and I took the picture and got
out of there. Besides, I was skipping the lunch hour at work, and didn't have too
much of time anyway.

If you look in the center, you will see the stupid dust bunny. I am too damn lazy to
get it out of there.

Also, D100 has a battery recall notice. I see a hiatus coming up. I hope to take a
few pictures as reserve to keep this project going.

Peet's Joint at Westwood

I took this picture skipping lunch. It's only about 2 miles from work, but going there and getting back took the better part of the hour. Traffic on Santa Monica sucks. And the construction has been going on for ever.

I also have a massive dust bunny on my camera. I need to take a few shots with the camera as a reserve before I turn it in for cleaning or else I am screwed.

Bah...

Diedrich of Malibu

Rashmi first mentioned that someone died rich. It turned out to be this coffee shop named after some German guy that started it. Anyway, this joint we found in Malibu, on the way back from the temple isn't really worth going to. The coffee there is so-so, and the eggnog latte is crappy. Heck, why bitch. It gave me a nice shot to start off the new theme for the week !
