boxy bear's adventures

Me in front of The Annenberg Space for Photography

i’ve been hearing about The Annenberg Space for Photography and today i finally gave it a visit! The Space is located in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles, and is a gallery of digital and print photography. Admission is free!

The current exhibit is the Pictures of the Year International (until November 1), which showcases the winning photojournalism images. Four themes are exhibited: China (Olympics, Earthquake, Three Gorges Dam), global conflict, the human condition, and the U.S. presidential election & the economy. I must say that the images are very moving, and at times disturbing and disgusting. Although not pleasant, the images convey to us what is going on in different parts of the world that we sometimes only read about, and seeing the photos allows us to better understand those social issues. I highly recommend giving the Space a visit!

happy at happy hour at palomino! yummy

after visiting the Space, i stopped by the happy hour at Palomino for some munchies! they have an awesome happy hour, and my favorite items there are the raspberry mojito, calamari, and Roma style rotisserie chicken pizza. during happy hour, they have drink specials for $4, and half off lots of appetizers (calamari is $6, all pizzas $5). boxy bear loves happy hours, especially ones with great deals and big portions! seems like there are lots of fans of happy hour at Palomino, just check out the reviews on yelp!
