Stay tuned. Coming up next is…! May 1, 2015. About past time I write something new here. But when I’m not at the Café Pasadena, you may find me taking in the view at Pasadena Views. Or cruising Colorado Boulevard. This happy new year has been relatively busier new year for me. You? The Pasadena political campaign season didn’t help with my more R and R new years resolution. Oh yeah, I’ve been also assisting my tireless friend and blog mother Jill the wonderful founder of the Pasadena Politics. Artist Bar...

Still The One | Cafe Pasadena
https://cafepasadena.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/still-the-one
November 27, 2011. We’ve heard a bunch about the hassles and problems to bring football back to L.A. ever since the St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders left town for better pastures last century. Outsiders wonder why L.A. doesn’t have a new football team by now. Doesn’t L.A. care? Don’t they miss football? 160; I barely noticed, since I haven’t missed any great football. Gotta Catch a Ride! Stay Thirsty My Friends. This entry was posted in Community. And tagged Before and After. A Pasadena Work of Art.

Tournament of Roses Royal Court 2013. October 25, 2012. The 2013 Queen of the Tournament of Roses (ToR) was selected last week which was a subliminal kick in the rear to me to either write this up, or wait ‘til next year!

So lemme talk just a little about the event announcing the Royal Court. Therefore, now a. An intro...

Paolo Focardi Photography: Batman is back in town!
http://pfocardi.blogspot.com/2009/06/batman-is-back-in-town.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Batman is back in town! I had the idea of shooting a superhero in downtown LA a couple of weeks ago. When I proposed the idea to Jones and Erin they immediately liked it and they also happened to have the prefect outfits so.it was a done deal from the beginning. Batman and Catwoman back to Gotham City.humm.I mean, LA. So I started scouting for locations and, as you can imagine, in Los Angeles you only have to choose! In postprocessing I used sodium vapor WB with the green slider al...

Paolo Focardi Photography: Pasadena Civic Ballet
http://pfocardi.blogspot.com/2009/12/pasadena-civic-ballet.html
Wednesday, December 2, 2009. Just a quick post to say that I recently shot an event at the Pasadena Civic Ballet where young and very young dancers enjoyed performing in front of a numerous audience. Some of them were at their first performance, others, like my friend Silvia here in this photo, despite the young age were seniors. All of them were extremely good. Good luck to all the dancers and keep up the good work, I look forward to enjoying your next performance! See full post and comments.
