Readers of Seraphic Secret know that yours truly likes to take long walks around my Los Angeles neighborhood and take pictures of stuff.

Shlepping my Canon SLR is a pain in the neck—literally.  Thus, for the past few years, I’ve been carrying the fine and compact Canon PowerShot .

But recently, I switched the compact for my iPhone. In this way people can reach me—yesterday I spent over 30 minutes on a business call—and I can check Apple’s stock, plus Twitter away. Which I have discovered is not such a great idea unless you relish walking straight into traffic.

Obviously, the reason I carry the iPhone is because of its camera. I’ve been playing around with it for a few weeks and finally have a few pictures I’d like to share.

 

The Hebrew text at the top of the building is from Deuteronomy 16:20: “Justice, Justice, you shall pursue.”

 

The lid to an underground storage tank at a gas station looks like a yarmulke.

 

Spooky motel on South La Cienega Boulevard. It seems to be deserted, but every once in a while I spot a figure darting about the courtyard, perhaps the ghost of Norman Bates.

 

Meet Ava. We've been trading meaningful looks for a few months now. Time to screen “One Touch of Venus” (1948) starring Ava Gardner.

 

Home from my walk, Karen models her new Chanel style ballet flats.
