Neighbor Elliot Gold Has a Photographic Secret
But he just let it out of the bag! Here’s an email from him about his days as a motorcycle club photographer. As a fellow shutterbug, I love this!
Folks
Some of you know this about me, but most don’t.
Before Shirley and I got together, I spent nearly two years riding (actually in my MG-B) with the Chosen Few Motor Cycle Club in the Los Angeles area… followed them with my cameras and back and white (Ilford) film.
It was the most incredible experience… a fully integrated (not just race, but economic integration…. drug dealers and arsonists to PhDs and businessmen).
Had a great time, and learned more about life than from any other experience I’ve ever had since.
This past year, several of the Few found me and asked if I’d donate some of my pictures to a project they were working on.
Here’s how you can view my pictures:
1. Go to http://www.chosenfewmc.org/
2. Click on ‘Enter”
3. On the Left Hand Side, click on “Few History”
4. About 75% down the page, find “More Chosen Few Historical Pictures - By Elliot ” Camera Man ” Gold” (or just search for “Elliot”)
5. Click on the spark plug on the left hand side
6. Hit the “play” button
7. Watch the pictures
I am honored that they put my pictures up… enjoy!
Elliot “Camera Man” Gold

Looped!
No, not me. The show at Pasadena Playhouse. Here’s a link to my review on Showmag.com. http://showmag.com/ Let’s just say Valerie Harper is amazing.
In my past life I reviewed theatre for about 15 years and now I’m ready to review again, now and then, not the pace I used to. At one point I worked full time and saw three to four plays a week and wrote as many reviews and a weekly column in the Santa Monica Outlook. Yikes. That’s why I can’t stand to rest my arms on armrests any longer. Like nails on a chalkboard. I have to have a sweater or something to pad the surface.
Yet this week I’m also off to see that unsinkable Debbie Reynolds, a former Miss Burbank who used to ride her bicycle around the El Portal and proclaim that one day she would be a movie star, in her one-woman show at El Portal Theatre. The good news is the seats are sold out and I’ll be sitting on a chair!
I’ve also got a couple of friends in the news. Links to them later.

Missed the Heat
And I don’t mean the elections. We just returned from the Big Island and guess we timed it perfectly to miss the horrid heat wave. Unfortunately we couldn’t miss the Lakers dumping the championship in that last game. Did they even show up? Good thing we were enjoying mai tai’s by the surf to ease the pain! (Honestly, basketball is not even on my top 1000 things to do in life. Much happier now that Wimbledon is on.) My favorite part of this Hawaii trip was the two hour hot stone massage, then being on top of a steaming volcano and walking through an old lava tube. Photos to come!
