After two years of ups and downs in California, I am happy to be back on the East coast and living again in the Boston area. Last week, I took the long way home, driving 3,700 miles. I ate at mom and pop diners, took detours for kitchy attractions, slept at truck stops, and took a few photos along the way.

Here are some shots I took of Los Angeles guitarist and bassist Alex Rentumis. Alex is involved in a wide range of projects including writing and recording solo material, Bill and Al’s Acoustic Adventure, Crematorium, The Brian Fox Band, and Trinity Test. Check out Alex Rentumis on Myspace.
