For the last 10 months, self-taught photographer Megan McIsaac has been traveling the West Coast in an RV — a 1977 Toyota “Dolphin” — and gathering portraits of friends and creative types she met along the way. Now settled in Los Angeles, with a Mamiya c330 camera, McIsaac decided to document the community that’s inspired so much of her work: Tumblr.

KCET Post: Bottle Service, in a Bottle

You want a well-crafted cocktail, but you do not have well-crafted patience. We've all been there. Going to a quaint, dimly lit cocktail bar to watch artisan bartenders meticulously mix you a drink is fine on some occasions, but other times you need booze in your mouth ASAP.

Below are two Julia-approved libations so that you can celebrate the way Julia would have done herself, and a special cocktail of our own that we think the eccentric darling of the food world would appreciate. Go ahead — fix your inner Child a drink.
