In the early 1920s, Jones worked with the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power to custom design the service brass which later became a standard part of the Jones product line. During both World War I and World War II, Jones supplied water, gas and steam valves for the Navy’s battleships and destroyers. In 1926, Jones built it’s first bronze fire hydrant at the request of the Fire Chief of Monrovia, California.
Although Jones was not the first company to market a wet barrel hydrant, it was the first to cast a wet barrel hydrant in bronze. Jones turned the use of bronze into a marketing advantage, selling the product based upon the long term benefits of bronze over iron. For example, the City of Beverly Hills replaced one of the first Jones hydrants (believed to have been installed in 1926) after over 60 years of service.
The Jones bronze wet barrel hydrant remains the preferred fire hydrant in most parts of California.
I was inspired by some Matisse's techniques and decided to try my imagination.

Sometimes you have to play the cards you were dealt. When I was in San Diego shooting a wedding, my wife and I went out to breakfast in San Diego's Gas Lamp District, a great place at night with tons of restaurants, bars and nightlife. Sunday morning at 7 is quite different... there is almost a creepy silence to it.
