Santa Monica Noir

A last bump for this. If you like Tarantino and Chinatown, or if you’re worried about the toxic masculinity that’s eating the world, or if you’re trying to follow US events without going crazy, maybe this is for you. How film - or just noir - is the tree to help us see the wood.

Any other PIs using IRB and/or Delvepoint (owned by the same company)? Seems like every few searches return BAD RESULTS and I get billed. I have to open a chat agent and ask for the credit back. Wastes so much time! Is this happening for anyone else?

It’s tripping me out to learn that almond milk was widely used in medieval Europe (13th–15th centuries in particular), was often the basis of sop (a type of bread-thickened soup/porridge), and was valued because it didn’t spoil as quickly as dairy milk.

Every. Single. Time. I do a trial, something comes up that nobody thought would be relevant or an issue at trial. Every. Time. Investigate everything. Ask every question and then ask how they know the answer they gave. And don’t forget to ask “is there anything else to add that I didn’t ask?”

It's not just for cheating spouses! 💔 Other reasons for a surveillance investigation include seeing if a claimant is really as injured as they say, discovering where a judgment debtor goes to work, and staking out a defendant for process service.

I love this 1951 noir, so obviously inspired by the mysterious 1922 murder of Hollywood director William Desmond Taylor. And I didn't know until this day, that my vintage crush was Richard Conte all along... youtu.be/xJ32X2vfXkI?...

Good to be reminded of a timeless investigative lesson: if two pieces of evidence seem to be contradictory it is usually an indicator that one of your assumptions is incorrect. Obvious when you think about it, but sometimes hard to see when it's right in front of you 😉

Some of us who put things off until after the holiday are really having a day of reckoning today, aren't we?

Somehow I think this is the most appropriate display for the last day of the holiday season.

You're still served even if you didn't touch the papers, you threw them on the ground, you chased after the process server and put them on her windshield--or made your kid do it (yeah, that happened once), or she gave them to somebody you live with (who you maybe told to say you weren't there). 😉

I got sick of It's a Wonderful Life (1946) on TV every day in December during the 80s and 90s, but now have an appreciation for it as a Christmas noir. James Stewart goes from bitter to desperate to campy ("MARY!") until the cornball ending. I prefer the Lost Ending: youtu.be/vw89o0afb2A...

After the last several days of surveillance 👁️ and serving papers 📃 I'm looking forward to being at my desk today doing reports and invoices, and starting a new Locate 📍 assignment.

Really happy with how this picture turned out! It feels like a shot ripped out of a classic film noir. I love black and white photography and feel I need to do more of it. #photography
