The Seagull Poses

Finally, a bird didn't fly away just as I am about to click the shutter.  I am amazed this seagull didn't ask me to sign a release. 

Malibu Library Re-read

...the heart of every community...our newly-renovated library. ...two community members, an award-winning director (nee paddle boarder) and her friend.  He was rumored to have been acting as crossing guard, when needed. 

 The teens section with surfboards floating overhead (only in their dreams) while they study. 

 ...and, for the little ones, soft spaces for reading or small-sized seating for their computers. 



Divine Deli, er...Gourmet Market

 Were we in Paris?  Nope.  It was 700 South Grand Avenue, in downtown Los Angeles. And, it was part of the restaurant called BOTTEGA LOUIE.   



Filming the Pianists

Imagine how beautiful it is for me to be in the same studio with my two friends, Marilyn Sands and Christine Weiss as they played?  This is the third time I have had the privilege of being their videographer.

The Old Mission

The old mission called San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, 5th of the 21,  is one of the few I had never visited. 

.

 Being a California girl, we studied and visited the missions in the fifth grade.

We were both surprised at how clean and well-cared-for it is, after all these years. 

Moon over Malibu

Easter Morning 2012



Little did I know, when awakening before the sun came up, that I would capture the moon reflected in the tide pool. 

Bottega Louie

Having lunch in downtown Los Angeles with my friends was an event.  I am saluting the house speciality,  portobello fries.  

We watched as the artichoke, chevre and mozzarella were included on the pizza. 

No one was safe from the camera! 

The discreet signage didn't reveal the vibrant experience waiting inside.
