There were no more available pits at the beach so what else were we to use?! The coals for the grill were warm and glowing and provided the necessary heat to toast our marshmallows. Add some chocolate pieces and sandwich it between two graham crackers and there you go! S’mores 🙂
Even though I don’t like eating vegetables, it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy photographing them! Early on a Saturday morning at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market on the Third Street Promenade, each booth had its own collection of fresh produce and flowers, along with other items like cheeses, pistachios, seafood and bread. These were some […]
The choice is in your hands to fight global warming. This is the message being portrayed by artist, Paula Clayton, on the spherical canvas she had to work with. The Cool Globes Exhibition travels throughout the US in order to spread the word about ways to make a change. In LA, there are over 50 […]
Usually when you step into the Anthropologie store on 3rd Street Promenade, the goal is to look for the perfect dress or blouse or cute accessory. Sure, I did that too, but after not finding anything (surprisingly), I started realizing my surroundings and discovered the beauty and true creativity of the interior design of the […]
Visible from the highway, the name of this waterfall comes from a Pacific Northwest Native American word for “most beautiful”.

As we lie on the sand, soaking in the sun, this man pushed his cart by us, asking if we wanted any of the products he was selling. We politely said no, and he continued on his way along the beach. His umbrella was colorful and his backdrop of the beautiful beach went together nicely. […]
At our hostel in Monteverde, the common area’s entrance was a wooden door with this lock on it. Monteverde was a beautiful area, filled with greenery and blue skies, and our hostel was overlooking all of it. Through these doors, we were able to see the views of the mountains, especially when it was pouring […]
A self (group)-portrait of sorts, our excitement clearly showed in the reflection on the balloon we had. This was a fun picture and after many takes, we got a variety of different poses and angles. Surrounded by all the other colored, solid balloons, this mylar balloon certainly stood out. Good times!
A family graduation party would not be complete without food, food and more food! Trays of mostly Vietnamese/Chinese food like fried shrimp balls, shrimp and tofu stir fry, pork slices, egg rolls and rice paper wrapped ground pork, among many more items filled the tables we set up for food. Guests (including myself) came back […]
