Accordéoniste Albert Béhar Le Baroc'

I received an email from my Aunt that while in Paris I must go too see...

Albert was Fantastic and so wonderful to see he is following his love of music and French Accordéon... note the buttons, not a keyboard on the end ( Yes, I learned something !)

Check out his site

Whannnn Waaaaaannnnnnn..... Winter Garden Lost the prize!

We I am sad to say that the winter garden did not do as well as I had hoped..... (although my expectations were pretty high from that summer crop) We did enjoy some Greens and Broccoli ...no lettuce or carrots or beets or brussel sprouts or cauliflower or celery but there is hope for some Fava beans and Leeks and maybe artichoke :-)

The summer has just been to hot here in LA and the garden gets more sun that we expected...so it just never got the chance to get going in all the heat (that most likely why summer did so well)

and I am not making excuses but the wind storms did knock out the power and that made issue with the water timer as well

We learned something though and isn't that the point ...right :-) Next year we try again with the knowledge that we now know

Hanging out with the View

Here is something I recently learned, and  excited to make and share

Hope you enjoy :-)

Love the Song "Hayling" by FC Kahuna on the album "Machine Says Yes" (available on itunes) 

Patrice found this and we have been non-stop listening

On the next one I felt the sky was Drama enough, I left music up to the viewers discretion :-)

Although I am up for suggestions:-) What do you think? I wondered if my friend Kris' latest obsession with Dj Skrillex might work or something from  Yelle Djs

or something classical works as well like Mozart ,Wind Concertos

Love the possibilities and to hear what you think :-)

8x10 Sepia Polaroid Patrice

I photographed Patrice in his new suit. As I photographed these I thought how sad it was I did have my 8x10 polaroid anymore... so I recreated what I enjoyed from shooting 8x10 from my digital files..Like a really detailed personal instagram.....How do you think I did ?:-)

ok 1 more I liked :-)

Fun with Christina and Liz

Christina  and Liz came over the other day and we had some fun shooting pictures

 Christina is a hair and make-up artist with AIM Artist who recently moved out to LA and  is  just so much fun
 (We've worked together on Lands End:-)) 

Liz is a beautiful model and actress 

Check Out these Bee's :-)

They are amazing!!!! 

Today Andrew stopped by to check up on things and could not believe how well the bees are doing! The hive is growing strong and fast so we added a box to the top to give them more room to expand. If things keep going we might have honey by April!

Just Amazing!!!!

Maui was so refreshing visually, I couldn't help but shoot some scenics. The light the colors , so different from other places in the world. Its amazing to realize how it affects your mental perception of life:-)...How about my color shift Palms..Like Miami Vice huh

Maui 2012 Insta-spired

Last Day in Maui and what a Great Job this year.....I can honestly say so much to photograph and so little time. One thing I really enjoyed was getting back on my instagram account.
Hawaii really inspired me with its colors and light ...but it was fun to look thru images and filters remembering the Fabulous pictures my Grandparents had in there photo albums from here.
