Beautiful Kylee

Since I haven't posted any pictures for the last 2 days I thought I'd post 3 today to make up for it. I think that I've decided to do that from now on if I skip any days. I loved the photo shoot I did with 3 of my favorite children last year. In the next few days I'll post the boys. Today it's Kylee's turn. She's a natural beauty with the most amazing eyes. What a sweetie.

I just love California!

“Watch me at the window from your place on the couch, watch me pretending that I am really looking out. You say 'come here, I can't see you in this light,' but I'm much safer beside the moon tonight. 'Cause when I am a silhouette/ I have no fear, you”

Pink Ocean

I did this Photoshop piece for a video project in school.

But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of ocean.

Tranquility

I think this looks like the perfect spot on a perfect-like day.

Lonely Lamp Post

This is a lamp post at the end of the Santa Monica Pier. It was a perfect day without too many people on the pier that day.

“Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs”

Comfy Reading

I took this photograph from the Santa Monica Pier looking down at the beach. He looked so comfortable with his face in the shade. Now, here's an interesting way to get a suntan

"If you look at the research that's published, it's always 'Research says that such-and-such will happen if you suntan,' and attached to that is usually a demand for more research money. That's how the fear market is created."

Teenage Surfer Boy

This surfer ran to the beach just as the sailboat was in the perfect position. What luck. Sometimes things just work out!
