Take Your Time to Look - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

I get it. It’s the holidays. You are receiving loads of info on gifts to buy on a daily basis.

I get it. Right when you think you’ve got a handle on this year’s shopping list, boom, there comes a black horse that you feel obligated to turn around and do your “due diligence”.

I really do get it, because I’m on the receiving end of it too. Mind you, I also have a full-time life to run. :-)

Part of me wanted to enjoy the joy of the season (in fact, almost all of me :D). And yet, the unsettling energy out there keeps reminding me there’s more to look at.

What further complicates the issue is the the supply chain back log. Think shipment/delivery chaos. Have you experienced a one month delay in receiving something in order? I have.

So, if you are still looking for the pure joy of looking (Yeah, kind of like “window shopping”, but in a virtual way), you have the luxury of doing it.

All you need to do is strolling over here before the last minute of the deadline (you know what I mean) and buy a gift card for someone still on your shopping list. Without breaking a sweat or the stress, you’ll look like a hero. Woohoo! A gift of fine art!

Hello Autumn, the Season of Fruits and Bakery! - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

As nature has decisively shown us the hint, I know my favorite season has arrived.

In my opinion, autumn is the most colorful season of the year (you know I love colors). On top of that, have you noticed that the thought (and the smell thereof) of baking has once again entered our thoughts, while you are munching an abundance of fruits? ;-) At least it did for me, well, metaphorically. :-)

So, I’ve been baking up a storm while I was MIA (my apologies). As much as I want the world to see my “bakery” right now, I’m going to try to hold back my excitement better than this guy:

You know, I’d still need to do a little taste test and the platter that the cake is going to be served in needs some garnish.

Alright, alright, you can’t stand the thought of waiting much longer now that the beans have been spilled? Would you want to be the taste tester? Click here and we’ll talk.

In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the splendor of the fall season. What are you seeing this autumn?

Meeting Wolf of the Sea in Monopoli, Italy - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

How do you know you are traveling off the beaten path? I’d say when you see no one but a solo local person at a little town off of the Adriatic Sea.

Seeing that he was processing fish, probably caught on-site, we stopped. Many words tried to rush out in English. Facing the reality of language barrier, we chose silence.

“Pesce rosso”, he said, eyes still on what his hands were working on.

”Si”. Judging from the obvious color of the fish, we replied.

Out of blue, he raise the red fish to his mouth.

“Lupo di Mare”, he said.

Proud to know what lupo means in English, we quickly responded “Si si si si”. In hindsight, I’m not too sure who he was referring to as the lupo. What do you think?

Throughout our travels, we’ve appreciated a variety of landscapes (see my theory about People Are Landscape). It’s usually the experience with beautiful and/or interesting people that we still remember many years later.

Do you want to take a wild guess on what Monopoli means? Put your thought in the comment below.
