Today’s Foto Fix reminder for some of us this weekend… it’s time to mow the lawn! Photo taken along the promenade, cliff side above the sea, at Corona Del Mar. ~SueBee

Swinging off in a new direction, I’m interpreting this week’s Photo Challenge, Fresh, with the fresh paint I applied during a recent learn-to-paint-while-drinking-wine class! While I’ve managed to create a few acrylic paintings in recent years, this was my first time teaming the process with wine. I liked it! It was fun! ~SueBee

This week’s photo challenge theme of Express Yourself prompted me to write this post, and upload these photos. As I mentioned in an update to our “About Us” page, Kat moved into her own apartment with her boyfriend, Cam, just a little while back. She’d been gone during her four years of college, and most […]

See? Even cowboys were rushing off and nearly forgetting their mobile phones. 😉 Photo taken at the Gene Autry Museum in Griffith Park. ~SueBee

Today’s Foto Fix was taken in the lower garden area at the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino. I do enjoy reflections, but found this one particularly confusing/intriguing when flipped upside down. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

This week’s Photo Challenge theme of Adventure is demonstrated by a statue I admired at Mount Palomar Winery in Temecula this past weekend. Children heading off on an adventure… what could be better?!! ~SueBee (photo by SueBee) (photo edited in Picasa3)

Was cruising through Hollywood with SueBee, snapping pics of the most unusual looking wall art. Thought this one was really neat! ~Kat (pic by Kat)

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! Work’s been keeping me very busy! I’m very happy to be taking pics and posting again! So, after work a couple days ago, I decided to challenge myself to find unusual textures or patterns to take pictures of in everyday places. I went to the City […]

Today being Memorial Day in the United States, a day to honor our troops from past and present, I chose this photo of “HOPE” taken at the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles. Interpretation is personal as well as universal. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

I spotted this bottle cap while exploring some of the artists’ lofts at the L.A. Brewery Art Walk. I love the splatter of paint and the rust, along with the copper color tone in the background. The combination provides for an artsy looking shot that sums up many of the incredible art pieces I saw […]

While touring the L.A. Brewery Art Walk for the first time, I came across an exhibit that completely left me in awe. The artist loft was filled with giant glowing creatures made of fiber optics, lightbulbs, fabric, and wire. Was definitely inspiring, and I am very much tempted to try and create something similar. Yay […]

A simple display of defiance is the subject of today’s Foto Fix, with a seagull demonstrating that keep off spikes attached to the sculpture were not intended for him! That he’s perched on the flying fish adds just a bit of irony as well. This photo was taken on the pier at Santa Monica Beach, near […]

Today’s Daily Foto Fix was taken this weekend at the Brewery during their wonderful Artwalk. The whimsical area featured is just outside the front door of an artist’s loft/studio. ~SueBee (photo by SueBee)

I love art museums, especially when they highlight contemporary art. This colorful pic of an orange table in front of a painting was taken at the Palm Springs Art Museum. What a fun place…spent hours there! Can’t wait to re-visit! 🙂 ~Kat (pic by Kat)

Wall art is fascinating, time consuming to photograph, and most often, frustrating… frustrating because it’s nearly impossible photographing. Drive by, see it, circle the block, circle the block, honk, honk, circle the block, park, roll down window, wait for cars to pass, wait, wait, or search for a parking spot, search, search~ …. you get […]

Black and white photography can be stunning. The subject speaks in a way that oftentimes color doesn’t allow to be expressed, the color distracting from the image. Some of the most famous pictures, those of Ansel Adams for example, were shot in BW. I haven’t used much BW film over the years, except when I […]

As I wandered along the clifftop pathway, above one of my favorite Pacific Ocean hideaways, I grew fascinated, watching these art students gathered around their teacher. I’d personally taken up the brush just over a year ago, having my first go at painting, using acrylics and an inexpensive, small canvas I’d bought at a local […]

My recent train trip into L.A. had me wandering through several small museums lining the Olvera Street Plaza, one housing a fantastic Dia de Los Muertos art gallery. Day of the Dead is generally known here as a Mexican celebration, so I was surprised to find a Vietnamese exhibit at the Pico House Gallery. Artist […]

We’re lucky! We live in Southern California, which is like having the entire world within one time zone, easy driving distance for an afternoon’s outing. The variety of traditions, cultures, languages, foods (yum!), religions… is incredible. A place I enjoy visiting often for a unique cultural experience (along with their ever-rotating, amazing exhibits), is the […]
