Jose Gurria-Cardenas asked me to photograph him for his upcoming show at the Blue Whale on May 7.  “The show is about the phases of my career in particular the last 6 years which is what I have spent in LA , where I feel so many life changing things have happened… The healing aspect is that the music has washed (if not everything) at least the most toxic stuff. I have survived because of my art.”

Nan Rae Brush Painting Class
February 23, 2013

My brush painting teacher and friend Nan Rae has a beautiful Akita named Kita!
I have been brush painting with Nan since June 2012…
I had only seen photos of Kita and her destruction.
But on February 23, I finally meet Kita.
She is too sweet!

Flowers in Pasadena

Today during my lunch I sat in the sun next to these flowers.
What kind of flowers? I don’t know…  But they are pretty flowers.
