Time with Savannah


How do we love? 
iHow does a mother explain what "time" with a daughter? Is it beach play?

Or do we play role reversal?

To me anytime is fun time, as long as I'm with my Silly Savannah!! :)

How do you capture moments? What moments are worth capturing?

Venice Dreams

                  Venice Beach 
Venice beach...Rich in diversity and culture, as if NYC's the west village was transported to beautiful SoCal beaches!

Today I had the unique opportunity to explore Venice through the eyes of today's youth. A group of teenagers inspired by art activities and culture to cultivate young dreams of "what I will be. When I grow up."

Most adults still seek to answer a similar question. Does art and creativity inspire you? Can exposure to such culture solidify dreams of what may come? I'd like to think yes. Let's for a moment imagine that sayings and experiences help today's youth find their "walk about" into adulthood. Believe that we "adults" might actually impact tomorrow's generation...

1. Peaceful walk from Santa Monica to Venice California.


2. Imagines of meanings to cultivate such hope, peace and inner awareness.



3. Musicians playing with the elements, sing songs of yesterday. 


Perhaps all art is imagined or dreamed to assist the belief that everything and everyone has a meaning. How do you capture today's dreamers? Today's youth? Tomorrow's future?

How to have fun with DIY home photo studios

Lets have fun and take festive pictures.

What we used: a muslin backdrops, holiday lights and a white floor sheet. Then encouraged the kids to play and dance and go some neat shoots. :)
