Day Into Night: Greeting a New Year in Paris

After a hurried holiday breakfast and a few lingering embraces with the rest of our family, my daughter and I headed for the airport and boarded a waiting plane to Paris – traditional Christmas celebrations would have to wait until next year.

L.A. Shorts: Punched Pier

  It’s daybreak on Venice Beach and the sun targets the local pier for a hit of warmth and color.

In a few hours the same sun will bleach the cement […]

Bejeweled
