There he was: tall, dark, and handsome with 2 tickets to a great escape. They needed to disappear, that’s about the extent of what they had in common. Traded in her old aspirations for the adventure of a lifetime, for better or for worse; life on the run.
Any photographer knows that the right light can make or break the picture. Outside of the studio, it’s nearly impossible to stay in control of focus, color, & bounce lighting– Especially when you throw unexpected environmental changes into the mix. – Photos by Sweet California Light – I don’t really call myself a photographer, but I’ve always loved pictures; […]
“I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been uplinked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal […]
I’ve only been living in Los Angeles for 2 months and although I still have plenty to see, it’s safe to say I’ve made a major dent in my exploration of the wild west. Let’s see…

Now firmly planted in my mid-twenties, I waver on my principles less and follow my heart first. I never cared for politics. And I’m not alone. There’s a paradigm-shift happening throughout Generation Z. The price of progress is often growing pains. We want meaning, growth and gratification for our work or, better yet, as our work. […]
If the hoodie-and-jeans combo is the unofficial techie uniform, the long-sleeved sweater dress is it’s cute, feminine counterpart. I wasn’t really seeking a long-sleeved sweater dress to add to my wardrobe, but when I stumbled upon the Inspire The World Sweater Dress from Rare Breed Apparel, I knew right away that I had to have it. I […]
If nothing else, today’s look is a testament to my affinity for neutrals, minimalism, and triangles (also the favorite shape of one alt-J.)
