RIGHT NOW: The Moment in Photographs
This morning. View from the balcony looking down at the pool at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows in Santa Monica.
Have a fantastic view of the beach as well. Can’t believe they use zambonis to smooth the sand.
At the half-way point in our road trip. Spent the day in Santa Monica, California: a pretty crazy place. Took a long walkabout down the beach, along the pier and by the shops. Major tourist trap but funky.
Took a hike to the top of Runyon Canyon in LA and snapped this pic of the Hollywood Hills. A dreamy view for sure. The haze is the smog.
Cine Gear Expo 2012 was held on the Paramount backlot in Los Angeles and I was in attendance to get my hands on some filmmaking gear and listen to talks in actual screening rooms.
The highlight for me was definitely the setting and knowledgable film folks.
The dunes in Oregon are really cool. Even cooler? Watching a little girl driving her first ATV as her grandpa gives her lessons.
Spent the evening sipping wine, eating an amazing dinner (chicken mattone) and looking at filmmaking memorabilia care of the Francis Ford Coppola winery in Healdsburg California.
Some of the cool things on display? The desk from the Godfather and his collection of awards. First time seeing an Oscar up close.
Stumbled into California late in the evening, staying in Eureka for the night. Not far past Crescent City at the Northern tip of the state, I snapped this shot.
The Oregon coastline is gorgeous and unique throughout the State. Nothing boring about this drive.
