Los Angeles, a city synonymous with creativity and diversity, is a haven for photographers seeking to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary. As someone who's always been captivated by the intersection of art and culture, I was beyond excited to attend the StreetMeetLA photography meetup, where models and performers dressed in captivating costumes come together with photographers to create a visual spectacle. This unique event not only offers a platform for photographers to hone their skills but also provides models with stunning portfolio shots. Here's a glimpse into my experience at this remarkable event.

California has finally allowed the theme parks to re-open after COVID-19 as of April 1st, and no, that isn’t an April Fools joke. That means that Six Flags Magic Mountain gets to open again! We have been paying our monthly membership fee for over a year now without having access to the park, other than a couple drive-through events that they have put on for the holidays. So, needless to say, we were excited to get back to the roller coasters so we made a reservation for Sunday, April 4th. This blog will tell you what it was like to be back in the park after the pandemic.

Drone pilots in Los Angeles have a lot of options for beautiful locations to capture some really amazing scenery. The pier in Redondo Beach is one of those great spots, especially in the golden hour light just before sunset.

San Diego has always been one of our regular locations to fly for the $100 hamburger but COVID-19 has put a damper on that. Since San Diego opened their restaurants for outdoor dining before Los Angeles, it was time to get back to Phil’s for some long overdue BBQ. I know that I have probably said this a million times but general aviation flying in southern California is hard to beat.

I love hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains! And now, after hiking to Eagle Rock from Topanga State Park, I can't believe that it has taken me so long to hike it. It is a hike that is doable for almost anyone as it is 4.5 miles on a roundtrip loop and only about 800 feet in elevation gain. Once at the rock, there is so much to explore, even some hidden caves that are a perfect place to relax and have a picnic.

An afternoon on the Palos Verdes peninsula is not a bad way to spend some time – spending it at the Point Vicente Lighthouse is even better! A friend recently got a new drone so we made our way out there to test it out and get some aerial footage of the dramatic cliff-lined coastline. I have driven this section of Palos Verdes many times and it never gets old. If you haven’t been out to PV (Palos Verdes or Pointe Vicente) in a while, make some time and go.

There is no question that Laguna Beach has some of the best beaches in California. However, there is one hidden beach that lies between Crescent Bay and Shaws Cove that just may take the top spot and have me re-think my list of favorite beaches in Laguna. Twin Points has everything you could ever want in a perfect beach – tide pools, crystal-clear water and even a tide-filled soaking pool. Although it is not private, if you catch it at the right time, it can feel like you have your own private piece of paradise.

I never knew I had an addiction to deserted, incredibly straight roads through nothingness until I drove through the high desert of California.

The Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes lie in the heart of Death Valley National Park. The harshness of the desert valley is briefly interrupted by the soft sands that make up Mesquite Flat.
