Descanso Gardens in April...

 The beauty hits your eyes in every direction.  I was in heaven!

Easter 2022 Hike in Malibu

 Malibu Canyon was extra gorgeous today.  Best church in the world!

SAG Workshop

 What a bunch of pros!  Had a fun SAG event where I taught script breakdown for animation acting.

A magical night at Joce and Zach's house

 What a perfect night!  85 degrees, views to die for and three different bands playing.  Super fun way to spend a Friday night.

Record Wyatt Allen April 8, 2022

 I've known Wyatt for many years so it was extra fun to make a demo with him.  He's got chops!

Recording Jazz Madison's demo

 What a fun afternoon recording Jazz.  Her voice is gorgeous and she was quite the pro in the studio.

Recording remotely New Jersey to L.A.

 Recording Rebecca Ryann's animation demo remotely.  I was at home on zoom, Kevin recorded her from his house using Source Connect and Rebecca is in New Jersey.  I love the modern age!

And I got flowers!  What a classy chick Rebecca and her mom are.  They sent me flowers to celebrate us recording Rebecca's demo:

And Rebecca's parents threw her a VO Recording Day surprise party.  I love this so much! 

Placerita Canyon walk

 It's March - which means every weekend is devoted to nature and outdoor activities.

Placerita Canyon is looking good!  There's water in the springs, the grasses are green and the flowers are blooming.  The air was super fresh and invigorating.  We met this golden eagle along our way.  It was cool to get such a close-up look at this beauty.  It had broken it's wing and can't be on it's own in the wild so it's an ambassador for wildlife.

A little movie to calm your nerves...the water sounds definitely brought me to a happy place.

Recording Brianna Oppenheimer's Animation Demo 2/25/22

 Hello kitty!  Recording Brianna Oppenheimer's Animation Demo.

20 years goes by so fast....

 Thank God for Facebook and Instagram to keep us in touch with friends from the past.  We actually got together, "live and in person" with Roger Hunt today for breakfast at Suprema.  It's been about 20 years since we saw him.  I love how easy and familiar it all felt to see him and catch up.  Like no time has come between us.

Solvang with Mom and Uncle Bob

 Hanging out in Solvang with Vince, Mom and Uncle Bob.  We ate at Leonardo's Restaurant.  Very good Italian food.  Then walked around the village.

Mom and her Pom Pom:

Taft Gardens in Ojai = Heaven on Earth

A month ago we got a good rain storm.  This is the aftermath...

We're in Taft Gardens in Ojai.  A garden of Eden to be sure...

The older gentleman is John Taft.  He took us on a tour of his land that he bought in the 1970's and made it a conservancy so that no one can build on the land.  There are a couple of buildings that they have weddings at but it was mostly nature.  Beautiful nature.

We're in this gorgeous nature and Vince finds a rusty old truck to photograph:

Here's Vince's photo of what he's taking a picture of in the above photos:

The Buddha in the garden had such a peaceful feeling...

I'm the photographers photographer:

 All of the above photos I took on my phone.  Here's some of Vince's photos that he took with his camera.  (show off! :)
