Love happens in Long Beach

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” 

― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Sept 15, 2012 a dear friend of mine, Jessica Bermudez was married to Garland Jamison in Long Beach, CA.  Here are but a few photos from that special day. 

A photographers meeting

I attended a meeting yesterday for a new project on the rise involving myself and five other extremely talented and amazing females.  We will be creating some amazing images that represent women and Long Beach.  Location A: The Historical Bembridge house where our second meeting was held to talk about which rooms would be used and I tested the lighting in each one.

 I was fortunate enough to speak squirrel in order to get these amazing two shots in the front yard of the Bembridge house across the street from Drake Park.
