• The J. Paul Getty Museum is a gem within the city of angels. Free to the public, complete with beautiful stone achitecture, gardens, and the best view of LA. It’s no wonder it was the location which was the inspiration for the photo directly above. I’d had this exact picture in my head forever, and Franz captured it perfectly! A photo that embodies the qualities of the paintings within it.

• It was quite easy to find sources of inspiration everywhere we looked.

Climbing into nooks and crannies drew the attention of many visitors, who along with Mr. Swantko, took several photos of me! I am now in the Getty slide show belonging to a very nice family of Asian tourists!

• The moment above is a true example of artistic collaboration. Franz and I had just arrived at the entrance, and were having a conversation about capturing light. I turned around, saw the square in the floor, and ran over to sit in it. Dr. Fresh quickly saw the perfect shot, and this magical image came to be. It was also his entry into a weekly challenge instagram puts on which featured light coming from the corner of the frame.
