Piering into the Past

Opened in 1920, the Manhattan Beach Pier is Southern California's oldest remaining example of early reinforced concrete pier construction. The rounded tip has allowed the pier to withstand the heavy Pacific surf for nearly 90 years.

What's on le Menu?


Alleyway, Paris, France
One of the joys of dining in Europe is that restaurants post their menus outside. We always seem to spend too much time deliberating when it comes to deciding on where to eat. At least in Europe we can see their offerings and prices at a glance!

Rows of Rugelach


Rugalach, Tampa, Florida
It's been harder and harder for us to find fresh-baked rugalach where we live. We happened to be at a diner in Tampa which had tons of fresh, delicious rugalach. Mind you, there are many bakeries where we live which sell rugalach, but most are poor imitations of the real deal.

A Dance Upon The Ceiling


Ceiling Decoration, Ziff Ballet Opera House, Miami, Florida, USA
This beautiful swirl evokes dancers in motion. To get this picture, the camera was placed on top of a seatback. We set a 10 second delay to ensure that the camera was perfectly still by the time the shutter opened. This was especially important as we suppressed the flash to capture the ceiling and lights in natural colors.
