This is my second year photographing the FreshstART fundraising event at the Santa Monica Airport and I had such a great time. I've gotten familiar with the artists and a number of regulars from Tinlark Gallery where I shoot often and which is the connector for me to this great event. Let me explain how it works. There are about 200 carefully selected artists who donate one or two pieces of their work. Within the short two hour event, people have a chance to eat, drink, view and buy. But, if you blink, you may lose your 1st choice piece. You have to go in and pick FAST! The crowd rushes in, things FLY off the wall to be wrapped, new owners carry them home, never to be seen again. It actually works well. It's brilliant! I didn't donate this year. But, I do plan to put something in next year. If you're looking for some art to buy...this is the event. I'd be happy to keep you in the loop for next year. Just let me know. Here are some mover and shaker highlights. Maybe some of them look familiar?

Tommy!!

I had the pleasure of photographing this little man a few weeks ago. Daddy, Tom, and I go way back to my Cable days. We used to share war stories with offices down the hall from each other. I remember when he had just met his wife Erica and was soooo excited! So, it was great to spend some time with them in their new home. Thanks for having me, Erica and Tom! You have such a beautiful family and now Tom has his mini-me! So cute. I can't wait to do it again when Tommy's a little older and can, at least, hold his head up. :)
