Took a visit to the Peterson Auto Museum on Sunday. Great auto exhibit, definitely worth a visit. The Harley vs Indian exhibit is a must see…

Around the Peninsula – Palos Verdes
Hi all,
this MLK weekend was really clear and sunny in the South Bay area of LA, so I took the opportunity to get around the Palos Verdes Peninsula and try out a 24-70mm Sony GM lens, that I managed to get at a really good price. I took some shots of La Venta Inn and then drove around the coast ending up at the Point Vicente Interpretative – Whale watch Center. Really a great place to visit and take a hike along the cliffs. Anyway I will post a few photos of the Sunday drive. Hope you like them.

Black & White Photo Book
Hi all,
I just tried out Blurb to publish a photobook (Photographs by Mike-Hope) of some of my black and white shots. It is up on Blurb right now and thought you might like to take a look. I am going to publish it in tablet form too so it will be easier to review and download through Amazon (only if you like it of course). If you have any comments or any of the photos take your fancy let me know…
The Black & White of it…
About the Book
Just travelling around over the past 8 years or so, snapping places and images of interest that I felt might look good in black and white, or near black and white as in some of the photos. A varied collection of some 72 pages that I hope you enjoy…

Hi All,
I was thinking of changing the site name to mike-hope.net as I am no longer in Hermosa so technically not an hermosaman 🙂 So maybe Mike-Hope.net would be more appropriate…

Henry Philip Hope – Mystery of the Hope Diamond
Hi all,
I was researching a bit more on the Hope line from Scotland and uncovered some interesting facts and circumstances surrounding the Hope Diamond and Henry Philip Hope who came into possession of the diamond in the 1800’s after it’s disappearance from King Louis the XVI during the French Revolution. There is a fascinating Smithsonian documentary, Mystery of the Hope Diamond which unravels the diamonds origins, travels and alleged curse…

THE FAMOUS AND INFAMOUS JEWELLERY COLLECTIONS OF HENRY PHILIP HOPE
Henry Philip Hope (Hope Diamond) Smithsonian
Henry Philip Hope (1774-1839) brother of Thomas Hope, was a wealthy British banker with an affinity for fine art and precious gems. An 1839 catalogue of his gem collection mentions a large blue diamond weighing 45.5 carats. The diamond would take his name, becoming known as “Hope’s Diamond” or the “Hope Diamond.”

San Juan Capistrano Water Lilies Photograph by Michael Hope
Hi all,
We were down in San Jan Capistrano last weekend and I came across these water lilies in the Mission area. They were so colorful and reminded me of Monet’s famous water lily collection I had viewed earlier in the year whilst visiting the de Young in San Francisco, so I gave it a bit of a painterly feel. Hope you like it…
