Hi all,
I wanted to share this vibrant sunset with you!
I reworked this a little and brought out the depth. Thought these iron and mess decorations on the pier made a nice foreground to the beautiful sunset!! I caught this with the hand held Canon EOS-M with 22mm lens. Hope you like it!

Hi All,
Spring at last!!!
Well it certainly looks like sales were pretty brisk in March, with more single family homes being sold and a continuing upward trend in prices. Inventory is pretty low right now so this could be a great time to sell! If you would like more information check out Cecily Lee’s web at cecilylee.com or give Cecily a call on 310-376-5673

Hi All,
I recently got back from a great trip up to San Francisco. While I was there I took a few shots around the Fishermans Wharf (and a few photographs too!!)…
…and in Crissy Fields down by the water. This is a great park with the Golden Gate Bridge as a back drop. This particular day it was really hot and there was a lot of people lying out on the beach.

It is also a dog lovers delight…

…as they can run free and enjoy the water too.
There is also a number of steel sculpture by Mark di Suvero at Crissy Fields. All of which are very impressive!!

Hi All,
Since spring is officially here I thought I’d take a walk around the South Bay Botanical Gardens in Palos Verdes and check out the wonderful botanical offerings that are on display. What a superb place to spend a leisurely afternoon. The dedicated volunteers and regular staff put so much effort into what is a virtual paradise in amongst the hustle and bustle…

…just a few hundred yards away. You actually feel you’re way out in the country with a mixture of exotic plants from palms to pines and flowers and shrubs galore. I’d highly recommend you give it a visit if you are in the area. I spotted another photographer taking a shot of this wheel barrow and commented on what a great shot it would make. I came back later at the end of my walk and grabbed this shot. I really like it! I hope you do too, it’s a real spring reminder.
Thanks for taking a look,

We’ll I finally succumbed. This really is a great piece of FREE software and does what it says. I have used this for over 2 years and so far have had no issues on a number of different machines. It really helps clean up issues on the PC, free up storage space, defrag you registry and get you machine running to the max. A bunch of great utilities, fast plus easy to use!! I highly recommend giving this a try.
Hi All,
I just wanted to share this with you if you are hankering after better quality audio to sooth your tired ears this might just be for you!!
This is from the CSM on Pono and I’m right there with em, well maybe not the Christian side but certainly I’m all for the HD music stuff!!!
“There’s never been a rock star more predictably unpredictable than Neil Young. Whatever your opinion of his music, the man has always followed his unique inner compass – often at his own expense – veering from feel-good folkie to angry political firebrand to raucous guitar strangler, sometimes over the course of consecutive albums. He’s truly an artist who dances to a different drummer.
Mr. Young’s burning passion these days is Pono, a Toblerone-shaped digital music player that attempts to turn back the clock to the glory days of high-fidelity sound reproduction.
Beginning with the arrival of CDs in the early 1980s up through today’s MP3s, audio recordings have been getting squashed and compressed so radically that sound engineers estimate we’re only getting about 5 percent of the sound recorded in the studio by the time we listen to a song through our earbuds”.
So get on down and check it out! I’ve had a sample and I really can’t go back. Don’t cheat your ears, let them be who they were made to be and get into the HD music revolution!!
Thanks for listening,
Mike Hope

Sunset Learning Studio – Where learning is a pleasure!!
Sunset Learning Studios:
The Sunset Learning Studio was founded by South Bay musician, Dan Jenks.
After attending the University of Evansville as a trombone Performance Major, Dan toured the US for many years on the east coast as a multi-instumentalist (guitar, sax, flute, keys, and singer-songwriter). As a freelance music arranger in New York City, he became hooked on studio recording. Eighteen years ago, Dan moved to California and opened his private recording studio in Redondo Beach. As a music producer, Dan has recorded, arranged and produced over 70 albums.
More recently, he opened the local and online music store called My Gear Guy (www.mygearguy.com) in the same business complex as his recording studio. My Gear Guy continues to be a great source for music gear and technical advice for local musicians.
As a member of our music community, Dan saw a need for a special kind of music instruction in the South Bay. Together with his wife, Nicola McGillicuddy, the Sunset Learning Studio has been created to offer music students an EXCEPTIONAL learning experience – right here, in the South Bay!
The Sunset Learning Studio offers private lessons and music classes in voice (vocals), guitar, drums, piano, bass, and music technology – including Pro Tools, Cubase, Sonar, Logic, Studio Recording, and Modern Music Production.
Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to tell Dan and Nicola that Mike let you know about their great studios…
