Redondo Beach Home Sales March 2014

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,

Here is the Redondo Beach Home Sales for our area in December 2013. Sales were picking up quite well and Townhome sales were up.

Some Classic Car shots taken on Redondo Beach Pier, Fishermans Warf, at the 10TH ANNUAL RODS, RIDES AND RELICS CLASSIC CAR SHOW ON THE PIER. September 22nd, 2013. I was using a wide angle lens and polarizer on the Canon 60D probably not a good combination. But hey, If I keep shooting hopefully I will get better right?

Fujifilm XM1 review | Cameralabs

Hi All,

Here is a pretty good review and comparison on the Fujifilm XM-1. It compares quality, build, response and etc. wth the Olympus PEN E-P5 and the Panasonic Lumix GF6. A pretty thorough review with interesting results. Let’s see how pricing goes over the next few months!!

2001 Kubrick Exhibit – Mike Hope

2001 Kubrick Exhibit by Mike-Hope
2001 Kubrick Exhibit, a photo by Mike-Hope on Flickr.

This picture I took of a mock up set of one of the final scenes from the 2001 Space Oddessy movie. It was a set that was up high in the exhibition hall in dark surroundings. I took this with the hand held Canon EOS-M with the 22mm lens. I think it is quite effective and gives a feel of real size space and time. Maybe the idea. It’s not what you see, it’s what you think you see!!
