Demitasse Roasters and Brewers ~ Santa Monica, California

Thursday, May 23, 2013

It is great to see how the coffee scene in Los Angeles is growing, and with that it’s adding more greatness to our already amazing coffee community.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the newly opened Demitasse Coffee Roasters and Brewers in Santa Monica. Perfect location, amazing team, great coffee and tea, superb pastries, and the best hot chocolate. I’m sharing a few detail photos of my shoot at this awesome espresso bar.

Along with their beautiful La Marzocco, Demitasse Santa Monica also has a gorgeous and very sleek Alpha Dominche Steampunk Brewing System, the newest in coffee brewing technology.

Let’s Get Pedaling … and Coffeing ~ 10 Speed Coffee at Pedalers Fork, Calabasas

Monday, April 29, 2013

Yes, there’s coffee in Calabazas, good coffee by the way.

If you know me, then you know how much I love a good cup of coffee, therefore I’ve been looking forward to the opening of this coffee bar, and I am happy to see that it is finally here. 10 Speed Coffee at Pedalers Fork, a newly opened beautiful Espresso Bar in the same venue as a Restaurant, a Bar, a Moots Bikes Boutique, and a Full Service Bicycle Shop.

I didn’t try the food at the restaurant, since my main purpose was to check the espresso bar and try their coffee. I found good coffee, humble and friendly knowledgeable baristas, a very nice, small, but comfortable coffee bar. A little bit of a Portland feel within the coffee area, and that’s a great thing to see. I will visit anytime I am near that area, and I can also see myself driving to Calabazas just for the coffee. Enjoy a few images from my visit las Friday.

Special thanks to Lead Roaster/Barista Justin Bahr and Barista Jacob for the great coffee and awesome hospitality.

Good coffee times!

The Magic Hour ~ Healing and Inspiring California Beaches

Thursday, February 28, 2013

I always look forward to those weekends when I have the opportunity to drive to the coast, eat something new and good, drink amazing coffee somewhere along the way, and a much needed walk by a beautiful California beach. For me it is just the perfect lift me up, especially after a rough week.

Borrowing the words of my photographer friend Christopher Flett, these day trips and beach walks are …

 “Healing and Inspiring.” 

These images are from my most recent sunset walks by the beach at some of my favorites places around Ventura and Santa Barbara, which are also four images that I submitted to the amazing La vuelta al Mundo Flickr Group, this month’s theme was The Magic Hour. You might want to take a look at the gorgeous images now in the group, all shoot by great photographers during that very special magic hour of the day all over the world.

Things I like ~ It’s about finding inspiration along the journey… Wayfare Magazine

Friday, September 28, 2012

A couple of months ago I came across a tweet from someone I follow on Twitter where she pointed to this magazine, I followed the link and immediately fell in love with its content, layout and amazing photography. Wayfare is a beautifully designed magazine with a focus on travel. If you have time go ahead and take a look, I have the feeling that you are going to love it too.

Wayfare Magazine’s Mission:

“We recognize that travel is not defined by how many miles you cover. It’s about finding inspiration along the journey and celebrating the everyday moments. It’s about the spirit of discovery — breaking out of your routine to unwind, connect, and learn. It’s this desire to go, to celebrate, and to experience that drives everything we do.”
