Such exquisite intricate design replicating the beloved Balboa park carousel. I hold in high admiration the dedication and time (18 years to be exact) it takes to create something so beautiful and lasting. Just wish the music could be played for all to hear. Hopefully you will love this piece as much as I do.
Created by Jim Grahl in 2007. Made with; diamond, ruby, gold, platinum, silver, mother of pearl, glass, stainless steel and wood. There are 56 hand carved animals that depict the actual one on the carousel.
This enameled egg can be found on the top floor of the Natural History museum.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

2015
A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting.
Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
