Which Four?
Today’s post has a poll so you can vote on the short list I should have taken to class in Los Angeles. Below are all 21 images from my long-list of favourites taken while on a course with Sam Abell.

Santa Monica Pier VI
An intent photographer on the Santa Monica pier.
Being one of my classmates, she took her time getting her shot just right.
Which gave me time to get close enough to take this photograph.
