This is a more recent photo of me with my dog Jake. Barry and I took him on road trip from Long Beach up the coast to San Franciso, Sacramento, and back last summer 

This was a color photo that I didn't like so I changed it to black and white 

I manipulated this photo with PhotoShop to make it look like a watercolor. But at this size I don't think you can see it. 

This photo was taken at a Mexican Independance Celebration in Sacramento California about 1974 

I like shooting Mexican Folk Dancers. This was taken on Oivera Street in LA 

This is Smokey. He is part Maine Coon Cat. They are extremely loveable cats. I rescued him and his brother TJ from the street, when they were kittens. I have resued many cats. If I can't find homes for them, I keep them. But I fell in love with him, and didn't give him up. He likes to sleep in this crazy position that I find so funny.

These are TJ (Tom Jr) and Tom. They are not related, but are great friends. They look a like that's why I call TJ Tom Jr. They were cat I found on the street and rescued. 

This is a great view from San Francisco's Legion of Honor Museum 

This is part of the San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts. I took the photo on my vacation. Although I have lived in San Francisco, during the 1960. I lived on the Panhandle near Haight  

It looks like a canon, but it's really and old rusted out tractor. Found it in Aubrn, CA 

Here I am when I was a blond. I am now a redhead. The picture was taken when I was on vacation visiting my Aunt Irene in Sacramento, CA, however the picture was taken in Aubrn. It was an important mining town during the California Gold Rush. 

This describes how I feel about SUV's and Cars fueled by oil. I went to LA State University where the engineering department built a car that ran on solar engery and came in 3rd in a race across the Australian desert. We don't need oil to run our cars, especially we who live in sunny California! 

There has been a lot of immigrant bashing recently, and now with 911 the movement to stop racism has to be even stronger. 

It was a big demonstartion with people from all over the Los Angeles basin 

This is rather dated since the bush wacker is now president. 

The beginning of the antiwar demonstartion. 

This was one of my favorite protest signs. They past by so fast sometimes I didn't have time to get them all. 

The following photos are of the Peace Rally we had in Los Angeles on Hollywood Blvd. just before the war. How naive we were to think we stop the war mongers who hold the realy power in this country. 

This is the Long Beach Convention Center 

This is the Long Beach Museum of Art. They have a great little restaurant which is reasonably priced with a spectacular ocean view. 

This is my favorite crepe restuarant on Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach. I took these photos of my visiting relatives in April 2005. The restuarant has since closed because of water damage from a broken water pipe. 

These are my Aunt Mary Martinez and Irene Rameriz. They're in my living room. The house is 100 years old and the photos above the fireplace is my boyfriend Barry's grandfather. 

Here are my Aunt Irene Ramirez, my sister Judi Kissane, and my boyfriend Barry Saks. I possed them as a joke. My sister and aunt were here on vacation. 

These are a class from about 2003. 

This is another class of mine.
