As I slowly drove down Venice Avenue, I saw three young people, two in costume, walking on the sidewalk. I could hardly believe my luck. The median age in Venice is 68, and it is VERY conservative. You just don’t see young people looking like, well…, young people.

So I found the nearest parking spot, and they were walking toward me. When I explained my project, and that I wanted to photograph them, they were laughing and eager. Zoe could not STOP laughing.

Darian was the most unusual of the trio, at least unusual in Venice.

Callie asked if she could hold the dog (Leah, I think). Of course!

This was during my Olympus OM-D EM-5 trial. I’ll finish that up tomorrow.
