Gunton Arms Portraits

"Gunton Arms Portraits No. 1" While I was traveling in England this summer I attended the first annual  Gunton Festival of Food and Music  in Norfolk. Promoted by our friend Rupert Orton , the sold out festival was set up on a 1,000-acre deer park dating back to the 18th century. Situated in the center of the park,  the remaining hunting lodge was converted into  The Gunton Arms pub and hotel which opened its doors back 2011. The atmosphere of the festival was laid back and cheerful. The deer park with its English Oaks and fields were a perfect backdrop for a large circus tent set up for the musical entertainment. I had a delicious venison burger with pickled brambles on top. When in Rome.. The late summer sun lingered for hours at the horizon making me a very happy photographer!

Soundcheck with The Jim Jones Revue

Is there a better way to start the New Year off than having a couple of hours to photograph one of the best rock and roll bands on the scene today at soundcheck? There's just nothing better in my book... The Jim Jones Revue came rolling into town for a rocking gig on the Sunset Strip at The Viper Room  January 2nd. It was a treat and a thrill to hang out with these rock and rollers from the UK. They had just started  The Savage Heart North American tour , with dates predominantly on the East Coast and Canada. Lucky for those of us in Los Angeles, they stopped by for one night to bring straight up punk rock blues to our town. Viva La Rock! Julie Pavlowski Green January 11, 2014
