This is Steve on graduation day from UCLA, School of Arts and Architecture. His bachelor's is in Design/Media Arts. One of the speakers commented that looking back in history, we commonly characterize civilizations by their art and architecture. There's not much record of doctors, lawyers, etc. Interesting.

My friend Mary Abatecola helped me find many of the best beach treasures here. Sea urchins, scallop shells, barnacles, even a cool piece of coral at the top of the picture. Click on the pic to see it bigger.
