LA to SINGAPORE and beyond ...
March trip to the USA / LA was awesome - Highlight : Seeing my sons & tribe of the utmost importance. Low point : Lost my Phone in Atlanta so that was major headache but Mercury was in retrograde and it's been chaotic in many ways so one must take the madness in one's stride and "breath" through it all. Highlights of the trip : Nominjin project developing incredibly well ... so grateful for all the creative ventures coming together beautifully in divine order - Women of Wonder / Give Back will soon be a 501C for non profit organization. Now in Singapore for SingJazz festivals . new iPhone in effect so I am back and will be sharing materials from the festival over the coming weekend.

Vamp Agency Singapore : New website launching April 2018
Louis Soliano@Vamp Agency Singapore
"Uncle Lou"
Affectionately referred to as "Uncle Lou" by fans and peers, Soliano is a household name in local jazz circles. Growing up in a family of musicians, the veteran artist actually began playing professionally at the tender age of 17. From winning his first competition organized by Cathay Organization in 1959, to performing alongside jazz greats like Buddy Rich, Sarah Vaughan and Matt Monro, to performing live in front of two Singapore Presidents (Dr. Tony Tan, and Mr. Wee Kim Wee) - Soliano has certainly led a distinguished 58-year career. Louis is now a part of the family of world class talent represented by the VAMP AGENCY SINGAPORE

21 miles : Malibu
This is a quick clip I edited together of B Roll footage I shot over the Xmas / New year break in and around Malibu 2017-2018. It is still the most beautiful corner of LA to me and one of the places on this beautiful planet I have been lucky enough to call home. I want to do an extended piece soon, but here is a minute clip of 21 miles, and visit soon if your in the region.
Kick the Booze
Bali Art
Bali Art
No end to the creativity, everywhere one looks in Bali there is some art carving or sculpture hanging that reflects the culture.
The High Sierras
Medows with pristine mountain waters flying through them.
The High Sierras
I miss these kindred spirits Allen & Mike - Also both music producers / writers etc - creative cats. As my Father would say "precious times" My Pops knew how to appreciate the people he loved that's why he always had gatherings and loved to have his tribe around him. I hope we get to climb some other mountains together again in the near future. There is a bond that exists after you have taken a journey together that has taken some true grit to complete. These hikes take usually 10-12 hours to finish. It's a natural high to be in such beauty, every moment feels like heaven on earth.
Embracing & Celebrating the aging process ...
This Balinese women was sitting making tiny baskets with sheered bamboo stalks. Her hands still look beautiful to me, so creative. Bali is a Mecca for creative souls. Maybe that's why 've always felt so at home there.
"We all get there if we are lucky enough to weather time...old age. If only western society embraced & celebrated the aging process, maybe people would not feel the pressure to have plastic surgery and instead invest their energy into developing their true inner beauty" As a very wise "women of wonder" just stated to me the other day... "If only we could see what a miracle we are, each and every one of us, oh how it would change the world" (Ibu Robin Lim)
Smoothie Bowl-Ubud Sari
Smoothie Bowl
I guess smoothie bowls have become a major thing in the world of "healthy eating" they are certainly a popular dish in Bali. Check out UBUD SARI HEALTH RESoRT when your next in UBUD. They have a RAW food restaurant. Organic / Vegan delights.
Bali Wildlife ...
Pretty amazing quality pix you can get from an iPhone7s with the basic Adobe-Lightroom app installed. Caught this guy at breakfast in Ubud, Bali. He leapt like an olympic super frog. I did not know Chameleons had that skill prior.
