Agnes Wong Design & Photography: Eloisa - an old friend from Art Center!

It's been almost a decade since Art Center days, and since I relocated back to Hong Kong right after graduation, I had not been able to keep in touch with my Art Center friends in the States, and that was before Facebook! After returning back here about 4 years ago, I was living in Pasadena and never thought I would move all the way out here in the Valley, because of Simon's job relocation. Never really felt at home here since we are really the only Asians on the block, Encino is pretty much an all Jewish, Israelis community! I do not have anything against that but just feel absolutely out of place! When we have just moved out here for a couple of months, one night we were shopping at Ralphs and ran right into Elosia?! And she lives just two blocks from our condo?! We met back at school, and were on the same team for this silly environmental design project. I always remembered Elosia taking me downtown for the project in her Dad's ultra cool red Mustang! I believe in fate..do you?! ;) Thanks Elosia agreeing to model for me and being so patient under the intense heat!! As always I have so much fun taking photos though nervous since I never seem to get my skills down just yet...I guess that's what keeping me interested since it's very challenging!

Lovely window light and surprise splashes of colors in the background!

Loving her soft, natural body gesture!

Eloisa applied her own makeup, and I helped her a little with curling her hair!

Girly!

A self-proclaimed Topanga Cowboy walked up to us with this furry creature! I still am not sure whether his pet is a husky or a wolf? He said it's a wolf...Wait is it legal to keep a wolf as pet???
