Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles

Constructed between 1999-2003, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, California is an architectural marvel. Designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, the concert hall seats over 2200 people and is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is said to be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world, and its stainless steel skin certainly makes it one of the most striking.

Zucchini Blossom Market & Cafe

Located in Riverside in Medicine Hat, Alberta, the Zucchini Blossom is a coffee shop, gourmet grocery, and a cool hangout across the river from downtown. It's another unique local business that adds a lot of character to the community. Personally, I think it's a great place to check out when you're in the mood for something sweet to go with your Americano coffee.

Road Trip Around Oahu, Hawaii: Part 1

Lush mountains, long stretches of beach, and winding roads that hug the coastline - this is the romance behind taking a road trip around the island of Oahu in Hawaii. I was sold on the experience before I left, but I knew an impressive car would make it even more fun. So, I rented out a $200K Bentley Continental convertible and needless to say I had a pretty epic time.

Starting off from my hotel in Waikiki, I headed east around Diamond Head and continued to the Makapu'u Lookout. From there I explored the ruins of a sugar mill on the east coast, and made a stop at the Byodo-In Temple. On the north shore I photographed surfers along the iconic Banzai Pipeline, and then continued to the southwest to Barber's Point Beach Park. Naturally, I was also inclined to explore more of Honolulu in the Bentley, and met my sister and her fiance for supper at the Rainbow Drive-In. All and all, it was a pretty incredible day.

I got stuck in very typical Hawaiian traffic on the north shore.
