On my visit in 2005 Sha in LA invited me for
a Los AnGeles ConservancY walking tour on the USC campus. If you like the architecture of John Parkinson this is the place to go.
In 2007 i had the great pleasure to meet make-up artist Rita Brown and the KTLA Prime News team: Lissette Gonzalez, Ross King, i, Hal Fishman, Frank Buckley and Damon Andrews
Anchor Hal Fishman not only knew a lot about Germany and former chancellor Helmut Schmidt, he also gave me a history lesson: I learned that in the Sixties BarrinGton Plaza was the tallest building in Los Angeles ...and that he lived there once.

OakleY building and a lot of

tours of the famous Los AnGeles Theatre
and The Palace.

Fabulous columnist and reporter Patt Morrison
Patt Morrison and her producer Collin Campbell invited

In 2007 i visited Los Angeles two times. Thanks to Michael Locke i had the opportunity to meet more wonderful people than ever. He opened the doors of so many houses for me, i will be busy forever putting everything online.
We had a wonderful party at the beautyful renovated residence Elevado de Castillo. Donna and Michael Locke together with Karen and Guy Vidal were the perfect hosts. Pasta, red wine and a mix of illustrious guests created the perfect evening: Julius Shulman spoke from past times, younger architects like Gustavo Gubel or Tim CamPbell talked about their current projects.
Michael J. Locke - a great friend and a great guide
to the hidden treasures of Silver Lake architecture.
