At Picking Up Where We Left Off...

I had a packed schedule last weekend, but I HAD to stop by opening night of Yoskay Yamamoto's solo show at LeBasse Projects "Picking Up Where We Left Off". So between helping out a friend and going out in Santa Monica, I stopped in Culver City. Midnight Blossom was my favorite piece at this show.
