Well Iris you have captured my part of town very well. There is a lot to love about Venice and Santa Monica and you have certainly found the colorful people and the wonderful essence that makes Venice Venice and Santa Monica Santa Monica.

Iris, you have captured quite a cast of characters on your trek through Venice. Your titles of each photo are almost as creative as are your pictures. Well done!

The captions make these poignant and engaging portraits even more delightful. I always enjoy the intimacy and naturalness of your photos. I see things differently through your lens!

Your photography and your editing discipline continue to improve. You have great variety of subject matter here, and relatively few redundant choices in terms of content. You certainly express a sense of place in these images.

Love the vivid colors ! Have been to Venice and the Santa Monica Pier so many times and didn't realize how gritty life is there. Your photos capture that perfectly.
Your captions are brilliant!

Very powerful images Iris. You get right to the essence of things with these tightly composed shots and strong gestures. Each tells a distinct story. Bravo!
