A little known fact about me is that before photography, I was going to school for Fine Art.

Painting is my first love, but alas, photography became my livelihood. However, when I get to find opportunities to meld my two loves, it makes me very happy. Throw in some live music, and now we're really talking. Add the benefit of a cozy European-style pub and heart-cheering libations and you are just this side of paradise.

I found myself in just this kind of feel good atmosphere at Brewley's Pint in Pacific Beach (or PB as the locals call it) March 22-24 for the LiveArt and Music Fest they put on. It was three nights of good vibes. There were local musicians playing acoustic sets each night and three, sometimes four, visual artists from the Infusion Project making art (mostly acrylic paintings on canvas or wood) right on the spot.
