While in Los Angeles we had lunch with a good friend in Malibu. We found the environment there uncomfortable, at least for us. Since I carry a camera all the time I had many people question if I was a paparazzi, and seemed truly disappointed when I replied that I was not. Apparently, a little later, some genuine paparazzi did appear; from their looks in my direction they were concerned that I was competition. Evidently, lots of movie stars or other famous people often go there for lunch. This is the lure of being there for many.
I am out of step, as I was seeking the unusual among the usual; the ordinary that stands out. It is not always as easy as looking at a movie star; but for me more rewarding
