MICHAEL JACKSON PHOTOGRAPH EXHIBIT – DAVID W. STREETS BEVERLY HILLS FINE ART

Michael Jackson Exhibition Dedicates New Beverly Hills Gallery Rare photographs of Michael Jackson with sister, Janet and brothers - Jackie, Marlon, Tito and Randy, will be exhibited and available to the public for the first time ever at David W. Streets Beverly Hills Fine Art. These rare photos, taken during August of 1978, give a glimpse into the life of Michael and his siblings at a time in their lives when they were all experiencing a new beginning in LA. The occasion was an exclusive photo session in Los Angeles by noted Celebrity Photographer, Gregg Cobarr, prior to the release of their first album, "Destiny", for their new record label, Epic Records. These historical images were created at two locations around Los Angeles - the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and a private lake in Westlake Village. Cobarr's photos portray the innocence, the excitement, the tenderness and heart of Michael Jackson in a way only he can describe. "I wanted to make sure that Michael felt free to be himself", states Cobarr, "so that I could truly capture the essence of Michael. I wanted people to get a sense of Michael for who he really was and now more than ever, this is truly the important aspect of the photographs and of the exhibit." The public has never even seen most of the photos and they have never, ever been offered for sale to the public. Gregg Cobarr has over thirty years of professional experience with such music industry clients as Columbia and Epic Records, Capitol, RCA ...

Chinatown Los Angeles

California travel expert Veronica Hill of www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com tours Chinatown Los Angeles in this episode of "California Travel Tips." When you think of Chinatown, colorful paper lanterns, delightful dim sum and fierce Chinese dragons may come to mind. The truth is, Chinatown Los Angeles has all of that and more. Established in 1938, LA's New Chinatown along Broadway and Hill streets, makes a fun and exotic day trip. Chinatown history dates back to 1852, when the Chinese arrived in Los Angeles. Located on the site of Union Station, Old Chinatown fell into disrepair during the mid 1910s, and it was demolished. Today, Chinatown LA is home to more than 15000 Asian residents, who live, play and worship here every day. The Taoist temple on Yale Street is one of the largest and the most beautiful in Southern California. Here, worshippers pray to the goddess of the seas, lighting incense and offering up fruit and vegetables, which are used to feed the poor. During Chinese New Year, oranges are offered at this temple's altar for good luck and fortune. The celebration continues with crackling fireworks and a festive Chinese New Year parade with colorful dragons, flags and dancers along North Broadway. The event draws more than 50000 spectators a year. One of the best things about Chinatown in LA is the performances by the Shaolin monks from the Henan province of China. These incredibly talented kung fu masters perform the first and third Sunday of each month in Central ...
