Paramount Ranch

What a whirlwind of an art weekend Los Angeles had. One of the many events was the fair at Paramount Ranch – bringing together 32 galleries and artist-run projects in the old western town for its first year.

And coming in late spring, is the Topanga Banjo Fiddle Contest & Folk Festival. We went a couple of years ago with the kids and it was some serious hot'n'dusty Bluegrass goodness.

All pictures of Paramount Ranch were taken by photographer Andrea Wyner on her iphone. Andrea grew up in Los Angeles and now splits her time between New York, California and Italy. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart Living, Monocle, New York Times, Travel + Leisure and Outstanding in the Field – a farm to table cookbook. I've been lucky to know her for at least 15 years and she was sweet enough to even photograph my wedding.
