Inspired by Art… Just got back to LA from a wonderfully inspiring stay at the Weston estate and the Wildcat Nude Photo Workshop led by Kim Weston and myself. Last Thursday, when I first walked into Kim’s private studio and saw his paintings on the wall, I was feeling newly infused with inspiration and creativity. The gallery style studio reminded me of when I worked at an art gallery in LA and when I traveled through Europe stopping at every atelier I could find. I am so overwhelmed with love for art, artists, muses, fellow photographers, and the graciousness of everyone in our community. I am hard pressed to verbalize how grateful I am to lead a life filled with passion, art and beautiful people… so I will just leave it to my photographs to express it for me.
All photographs created at Wildcat Hill, Big Sur, CA August 29, 2010 by Christa Meola



I will be blogging the rest of my fav picks from the Workshop as well as share all of the news that has kept me so wonderfully busy this summer.
Stay tuned for more!
xx, Christa

Clunk. That’s the sound of my jaw hitting the floor. At a remarkable loss for eloquent prose, I hereby second everything that’s been said above. Elegant, classy, artistic images that make me want to see more, more, more. Can’t wait!
Your photos never cease to amaze me. These are breath-taking.
These photos are reminiscent of fine art from the past. The first one reminds me of why I got my art history minor in college. It’s stunning and very inspirational. Thank you for sparking the artist in me to come out and play again. Hehe.
I am blown away – the lighting is impeccable. So beautiful.
Your Odalisque is exquisite.
