Jayden Taylors and I visited the new and expensively-constructed Tongva Park in the heart of Santa Monica. It is a recreational spot that can hardly serve any real recreational use. There's no soccer field, no basketball court, not even a large open space that could be used as a general-purpose venue. However, Tongva features pretty fountains and interesting architectural designs, so I knew I had to photograph someone there. Jayden was a perfect fit. Her slight figure and striking gaze lend to her posh demeanor. And even though the Santa Monica city hall and police station are right across the street from the new park, Jayden was as cool as a cucumber.
