Along with her new vocation, she has coined a new name. O'Ross now
graces her work. Not only is she passionate about shooting incredible
photos, but she equally loves everything Irish.
She began taking pictures in 1994 with a manual camera and since
has found joy in replicating the beauty of plants, flowers, people,
bridges and other items.
"Anything that will hold still long enough," she quipped.
Throughout August, those visiting Pegadoes, at Verdugo Avenue and
Hollywood Way, can enjoy her work while tasting the store's frozen
custard. She'll be there after 2:30 p.m. each Sunday "talking to
visitors, taking orders and eating the profits," she said.
