- Suzanne Sease features Mr. Arrieta, the personal project in black-and-white of Amanda Lopez. "Mr. Arrieta was my roommate when I first moved to Los Angeles," Lopez explains. A friend mentioned she was looking for someone to look after her dad in Southern California, where Lopez had always wanted to move. "It was an unconventional arrangement, but exactly what I needed.
