 I should be easy to spot out I look like my photo. 

Downtown LA is an amazing place and a perfect location for endless photo opportunities. Have you ever looked at the top of the old theaters and abandoned buildings in downtown, once the heart and treasure of LA? Many buildings have been abandoned and left to ruin but they have amazing architecture. How about, walked through the alleys and photographed the graffiti while trying not to trip over debris? Though these things may be thought provoking or even disturbing, these images can help get the creative juices flowing. These opportunities are endless and are up to your own creativity, what ever you can find, people, cars, bridges, tunnels, buildings, trash, graffiti, riots, you never know. We will walk, talk, and photograph, for about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on what the group is up for. When we are done, hopefully you will have made some new friends, seen some interesting places, burned a few calories and have some amazing pictures. You will be able to upload your favorite pictures to the groups photo gallery where we can all view and enjoy them. The type of camera you should bring is up to you. I will probably dust of an old Argus C-3, an old polaroid, and a digital camera. Or maybe just two of those since we're walking. You bring whatever you want. I can't wait to see you there. If you need a camera contact me I am sure we can come up with loners.

    What a temptation to accompany my camera. I'll try to make it.
