instant los angeles

the shiny and the happy

swimming pools

oh, california

venice

to swim in the ocean

rainbow

somewhere between

as it turns out, fuji color peel apart film really sort of loves bright sunny los angeles. once I realized this, I burned through packs of film like a crazy person. not pictured here (but forever immortalized with the nikon and the iphone): the street art show, grauman's chinese theatre, olvera street, disneyland and of course, multiple trips to in-n-out burger.

I'm so very impressed with how you captured modern-day skateboarding and made it look old-Hollywood glam. Bravo!

The next time one of my Dutch friends asks me why I want to move back to the US, I'm going to point them to these images.

Beautiful!

Great pictures - can only be one place - can't say that of every city.

this city photographed in this way is so special. It makes LA live up the dreams people have of it.

Love them all! Very Cali. I visited for the first time this summer and fell in love with San Fran. I wish I could afford to move there.
