LA and i are a little like that friend we all have that looks disturbingly better looking and more put together than you all the time so you never seem to hang out much in fear they will find out you’re just not fashionable enough. needless to say, i don’t make my way over there much with my 3 car seats and yoga pants that i didn’t seem to get around to doing yoga in. people talk about how gross the smog is but you can bet your bottom dollar you’re not going to see a sunset anywhere else like in LA and its because of that creepy smog. (i’m not sure how i just turned smog into a plus for this major metropolis but lets go with it.)
i had the pleasure of shooting some friends this past weekend at LA’s own Griffith Observatory. having lived only a short drive from LA the past 5 plus years, i cant believe id never made it out to this gem. i have literally fallen in love with LA all over again seeing it’s beginning of night from this vantage point.
friendship commenced.


come see what my friend Val Spring of The Red Balloon Photography and has posted for “NIGHT”, it’s sure to be spectacular…
