Los Angeles Feb 2020
I almost titled this just Los Angeles, but I think I have a bunch of trips on the calendar to L.A. this year, and hopefully this isn’t the last time I take pictures in sunny California. Last Thursday morning, I woke up early and tried to make it out onto the street before sunrise to catch the light. That didn’t happen, but I still made it outside early in the sunrise for some fun lighting.
As I walked down the street, I saw a fountain in the entry to an outdoor mall. I started taking a few pictures. After a dozen shots, screwing around with the exposure, a security guard approached and tiredly said, “Sir, no professional photography on the property.” “Oh, so sorry. Thanks,” I replied. As I walked away, all I could think was “He thought I was a pro!”. Hahaha. On the sidewalk, a young man approached, “Hey, do you have a business card? I could really use a photographer for my Instagram presence.” Oh, LA, don’t ever change.
