LA (Los Angeles,) the city of dreams. It’s so funny, being from Minnesota we had this image in our heads of LA. That’s where all the writers, actors, actresses, and models went to.
So, you can imagine that I never dreamed of being here, but when that day came, and I told friends and family, they all looked at me, like really? Lots of them put wagers on when I’d be back in Minnesota again.
What I wasn’t prepared for was how fast and easy it was to fall in love with this city #lovethiscity. And how there is truly something for everyone in this city. Whether you’re a movie fanatic, or a person who loves the arts, or are one of those foodies or even the sports (LA Dodgers, LA Lakers, LA Clippers, and the LA Kings) there really is something for everyone.
Outside the Music Center
For those of you that love the arts, there are beautiful art galleries found throughout the entire city of LA. There are also amazing theaters from the Long Beach Performing Arts Center to the Music Center that plays host to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion to the Mark Taper Forum to the Ahmanson Theatre. And even small town playhouses like the Santa Monica Playhouse, the Pasadena Playhouse and others found all throughout the town.
For the sports fanatics there is also a little something for everyone in LA. Up above lies a photo from the Dodgers Stadium, the beloved baseball team of LA. But even down in the OC (Orange County) there are the beloved Anaheim Angels.
And for those basketball fanatics, there lies the LA Lakers and the LA Clippers. And there are huge hockey fans all throughout this town. Who won the beloved Stanley Cup last year other than the LA Kings.
With the beach only a few miles away for many Angeleno’s, it has become a favorite place to hang out, spend a day at, and just have some fun and relaxation.
And not to mention, a destination getaway for those that travel, a place to come for the beautiful sunshine and to be near the ocean blue.
And for the foodie, LA is a great place to relish in those wonderful restaurants, and for those that love STREET food, LA is also the place to be. With food trucks roaming the streets at every corner, and close to fun tourist attractions, there’s a little something for everyone. On any given day you could have sushi, burgers, food from New York, Thai or Italian.
But, for me, the photographer, what is priceless to me in LA? The amazing shots you can find throughout the entire city. Whether it’s visiting the Griffith Observatory and getting a beautiful shot of the city below.
Or visiting the Port of Los Angeles, and capturing the beautiful Vincent Thomas Bridge.
Or visiting the Korean Friendship Bell. There truly is something to take a picture of. And it creates lasting memories for years to come.
