Venice Beach.

Just to the west of Los Angeles is Venice Beach.  Named after it’s sister city in Italy, Venice has canals running to the ocean in between multi-million dollar homes.  Once the hangout of the Doors, it is now a popular tourist destination and a magnet for interesting, weird, and bizarre people.  

I spent the week a half mile or so from the beach with my good friends, Josh and Inwha.  Although some said it was overrated, for a people lover like myself I was in heaven.  Street performers, cheesy tourist apparel, and people, people, people.  

Here are a few photographs and soon I will show a video I made with my friends, Alicja and Lokesh on Valentine’s Day.  Stay tuned!
