L.A., in context

Until recently, I’d pretty much spent my entire life avoiding Los Angeles, and only within a few years ago did I begin to develop an interest in visiting the city. I once rode through it– towards Anaheim en route to Disneyland, my mother cursing traffic, my face pressed against the glass trying to catch glimpses of the Hollywood sign. I even camped in Malibu ten years later– and again, never actually spent time within. Oddly, I made my first ‘real’ visit at the end of January this year, and I’ve stopped in another 5 times since.

I don’t have too much more to say about the city in general other than its actually proven to be a really amazing place in spite of the classic, and very present stereotypes that surround it.

See some some photos from the first of my visits.
