I didn't say I hated LA, I simply said I had no desire to visit there.

I love the pictures, Los Angeles is looking beautiful as always, but I could do without the "essay", to be honest.

I love this photo, oh the fond memories I have of going to lunch at In & Out Burgers and watching the planes land. It was truely awsome during the rush hour period when they came down one right behind the other.





Now this one just blows my mind, what a beautiful shot of the city's downtown skyline.

The In & Out Burger photo is also my favorite. I also liked this one.

How long did you have that lady stand in that pose?

Great photos. Much to like, but what is the deal with all the garbage:

The real photographers should be credited. It seems only fair.

That's the Toy District, a few blocks away from Skid Row. This is the usual scene in the early morning when businesses get their shipments. Boxes are all over.
