I lived in LA until 97. Probably had not been to Venice since at least 95. That guy was definitely down there then. Recognized him instantly.
The shot of Griffith Observatory I really like very much. Sometime when someone was playing the Greek and we did not have tickets a friend of mine and I would go up to the Observatory and kind of listen to the music floating up the canyon and sit and talk quietly and enjoy...
i like it.
the first one, if i could recommend something, would be to take the picture but would've been good to stand back and had him clear and other people around him blurry. if you have people you could've included more people around him and make them blurry while he's clear among them.
second one i really like. good job on that one
