These are pictures I took on my second visit to Los Angeles, the visit where I started to become a little obsessed with the place. I stayed and hung out mostly on the east side of town this time, which was much more my speed. I guess what I like about LA is that it’s so distinctly American, and not at all derived from the European way of doing things, like the east coast where I’ve lived most my life. The city is kind of gross in it’s expanses of concrete and and smog, but I find it oddly refreshing.
