Los Angeles / Museum

Right by my apartment, I can’t help but come here often. It’s situated right around the historic La Brea Tar Pits. One needs to spend an entire day here. Also love their magazine/book store.

Los Angeles / Other

This happened last winter— due to extreme climate changes there was a rare snowfall in the hills of Los Angeles. I can count on one hand how many times I have seen snow, nonetheless driven in it. I was playing "I Love You" by Takehiko Honda while driving through Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park. I will never forget it.

Los Angeles / Shop

Vintage store off the beaten path, with good prices and cool decorations. Have found many good things here!

Los Angeles / Bridge

You have to cross this bridge when you're driving to downtown from East LA. It gives you an amazing view on the River, old industrial buildings and the high rises of downtown Los Angeles. Remember that famous scene from Grease? This is the place. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my car in here.

Los Angeles / River

If you really want to feel in a hollywood movie, go visit the river. Forget hollywood. To get the full experience go to this spot. You have to access through a dark, damp tunnel, and when you emerge …there it is, from Grease to Going 60 seconds, to Transformer and Drive. You are immediately transported to a high speed chase or and action movie scene. Nothing beats an Isolated piece of infrastructure.

Los Angeles / Place
