Elysian Park is supposed to be a family-oriented space in the heart of Los Angeles. In fact, I have seen many birthday celebrations, BBQ gatherings, and even “movies at the park” events there. Unfortunately, vandals and drug addicts are frequent visitors as well. The park is always dirty. Fences are broken, trash is found everywhere. In my experience the only thing that really works at this park is the group of security guards that will kick you out after 9pm when they close, which happened to me when I was shooting the Dodger Stadium photo sequences that are part of the first video TimeLAX 01.

South Gate is a suburb located 7 miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles. I had planned going there to shoot the symbolic bridge for at least two years, always waiting for the perfect waiting conditions that included fast-moving clouds. This bridge serves as a meeting spot for teenagers living in the area and also as a backdrop for photographers like most bridges in LA.

Downtown LA has experienced a lot of new constructions and building renovations between 2012 and 2016. I’m waiting for all major projects to be completed before I work on new photo sequences to capture the skyline again. In the meantime here are some photos I took with my phone.

Today is the first day of the demolition of the legendary and iconic Sixth Street Viaduct which connects the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles with the Boyle Heights neighborhood in East LA.

Turnbull Canyon is a hilly area between the suburbs of Whittier and Hacienda Heights on the east side of Los Angeles County. In my opinion, this is the best location to photograph sunsets in Los Angeles any time of the year. Time-lapse photo sequences created from this place are simply amazing!
