A shot from the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade. This guy was having an awesome time dancing to the musician's tunes.

So while I was shooting in Downtown LA today this guy came up to me and asked me if I would take his picture. "Of course," I said to him. He was a pretty funny guy. This was my favorite shot.

I took this photo at the Downtown Los Angeles Library garden.

It's a very beautiful spot and you can usually find people sitting, relaxing and just getting away from the noise of the city. Since it was hot out there were hardly any people at the garden, so I kept making my way around. Then I saw this gentleman. There was something about him that drew me to him and I had to take a picture.

This shot was taken at high noon, so it wasn't exactly the best conditions to take a picture, it was very bright out.

I love the expression on her face. She actually saw me set up to take the shot and quickly gave me that look as I took the photo. I also like the fact that the older gentleman inside the restaurant is looking at me as well wondering what the heck I'm doing.

This was a photo I took a few weeks back during one of my random walks around Hollywood. I was walking back to my car when I saw this lady coming towards me. She looked quite sad and pensive, it called for me to take her photo. Unfortunately, I was facing the sun as it was setting and I wasn't as ready as I would have liked. I kept going back to this picture in my folder trying to figure out how to save it, and here is the result.

Took this picture a while back in Downtown Los Angeles. This guy totally reminds me of actor Ed Helms who plays Andy Bernard in the tv show The Office.
