Venice Beach

054

I've missed my blog. Lately school has been so stressful. I actually decided to drop my photography class because it was taking all the fun out of taking pictures. I just love to get out there, experiment and learn on my own.

Yesterday Abe and I went to Venice Beach. By the time we got there, most of the shops were beginning to close so we decided to stay there just for a little while. We usually always go there in the daytime, when all of the street performers are out and the strip is more alive.

I can never walk by Small World Books and not go in! It's partially hidden behind an Italian restaurant and I had never noticed it until the last time we were there. I love how small and inviting it is.

They also have this cute cat that likes to hang out around and walk up and down the book aisles.

These are beautiful photos again. I like them very, very good. I especially like the cat that is in the bookstore on the way, (I love book stores. I can not go past and I always have to buy something) and the sunsets. Great colors.

Looks like fun! My girlfriend said the same thing about her photography class as well. I agree, I always find it more fun just experimenting and learning on your own.

And sure, you can use any picture you want!

Have a good day!

I love Venice Beach! I have a picture of myself at one of the graffiti walls at the beach from 2009 and 2010 and it's crazy how much the walls can change within a year!
