Melrose Ave

Recently I've noticed that I pay more attention to detail than I did before I received my camera and started taking pictures. I have been to Los Angeles way more times than I could count but it wasn't until this particular time that I began to really notice the art on the buildings. I didn't want to photograph the insides of buildings this time but rather the outside.

After we headed over to Sunset Ave where went into Abe's favorite record store, Amoeba. (I swear he's obsessed!)

It's actually a pretty cool record store with hundreds of used CD’s, vinyl’s and movies.

I don't know about you guys but I'm not such a big fan of Valentine's Day (but I still like to get in the spirit anyway.) I made some Valentine's Day cards the other night at a coworker's Craft Night. I'll share them with you next time!


Do you have any plans for Valentine's Day? I'd love to know! =)

Really like the pictures of Melrose Avenue.. Isn't it funny that suddenly you start to see all the details much more than before you started photography. Same for me :)
I used to live close to Pasadena when I was younger and I always went on Melrose Ave to do some vintage shopping. Loved it there!!
Have a great weekend, Kristina

Great street shots! I find that since I've picked up photography as a hobby, I tend to notice a lot more things as well. I guess we just train our eyes to look for specific things many people do not care to see.

I hope you had a great weekend!

Man, your photos are starting to look excellent! I wouldn't mind taking a break from the disgusting weather here in the Natural State for some good ol' sunshine!

I'm not sure what I'm doing for Valentine's Day. It's my first year to have a Valentine (boyfriend) but he's 40 minutes away and I have class until 7. I think we'll end up celebrating later!

Hey you!

I have a question and I thought who best to ask than someone that actually lives in LA. We are driving route 66 and camping on the way, then spending two weeks in CA, do you know if any of the trainstations etc have lockers that we could keep our camping gear in until we move on? Sorry for the random question lol xx
