#DTLA #Lurking - Pt.1

'Sup world!? Many thanks for visiting this here blog o' mine! I'll spare you the long version and abbreviate the story behind this set of pictures... Some of the ILUMN8 fam was getting together to break bread, in Little Tokyo, one night last month. Some business was spoken, but most of the conversation at the dinner table wasn't about business. After dinner, drinks, some smoke, and a lot of laughs, we split back up into the groups and pairs that we arrived, bid one another good night, and we headed out onto our separate adventures. Which brings me to the shots I'm sharing today. Obviously, this is where my adventure took me that night. ...high and low through the streets of DTLA. From J-Town, to the 101, to City Hall, to some rooftops over 3rd street, and back to "Pearl"(..my truck). Here are some shot's from my Friday night lurk through DTLA, for you to enjoy. Check back soon for more Bsombin'!

My poetic depth

"Implosion"

Frozen desert &

Arctic oasis

...they found my

Sediment in sentiment's aftermath,

Before beginning to

Implement their icy ways on my

Blackened fragments

Their's was a forced assimilation,

Brought by void's embrace,

Which demanded I be force fed insecurities

By rejection's tundra and

Solitudes abyss

As arteries turned to winter streams,

During the decomposition of my corner stone,

The absence of sunshine invaded my tomorrows and besieged my fortified

Bliss;

Sympathy forced her gravity to invert it's pull and crystallized into a toxic

Shrapnel embedded in my sense of self and subconscious; &

My failure's echos set off the avalanche that buried my will to continue

Then, just as

My moon began to sink into bitterness' black ice,

The last drop of

Sunshine that my heart had left inside

Dripped over my third eye...

Suddenly, this abomination imploded,

Forgetting my regrets and lamentations, as

Selflessness replaced the frozen eyes I was blinded by &

Mended the wounds that had been inflicted by greed and gluten,

Then compassion and empathy grew out of depression and apathy...

The black ice was replaced by red magma & the bitter wrath transformed to

Sweet affection

...Once broken and cold,

Now solid & fiery...

Never again will heart ache's frost settle on my

Summery soul, now that it burns full of love's wisdom & understanding!

Location scouting in DTLA. - Pt.1

'Sup world?! Thanks for checkin' out my blog! Although currently living in the San Fernando Valley, a lot of my time is spent in D.T.L.A. ...From business meetings, to family events, to days and nights spent shooting the city, I find myself in downtown Los Angeles often. The bunch of pics I'm sharing today are some of what I collected on a day of location scouting. Not gonna get into why I was scouting out locations just yet. What I will say is that joining the ILUMN8 family has made me a much busier person! I'll be sharing more of what I have been working on with ILUMN8, on my site blog and on the the ILUMN8 website's blog. As for this blog, I'll just share some of my favorite pics from another day spent shooting DTLA...
