I’m flying to Los Angeles this week to spend about seven days photographing the city and surrounds. This is an annual trip to update my image files and it is no coincidence that this time of year is chosen.

Unlike the typically bleak North East during winter months, the light is good most of the year in Southern California. LA is the epicenter of the film industry in the United States for good reason.

I’ll just happen to be there during the Oscars so I leave you with this photograph of Hollywood Boulevard taken on a previous trip.
