Koreatown on Ilford HP5 PLUS

Koreatown Los Angeles is the most densely populated neighborhood in LA. You’d think it would be flooded with people taking photos, but I very rarely saw anyone doing this. I lived there with my better half in early 2021. It was the height of Covid and I was pretty bad at taking photos. These are my favorites of the many rolls of film I shot back then. Most were taken in harsh lighting. They are grimy and grainy. I like the look, much more now than initially. I think as I mature as a photographer, the more I appreciate mood and content over perfection.
