DTLA On Easter Sunday

Took a stroll on Easter through the dystopian city center of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States. It was supposed to be raining most of the day from yet another atmospheric river. Ended up being another beautiful LA day with the added bonus of interesting clouds with not one drop of rain. As I wandered the streets, I couldn’t help but think about how ashamed the politicians of this beautiful state should feel. On nearly every block was trash, grime, homeless and drug addicted people. It was especially glaring on this holiday as the city was less packed with people than usual. As a resident, I’d feel depressed having to see the chaos on a daily basis. For me as a street photographer, it’s a bit like paradise. Still I didn’t manage to make any stellar photos, but I did manage a few keepers.
