People are strange when you’re a stranger……..
Yesturday I took a trip to Venice Beach, The sun was shining and the weather was sweet, it was a great day to go to the beach, I knew there would be lots to photograph there, If you want to check out a wild beach in California go to Venice. I hadn’t been for a while- there is so much to look at there and I wasnt the only one with a camera, I saw sooo many people with their cameras.
If you have been or go in the future you are sure to see many of the same people I photographed….The guy above I know I’ve seen before….
Going to this beach it almost feels like I dreamed it and all the people who were there, it just has that weird vibe like a dream does…. I think of that song by the doors….People are strange when your a stranger, faces look ugly when your alone……you know the song- that song always reminds me of the movie Lost Boys, which much of takes place on a boardwalk…(the twighlight/ new moon of my day:) R.I.P. Corey Haim….I had so many posters of him on my wall when I was like 10…
There are people selling everything here, this man was burning this design into a piece of wood using only the heat from the sun and a magnifying glass, I thought this was pretty cool! I would have bought it from him if I hadn’t spent all my money before I even arrived at the beach…
Speaking of The Doors….Jimi Hendrix was performing- one of my favorites…He was singing one of my favorites too….Red House, too bad his amp was just ridiculous…
Anyone have Coulrophobia??? An abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. Me either…
A skaters dream… right on the beach, what more could a kid ask for… check it out: Venice Beach Skate Park
This kid below was skating with a wheel under each foot attatched to this tiny metal peice that he just gripped onto, leaving him free to move his feet seperately like roller skates but sideways, he was gliding and flying all over the place! I have never seen anything like this, it looked pretty hard to do, soo cool…
Took a break on the bleechers to watch these guys…. venice beach basketball check out the website.
It was a good day…
