I went on a quick trip to Los Angeles to cross off a bucket list item, watching a Celtics-Lakers game in-person. The Lakers lost because they’re a dumpster fire this season. Sad *Trump voice*
Anyway, with so little time available, I tried to make the most of it. I took my girl with me and we covered a ton of ground. As always, here’s some of the faces and views I caught through my lens. Hope you enjoy,
Shouts to John from Korea for letting me snap this photo of his jacket while we stopped inside his store in the fashion district.
Aight peace.
