Afternoon in Santa Monica

I went to the pier with my sister Dakota that day. It was gloomy but warm, we took a bunch of portraits of each other and even got asked by a stranger if we wanted a picture together, which we gladly accepted. Also had some fun in front of the Bubba Gump restaurant, trying on Forrest’s shoes.

“Los Angeles was the kind of place where everybody was from somewhere else and nobody really dropped anchor. It was a transient place. People drawn by the dream, people running from the nightmare.” by Michael Connelly.

Loved Memories from L.A.

Throwback to my last trip in Los Angeles. My favorite hangouts are always in Santa Monica, so here’s some pics of the most amazing place in the city 🙂

Photographic memories with bestie

Last year, pretty much at this time I was in Los Angeles, and I hung out a lot with my best friend from EF Redondo Beach school. We also went to visit San Diego together, and he even tried to teach me how to take pictures of the stars at night… but it ended up being a total fail, and I honestly don’t remember any of his good advices now; still, we had fun 😀 I was thinking about our adventures, laughing to myself today, and wanted to share a couple shots he took of me & some I took of him… you know.

Help fund photography work of arts

Today I want to share the work of a friend of mine, who is a great photographer; his name is Carlos, and he makes really stunning pictures and has already exhibited & given photography related classes. He’s very involved and committed to his projects, and just created a Patreon online for support.

As you all must know, being an independent photographer is not easy, especially for funding everything you need to realize your ideas, from gear to softwares, there’s a lot that needs to be accounted for before / during & after a picture is made. But let’s all agree that in the end, it’s worth the time and efforts, particularly if you’re a talented photographer like Carlos Ramirez ― it would be a waste if he wasn’t able to explore some projects, and accomplish awesome pieces due to a lack of means.

That’s why making this Patreon is a meaningful way towards completing some of his work. If you ever thought about supporting an independent photographer, and help funding his creations, then you should absolutely check out his pictures because either way, they’re worth seeing. I’ve personally always enjoyed his photographs, and I think you would too. So, take a look down below ! I’m sharing my favorites, and don’t forget that you can find out more about this on his page :
