A set of different subjects I found interesting while exploring. If you run out of ideas for projects, try photographing signs and numbers. Its good practice for framing and exposure. ~ Los Angeles, California ~ #streetsigns #numbers #film

The first image is of the sun starting to go down over a mounting top. The 2nd-4th images did not turnout well enough, so I edited them to give a surreal and abstract look. The 4th, obviously, I added the stars and sky. ~ Santa Barbara, California ~ #film #sunset #abstractart
