Walt Disney Concert Hall

Here are a few shots I took of the WD Concert Hall since it was right next door to The Broad.

The Broad

Last week, a few friends and myself went to the new contemporary art museum in DTLA.  I've been dying to go because the art actually looks contemporary and way out of the box.  It's only been open about two months so it's brand new.  It's in the music district of downtown, right next to the Walt Disney Concert Hall.  I had quite a few favorites such as the giant table with chairs and the giant balloon dog animal.  I also loved this photo series about art gazers....what art viewers look like while examining works of art.  I did not photograph the area with those photographs though.  If you're interested in seeing them the admission to The Broad is free!  There were also a few dark rooms dedicated for showing videos...very odd videos in my opinion but still interesting.  I also really enjoyed the infinity mirror room.  We had to wait over four hours to go inside and once inside, you're only allowed 45 seconds. Not much time to take the amount of photos I wanted with both camera and phone but managed to snap a few before getting kicked out.  In the infinity mirror shot, you can see obviously the mirrors and the LED lights surrounding the room but what may be hard to see is the floor is submerged in water.  Only a small area where visitors can stand without falling in.  Very interesting concept and also made me a little dizzy.  I hit my head on the lights when walking out due to that dizziness so if you do go, please be careful!  The art was impressive but the architecture alone was enough to make me want to drive all the way downtown and endure LA traffic.  Beautiful building outside as well as the ceilings inside.  The whole museum was lit by natural light due to the way the ceiling was made.  I have photos of it below.  I found myself more interested in the architecture than the art most of the time.  Anyways...enjoy the photos and here is the link to the museum if you're interested in going.   www.thebroad.org

Tea Party

I went to my first ever Tea Party the other week.  My friend, Cassidy, is moving to Durham, England for Grad school and this was her going away party.  Cassidy was the first friend I made when I moved to California and although I hate to see her go, I couldn't be more excited for her.  I know she is going to fit right in!  Best of luck to my new UK friend!

Dixie Classic Fair

Since I was already home for the weddings last weekend,  I thought I'd stop by my hometown fair since it's always the first weekend in October every year.  I have gone to this fair every year since I was a kid!  I love riding the rides, playing those lame games and eating amazing food.  I usually get a foot long corndog and an elephant ear!  Here are some pics from the fair last weekend!

Weddings

Last weekend, I flew home to NC for two weddings.  Here are a couple shots from both I took with my iPhone.  The first photo was my sad attempt at using a selfie stick, never used one before and I'm hoping it'll be my last!

Labor Day Weekend

Here are some other photos from their trip taken from my iPhone.

Labor Day Weekend

A couple weeks ago, two of my best friends from back home, flew out to LA to visit me for the weekend.  We did most of the typical tourists stuff like Rodeo Drive, Venice, Santa Monica Pier, Manhattan Beach and Hollywood Walk of Fame.  One thing I actually hadn't done that I was saving for this trip was hike to the Hollywood sign.  Let me know it's one of the hardest workouts of my life, mostly because of how hot it was.  It was three miles from the car, uphill to the sign and three miles back.  It was probably close to 90 degrees that day, so I was quickly melting away. When we got to the end of the hike, we weren't really that close to the sign and I was super disappointed.  I wish we would have walked before the sign honestly.  Regardless I got a great workout in and my best friends loved it!  This was a once in a lifetime trip for them so I tried to make it as memorable as possible and do as much as we could in four short days.  Here are a couple shots I did from the hike.  

Insane Talent

This is one of the most refreshing dance routines I've seen in a very long time.  Brilliant choreography and amazing talent.  Love the idea of meeting and connecting with a stranger in a subway.  STUNNING.

A good friend of mine who is trying to break into the acting industry, needed new headshots done. He's an amazing actor and I'm sure you'll know his name soon enough so here is his face!
