Last Sunday we made a family trip to Venice Beach, CA. It was 5 years ago when we were there last time; it was during my brother’s visit from Hungary.
This place was a very interesting, eclectic place back then too, but it felt even more unusual to me now. Lots of buildings were boarded up, restaurants/street food stands were closed, and the homeless population has boomed since the last time we were there.
Since this was a family walk, I shot pictures with my Burnside 35 lens. I find this lens useful when I am not on my own shooting schedule, and I only have short times to stop and focus on something before I take the picture.
You can find interesting stores, craft booths and people on this board walk. I really liked this artist’s work:
And these were awesome as well.
It was super fun watching the skate boarders do their amazing tricks.
We also watched a very skilled street performance.
WARNING! The following images will give you a good insight into what kind of merchandise you’ll find on the Venice Beach board walk, but they might not be very tasteful for all of you.
Good bye Venice Beach!
