LA Burning Man Decompression

How do I describe this night…I didn’t expect to see that many 40+ year old hardcore hippies.  Every other person must’ve been on SOMETHING. Going to go back next year for sure….and I really want to go to the real Burning Man in Black Rock Desert!!!!  Unfortunately we got there at sundown so we weren’t able to get pictures of all the crazy costumes but it was still an entertaining night. Great beats, light exhibits, and fire shows. I’m disappointed they didn’t actually burn..a man.

Highlight of the night, talking to a grandpa who without a doubt was trippin on acid. Him and his posse were sitting in one of those old school hippie VW buses decked out in black light and neon flower-shaped pillows.

Him in a slow, creepy voice: “Can you help me?”
Me: “What’s wrong?”
Him: “We lost our puppy….can you help me find it? I’ll give you cand-yyyyyyy.”

They didn’t actually have a puppy. Trippppppin…

at the entrance, we were greeted by this and hugs from strangers

crazy eyes

some of the ladies and I decided to hit up the DTLA artwalk last night.  it was…..interesting. a lot of different galleries across a couple blocks and hundreds of people just chillin. I think i was more amused with all the street performers and cute dogs than the actual art. peace out!

These dancers can seriously do da do da do da dancing. I went to shoot the Choreographer’s Carnival at the Key Club last night and saw some great performances. From hip hop to ballet, funk to modern, it was overall an entertaining night. It’s cool that they have this monthly event to allow choreographers and dancers to express themselves without constraints. Here are some of many shots, enjoy!
