This past Saturday, me and the homie Andy went to the Annenberg Space for Photography in Culver City. There’s an event called Photoville LA, which originated in New York and has made its way to LA for the first time in 7 years! This was perfect for me, since I haven’t been to a photography exhibit in many years and could use some inspiration. The event was outdoors and cold that day, so bring a blanket and dress warm if you do visit. The cool thing about this event was the representation of Los Angeles and its culture- From the classic lowriders to the family hardships of living in the ghetto to the success stories of overcoming life’s battles, it is very inspiring for anyone to visit.
Also, there’s a featured exhibit called Contact High: A Visual History of Hip Hop. This is inside the Annenberg building and if you’re a fan of hip hop, I strongly recommend visiting this! There’s a short film that includes the behind- the- scenes stories of the most iconic pictures ever taken by photographer.
Visiting this place was definitely worth the drive. I’m planning on visiting again so if you want to join me, let me know!
Peace,
JT
