Los Angeles best place to live, I m just saying this because I was born here and I have never lived anywhere else, but I wouldn't be apposed to living somewhere new. One of my favorite areas currently is the Arts District their is so much art wall murals and cant help it to feel attracted to this place. I took my kids for a small photo shoot if you have any kids and want to take nice pictures its a hard but very possible with lots of breaks and some ice cream in between. Sundays is a good tome to find free parking since loading zones and meter are free its still busy with people but not so much you cant get in a decent picture.I took my Nikon D3000 its a bit old but I have some lenses for it I used 50mm and also took pictures with my Iphone 7 plus beautiful camera always get great shots with it.
