I think this was the first place I lived when I moved to Los Angeles from San Diego seven or eight years ago. To the outsider, Los Angeles is just Los Angeles. If you’re from San Diego, anything north of Camp Pendleton is considered Los Angeles; if you live in Colorado, anyone from California is from Los Angeles. It’s all the same for most people but very different for those who live here.

Culver City is this unique little niche in Los Angeles and has become a pretty cool city in the last few years. When I first moved here, nothing was interesting except Sony Pictures Studios, where many of my friends worked. Today, there are a few awesome restaurants and bars mixed in and around the few dumpy movie theaters, and it’s a pretty cool place to hang out. Tonight, I went to Tender Greens for dinner.

My weapon of choice is the FujiX100T set to Jpeg Monochrome+R. Only the interiors were set to Monochrome. For exteriors, I shot RAW and then converted it to Monochrome+G in post.
