5 Best Photo-Ops In LA
Simone Decker

If you're like me, then you live for any opportunity to take a unique photo to match your social media aesthetic. I'm especially on the lookout for perfect photo-ops when I am dressed up, or when my makeup looks extra nice. I often have the opportunity to capture photos with interesting murals, or art work as the background. LA is full of art walls, and around almost every corner there is something to function as a background for photos. So, if you live in or near LA, or are planning on visiting LA, then here is my guide to the best backgrounds.


1. The Heart of Los Angeles Wall

This piece can be found in various locations throughout LA, but the one I visited was at Angel City Brewery, which is very close to the Downton Urth Caffe location. This one is a little high, so I would recommend taking the picture from a bit of a distance to get the full effect. The building that this piece is on will block of the sun, so make sure you come when the Sun is high in the sky, or setting!

2. Love Wall by Curtis Kulig (Smashbox Studios, 8549 Higuera St. (at Hayden Avenue), Culver City)

This one is totally Instagram-worthy for someone has a bright aesthetic! The bright red is perfect to contrast with a dark colored outfit! This wall is just (lovable)!


3. Colette Miller Angel Wings!

If you follow some trendy people on Instagram, then chances are pretty good that you've already seen these! This piece is one of the most popular photo-op spots, and for good reason! The Global Angel Wing Project by Colette Miller has covered the globe, including installations in Melbourne, and Paris! These wings were created to remind the world that humans are the angels of the Earth! Thanks, Colette Miller! This installation can also be found various places around the city, but the most popular spot if probably at St. Regis Wine & Liquor, 8401 W. 3rd St. (at S. Orlando Avenue), Beverly Grove.


4. Made in LA Art Wall!

This spot is perfect for any aesthetic, and is even better if you in fact actually were made in LA. Super trendy, and stylish!


5. Glendale Galleria Plant Wall!

This next one isn't exactly an art installation, but it is a very fresh aesthetic backdrop for photos! This is a wall of hanging plants on the exterior of the Galleria! Just outside of JCPenny, and Victoria's Secret, this wall screams Earth Friendly!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
