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!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
