Analog Photography: Los Angeles, California — Part 2
Michael Neal

In my previous article I talked about a lot of shots I took in BW in LA on film. Shooting color is different to me, and I choose my subject matter differently. I also try to select film stocks based on factors like time of day, weather, and what mood I'm in. Because of that, it allows me to feel inspired to shoot different types of material.

Whoop whoop, here we go.

Of course, I'm shooting the architecture around the area. One thing I love is getting different tones in the same shots, and I loved the cool and warm tones from different reflective sections of the side of this building.

Michael Neal

Again, I loved the leading lines and the spacing of this building. It's just really nice.

Michael Neal

Switching things up, I liked this graffiti as a street shot. It's cluttered but has a lot of attitude, as opposed to the cleaner architectural shots.

Michael Neal

I stopped to shoot this frame because I find reflective surfaces to be interesting, and the lamp being framed inside the water made for an interesting composition.

Michael Neal

Palm trees, of course. Always shoot these. I liked the sky rendering in this shot due to the emulsion.

Michael Neal

I liked the symmetry of the windows here, and although the lens distortion is evident, I also liked how organic that made the shot.

Michael Neal

Reflections, eh? Yeah, I liked the composition here with the mirror reflecting back the side of the structure.

Michael Neal

It's the boys. I like taking candids of people on trips.

Michael Neal

This shot is just a big mood. It's also close to one of my favorite restaurants in Hollywood.

Michael Neal

Speaking of big moods, I love LA. I wanted to keep the trees cropped tight, which then caused me to clip off the top of the building. The vibe of this shot though really pleases me.

Michael Neal

I liked this little statue in Little Tokyo, and it felt like a good cliche "travel shot."

Michael Neal

I'll end this article with this awesome selfie.

As anyone should know, LA is a really culturally rich place to visit, and I highly recommend it. Don't forget your camera!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
