I need to find a good place for some professional quality pictures

Anyone have any ideas? In or around the Valley/LA/OC, don't really care.


I'm thinking anywhere with torn down buildings and graffiti, but anything cool can work.



Any ideas?

I'm thinking about heading to downtown LA on Saturday morning / Sunday to get pics.

If you want nice beach pics, try hitting up Zuma and all that stuff or along Latigo canyon during the day. There's a few turnouts that have the ocean as the background.

Maybe in Downtown by the LA river? There's a huge red line railyard on 4th street. There's nothing graffiti down there. I'm sure if you find a small road by the river, you could park and snap some cool photos.

I want to hit up Old Town Pasadena when it isn't busy to get some pics too.

Or in front of Walt Disney Concert Hall.

We should make a BF.c California photoshoot location on Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/mymaps/add.html

But yeah, LA Harbor is solid. Long Beach, Malibu, Hermosa have some good beach backgrounds too. Just drive around and find an area thats a bit elevated from the rest of the parking lot--it gives the impression that your car is near the ocean/sand instead of in a parking lot.

That 2nd pic would be very good if that dumpster wasnt attached to the car.
