I would love to shoot in downtown LA, this must be photographers paradise. I havent been there for a looooong time but East LA really insprired me even back in 70 ies and early 80 ties, actually the whole of the greater LA district did, but at that time it was not as trendy as it is now, but still as dangerous. I hung out quite a lot in Hollywood too, used to live in a motel on Alvarado .... interesting place to be at that time ....
