Downtown Boogie Woogie

Mondrian was one of my first favorite painters, so it's not surprise I love the sprawling grid of los angeles. I cannot imagine anything more quiet and beautiful than flying away from LAX on a crisp, clear night like this. Climbing over the ocean before dipping around to catch a sweeping view of the city - trying to trace the streets back to your neighborhood, trying to find the globe above VKC tower (go trojans!) or the Staples Center on a game night... this is not from a grand departure, but rather from another quiet place. Another time though...
