LA Street Photo Workshop 2020

Traveling with Derrick Story, The Nimble Photographer, I had the opportunity to attend a street photography workshop in LA right around the time of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. I've never seen LA so empty but it was fascinating to see and shoot. We shot Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier & Beach, Hollywood and Santee Alley (The Fashion District) in LA. Derrick is a wonderful educator and great photographer and we learned so much from him. Thanks to Derrick, I am bolder in approaching people and asking to take their photo. Street photography is very different and not really my favorite, but I really did have fun and I look forward to expanding my skill set in this area. Thanks Derrick!
