great entry! you really convey the strong sense of place in these photos. i've seen venice beach portrayed in movies and video games, but never before has it been "real" to me.

wow, venice beach looks pretty amazing! i would expect it to be kind of cheesy, but this shit looks real. seems like the authorities don't care about people tagging up the beach....is there some kind of unspoken agreement about that?

thanks! i don't really know how/why things work over there but its definitely different than most other beach areas in la..

those are tagging walls the cops dont give a shit what happens there. Taggers will sometimes take your cans if your not from around here

biff: you should've seen the 5 seagulls that were staring me down while I was eating pizza.. they looked pretty homicidal, not to much mention fat

Your photos really convey Venice as I remember it.

Greatest place on the planet, my utopia. I was just wishing I was there the other day...a mental vacation from the Afghan mountains.

There are canals in Venice (CALI) , but it is a residential area a little walking ways from the "boardwalk" (the area you see in the pictures).

Your photos are dark and ominous. There is so much life and movement when you normally go there. Sunshine. Performers galore, freaks, opportunists, and gawkers. Blondes scantily clad on rollerblades. So much noise and motion surrounding you. Not to mention the muscle types working out.
Interesting perspective.
