Los Angeles, CA | Minolta Maxxum 7000 | Ilford HP5

I remember Los Angeles.

I remember the souls lost in pursuit of a dream —
or the green
we sometimes call cream.

Dreams are lost in the screams of passion.
Always fading from fashion -
trying to stay relevant, everlasting.

But look to the sky and untrain your eye —
relish in your story, even if it’s a lie.

The shoes that hang make you remember why we always try —
it’s all for a memory we want to reapply.

Let out your sigh —
don’t forget why.
We will always cry for that we even tried.

Call it dry, fall to your knees —
that’s just love and life in Los Ang-eles.
