Hey y’all!

It’s been a couple of years since I have been here, but The Getty Center in Los Angeles is still as amazing as I remember it. Just off of the 405 freeway, The Getty Center sits on a hilltop in the Santa Monica Mountains. Visitors are greeted by the breathtaking views of LA, the Pacific Ocean, and San Gabriel Mountains. The modern architecture and the extraordinary garden coupled with magnificent Western art collection from the Middle Ages to the present creates a dynamic environment full of beauty and awe. It is a fantastic place to spend the entire day experiencing the sights, sounds, and scents of what The Getty Center has to offer.

I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to photograph a couple of my good friends here at The Getty Center. Dephanie and Willie promised to take me out for yummy food if I took a few nice pictures for them to put on their wall. The Getty Center, great friends, AND food?? Let me tell you, this was not a hard decision for me.

Check out a few of the shots we got from that beautiful day!

I used texture I got from tofurious.com to help add a little something to this detail shot of their rings.

“You are here.” What a place to be at in life, right?

What a passionate kiss against the cleft-cut Italian travertine.

What an exciting day! To fill up our empty stomachs, we headed to the Silver Lake neighborhood to dine at El Caserio. It’s an Ecuadorean-Italian spot that really hits the spot when you want a familiar taste with a twist. If you go, I recommend the llapingachos con fritada (cheese-filled potato patties with roast pork ribs). It’s amazing!

Hope you’ve enjoyed our day at The Getty Center! Stay tuned for more posts!

Cheers,

Danny
