Northwest San Pedro
Last year I spent the day driving around Los Angeles with a couple of photography friends. As we arrived at the Korean Friendship Bell I shot this picture while my buddy shot his composition standing next to me! I honestly didn't care for this picture when it was shot and we were going to reshoot during a sunset at a later date...then my friend died and I have found a different level of appreciation for this picture! I will always remember his generosity, crazy sense of humor, and his love for his two children! RIP Thomas Allen Gartner III
