Outside one of my favorite spots in DTLA….it’s next door to The Rosslyn, an old school SRO that’s home to an assortment of people that are just endlessly fascinating to me….I could stand here for days and remain interested enough to pick up my camera again and again. And the stories I hear, the situations that pop up, the drug sales, desperate behavior, scenes that can only play out in downtown Los Angeles. But it’s changed mightily in the past year + since I’ve set foot here….so many crazy expensive lofts, trendy restaurants, more newfangled hipster stereotypes than I can count. All of it working to bore and frustrate me.
