Kick Off a Month of Photography in Los Angeles Tonight
Photo by airbutchie via the LAist Featured Photos pool
Tonight the Month of Photography in Los Angeles kicks off (in case you were having art festival withdrawals from the end of Pacific Standard Time!).
The month-long festival means that for the month of April there are going to be a whole lot of photography exhibitions, and you might even stumble across some cool photography projections on the sides of buildings throughout the city. The theme this year is "Intersect: An Exploration of Innovation and Technology in Contemporary Photography." There's a full calendar of events here, but we'll let you know about many of them as they come up.
This evening you can meet up with a crew of local photography fans at Bergamot Station and go on a (free!) photography crawl through some of the exhibits. Here's the line-up for tonight:
