Hometown Highlights: I Love L.A.!

Guest Contribution by: Ian Docdocil

Hello! I’m not one for writing too much, but I’d like to share this little Time Lapse project that I made about Los Angeles, CA. As I’m sure you already know, the West Coast in general, and Southern California in particular, is home to the majority of the Pilipino-American population here in the U.S. As a matter of fact, according to the 2000 U.S. Census, nearly half a million (or almost one out of every four Pilipinos) live in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas.

I just recently got into photography, and I was able to make this Time Lapse video clip of some of my more interesting pictures. I shot this with a Canon t1i (500D), and this video is comprised of 7,373 pictures altogether. The music is Chevalier De Sangreal, by Hanz Zimmer.   

Just in case you were wondering where these places are, here’s the list of locations:

• The Cove in Palos Verdes
• Griffith Observatory
• moon in Lomita
• 110 Freeway off of Carson Street
• factory in Wilmington
