BLOG #23: Annenberg Space of Photography Presents Photoville LA & Contact High: A Visual History of Hip Hop.

For the first time in its 7-year span of existence- Photoville landed in Los Angeles, CA. Created by the United Photo Industries and presented by the Annenberg Space of Photography- this was a massive interactive exhibition- with its photo cubes, light boxes, shipping containers, work shops, night time projections, and live talks by some of the most influential photographers. This festival was not to be missed by any photography junkie. Located outside the Annenberg Space of Photography lawn area & surrounded by high rise buildings in the middle of L.A, this really set a beautiful display for the exhibition itself. I had so much fun walking around, exhibiting works of many talented photographers, eating delicious food, and snapping some shots myself. I loved the experience so much I found myself revisiting the exhibition a few times. I captured some photographs of my experience. Enjoy.
