Andria’s here for an unexpected day on her way to Asia. What to do but take photos? Shot on my old Petri camera, 35mm.

The Los Angeles Grove fountains with water jets arcing gracefully into the air, surrounded by lush green trees and dappled sunlight. A stone bridge with the words "The Grove" etched into the side spans the fountain’s edge, and café umbrellas and tables are visible in the background, creating a serene, vibrant atmosphere.

andria isn’t in this one, sorry

Andria sitting on the edge of a fountain railing at The Grove, her tan legs elegantly crossed. She wears a breezy white tank top that shows off her toned shoulders and gray shorts. Her hair is tied back, and she looks directly at the camera, smiling warmly while wearing round sunglasses that reflect the sunlight. The cascading water and lush greenery frame her perfectly.

there she is

Another angle of Andria sitting on the fountain railing, this time with her head tilted slightly and her smile broader. The trees and water jets in the background enhance the sunlit composition, with her effortless pose making the photo feel like a casual but professional portrait. A slightly shifted pose of Andria on the railing, with her legs angled differently and her hand resting lightly on the stone. She looks forward for her, off to the side, her face in profile. The flowing water and green canopy in the backdrop add depth to the shot. A vertically oriented shot of Andria perched on the railing, her figure emphasized against the sunlight. The symmetry of the fountains, along with the clear summer sky filtering through the branches, highlights her as the focal point amidst the vibrant setting.A reflection of Andria in a cracked mirror found on the sidewalk, the spiderweb-like fractures creating an abstract pattern over her image. The focus is on the broken glass, with Andria’s form blurred and distorted in the background, adding an artistic and fragmented quality. A re-focused shot of Andria through the cracked mirror, this time with her image sharp and clear. She gazes away from the camera, her soft blonde hair tied back and her white tank top glowing in the sunlight. The broken glass adds texture to the serene and introspective feel of the photo. Andria reflected in the cracked mirror again, now looking back towards the camera. Her expression is confident yet cryptic, and the interplay of light, reflection, and the fractured mirror makes the photo feel layered and dynamic, with her body parts not all aligning due to the different angles of the glass. Andria sitting cross-legged in the sandy expanse near the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA. Behind her, palm trees line the walkway, their tall forms stretching towards the sky, while the massive Levitated Mass rock sculpture stands prominently in the distance. She’s wearing the same white top and shorts, her calm, centered pose adding to the balanced composition. Another shot of Andria in the same sandy setting near the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the La Brea Tar Pits, this time holding her hands up in a framing gesture towards the camera. Her playful smirk and slightly tilted head give the photo an energetic vibe, while the palm trees and iconic Levitated Mass rock sculpture remain a quintessential Los Angeles backdrop. Andria standing confidently under the Levitated Mass installation at LACMA. She wears a loose white sleeveless top with delicate straps and light blue denim shorts that show off her toned legs. A pastel-colored camera case with a subtle floral design hangs around her neck. The minimal concrete walls of the tunnel contrast with the soft lighting that highlights her skin and the structure’s sleek railing design. Andria modeling in front of the iconic pink wall on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Her white tank top and denim shorts accentuate her casual yet stylish look. Her arms are outstretched, and she leans slightly to one side, smiling confidently behind round sunglasses. The bright pink wall provides a vibrant, trendy backdrop, emphasizing her radiant presence. Andria sitting gracefully on a set of stone steps surrounded by lush greenery in West Hollywood. She leans slightly forward, her legs angled to one side, wearing the same white top and shorts. The curved trunk of a large tree frames the background, along with ferns and other plants cascading over the stone walls. Natural light filters through the foliage, creating a mysterious and inviting setting. Andria seated on the same steps in West Hollywood, this time with her head slightly tilted downward and her legs spread slightly apart. Her body is turned more towards the camera, adding a new edge to the pose. The rich textures of the stones and plants complement her relaxed, self-assured demeanor. Andria standing slightly blurred against a background of evergreen trees and a rustic red wall. She wears a navy blue jumpsuit with a subtle white patterned print that hugs her body. Her long blonde hair falls softly over her shoulders, and her relaxed, off-guard expression adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The soft lighting enhances the natural tones in the scene. Andria leaning casually against a narrow white pole in an alleyway lined with vines and flowers. The same navy blue and white jumpsuit highlights her figure as she gazes downward with an introspective expression. The sunlight filters through the greenery, casting soft shadows on the ground, while the textured wall and fence in the background adds depth. Andria standing confidently in a parking lot, wearing the navy blue and white jumpsuit with zipper detail. Her arms hang naturally by her sides, and her blonde hair flows freely in the sunlight. The background includes parked cars and palm trees, capturing the Southern California vibe. She has a steady, serious look on her sunlit face.

I love it when out-of-town friends drop by for an unexpected day or two. While they vacation, it’s like I get to vacation a little bit around the city too. And Andria is one of the best photography subjects ever–such an amazing model. It was so much fun showing her The Grove and the Tar Pits, the Levitated Mass, WeHo, the palm trees and the sun.

She can come back any time for another couple rounds and rolls of film.
