Santa Monica is now a very trendy city by the Pacific Ocean. There is a section called the 3rd Street Prominade that is open to pedestrian traffic only where many wealthy, hip people gather and street performers congregate. I prefer to shoot the less thought of aspect of the place, gritty city filled with homeless and the weary folks that others don't seem to notice.
