Tried my best to capture the sunset and the cars passing by.

Stole my sister's phone to take a photo of this cool view of the city from Griffith Observatory.

On the way to grab dinner in my sister's neighborhood.

I found this assignment kind of stressful because this week was very busy for me. I went to LA for a huge church event and participated in a gospel choir, which was really fun. The only problem is that it occupied a lot of my time, and I struggled to juggle my assignments and all the choir practices and sound checks we had. I was honestly super overwhelmed. Thankfully, I still managed to get a few photos. I took the first one on the plane ride to LA. I find the city lights so pretty from above. There is a slight phone glare reflected in the window from the person sitting next to me but I did my best to minimize it. The second photo was taken on Thanksgiving Day, outside my friend's AirBnB. I attempted to capture the sky and the long exposure of the cars passing by. For the third one, I borrowed my sister's phone to capture the stunning view of the city from Griffith Observatory. I felt like I could not capture this amazing place with my old iPhone XR. Lastly, the fourth photo was taken today as my sister and I walked to dinner. She's currently living in LA because she goes to school here. It was nice to explore her neighborhood. I thought the lights and neon purple light coming off the wall would make for a good photo.
