four white walls photography

Venice Beach, California offers world class people watching. A weird mix of local people, tourists, surfers, foreigners and freaks give Venice Beach an international feel, that can’t be found anywhere else. From local guy/homeless guy sleeping on the grass in the sun, with his faithful dog watching over him. To an old school Mr. T Style Guy posing for tourist.

I paid old Mister T five dollars to pose for my photos and an extra five to pose for two pinhole photographs for Sheila. He made ten bucks off us for posing for less than five minutes. He had the most curious teeth, his front incisors were pushed in and he had extra long K-9’s that looked like vampire teeth. When he smiled, while he was taking my money, it looked like something he had done to his teeth intentionally. It reminded me of a time, when I was in high school, that I had went to Venice Beach and saw a homeless guy who had pointy ears like Mr. Spock. They looked like they had been cut with scissors, not very symmetrical and rather crudely done. If only I would have had my camera with me….
