EM: Occupation and Position

Photographer / Graphic Designer / Videographer
Self-Employed

EM: What neighborhood do you closely identify with?  What makes your community so unique?
Redondo Beach / South Bay.  I don’t know if I will ever be able to leave this place.  Its just close enough to LA that I can be there in 20 min, Hollywood in 30 or just about anywhere in a short time.  Close enough, but NOT IN LA.  Don’t get me wrong- I like the hustle and bustle of the city, but only in small doses.
