Melrose Avenue Hollywood, California

My good buddy Gene Tjin invited me to a gallery opening by Estevan Oriol which was down the street from my place on Melrose. All the photos in this post are thanks to Gene Tjin since he beat me by a few days on his blog post and I liked his photographs. Here are some images from inside the gallery.

Some of his work was truely amazing to look at and I love the simplistic elements of his photography. In today’s highly photoshopped and over post production days of photography it was great to look at some nice black/white prints. I learned some fun stuff about Estevan Oriol as well including how he toured with Cypress Hill back in the day. Thanks again to Gene Tjin for the invite to the gallery and the pictures from his blog! Gene Tjin is a fellow automotive photographer and he currently work at MagnaFlow Exhausts.
