J.J. L’Heureux

Venice Beach is a neighborhood in West Los Angeles that is rich in images jammed together almost wherever one looks. While on a simple walk to the post office, grocery store or the famous Venice Canals I walk through a variety of extreme environments. It is a place of many specialists where a park can be traffic jammed with skateboards a few strides from the “walk streets” named for the one sidewalk that tunnels between architecturally enhanced houses silent, cool and dank. Despite my daily preoccupations, worries and fears there is always a sight that makes me forget everything and smile, Venice Beach is my daily changing treasure chest.
