Bradbury Building

I feel like Bradbury Building is kind of a surprise.  Coming from outside, the exterior seems just like its surrounding, but when you walk into the building, it is one of those things who give you the WOW and get you gobsmacked.

Fun fact bout it: The final design was done by just a young Architect Draftsman George Wyman.

Every single interior elements complement each other; the beautiful ironwork, brick walls, and terra cotta details. The skylight itself is a brilliant idea to bring natural sunshine into the building, which indirectly connects outside with inside.

Just go check it out at 304 South Broadway Street, in downtown LA. It is now the LAPD office, so make sure to be there before 6, otherwise you will not make it to the inside. And you will thank me later!

 

love this stair railing detail !

beautiful terra cotta detail in Renaissance style

Instameets with Purpose because We Care

You know, it was a sunny and warm day in California last Saturday, in this wintertime. What could be better than that? Instameet made it all perfect! 

I gotta say I really had a good time on the Instameet held by @samciurdar and @amandaseeyoudarrr in Corona, CA. What is so special bout this is that not only I got to meet new people and make friends, we all collected more than 70 blankets for the homeless people! Isn't that just sweet? ❤️❤️❤️

Also, I am just beyond lucky to meet these two adorable girls that adopted me into their beloved family, @isis.lopezz and @mishelle.b, they are just #SODARLING and #SOLOVELY. I cannot get any happier to meet other cool peeps with their amazing photography skills as well! 

(I think I better learn and catch up, huh? haha)

Anddd it still got better than that. In just 48 hours I got new 250+ followers and my first Instameet group photo, captured by @samciurdar, hit over 1,7k likes! Isn't that crazy? Literally gobsmacked

And YOU guys, if you never go to one, you must do! :)
