HappyLens: March 2011

There was a time where I came to the conclusion, that I would go around from city to city with me and just my camera. Setting up my SLR just the way I like it, finding a spot to get the perfect frame and then handing my love to a complete stranger to snap a picture of me all the while crossing my fingers that they got the shot I envision in my head and in just one click. OH and of course hoping that they don't jet off with my camera! I did this A LOT on my "path to independence trip" when I traveled (via Megabus!) to D.C and New York all by myself. Handing over my Rebel to someone I will probably never see again, was tough, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get that perfect shot =)
Somehow, Somewhere, Someone heard my cry and sent me these lovely girls in a nicely wrapped package called OT school. Finally, I had people to share my interesting interests with. We spent all day in the city, being stared at by some weirdoes and also being mistaken for tourists (fyi, all of us have grown up in so. cal). We took pictures from every possible angle and experimented with some fun filters. Together we created long lasting memories that will last well more than 500 days.

This was a field trip to Downtown Los Angeles and we found all the spots you never knew existed unless you were Tom Hansen finding his happiness by loving a girl who was all wrong for him. (500) Days of Summer, is one of my favorite films, from the perfectly picked cast, to the wonderful cinematography and the capturing "this is not a love story" plot. The girls and I had the most picturesque day making scenes of this movie a reality.

Enjoy this HappyLens production of (500) days of the Spring Break OTs
