Photo LA 2015

The 24th edition of Photo LA opened last night and will run till January 18th. It is being held at the LA Mart on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.
Go to their webpage at www.photola.com for ticket information.
This year's Photo LA was another hit and should be a great success.
It is also a great event for the beginning collector to find some deals on some amazing photo works. I enjoyed seeing a vast diversity of photos including lots of music and photojournalism images. Most of the galleries have fine tuned and are showing images that reflect what Angelenos want to see and buy.
