Just look at this guy and he will chase you around on his roller skates to try and get your attention

Homeless and busking for a dollar. Exactly that and with no talent. This place is full of loud noises and no rythum

Innovation? Pay $1.00 and you'll get some 'shitty advice'

Yep, this is Venice Beach with everyone trying to make a dollar. Buskers, homeless, druggies etc, it's all about 'targeting the tourist'.

This picture of the person giving Shitty Adive is of my brother. He is not a bum, he is a veteran and very caring individual. Nobody has had contact with him since Nov.4,2012 and we are very concerned as this is not usual behavior. He calls us at least once a week and never misses a Holiday. His birthday was in March and nobody has heard from him, please let me know if you see him again and tell him to call home. He can call collect if needed. We have filed a missing persons report with the Santa Monica police as the last we knew his most recent apartment was in Santa Monica. Please spread the word and help us find him!! We are desparate.

Hi Carol,
from this post I hope you have someone who can help you. I'm from Australia so I don't live there, was only visiting. If you know anyone around Venice Beach area in Los Angeles or if you are able to go yourself, I'm sure that there would be many people along this beach front area you could ask.

A lot of people seem to be there regularly and would possibly know something that could help. Good Luck.

I love street photography and capturing the context of our everyday life and then, writing the 'stories' that go with the images.
Our world is full of interesting places and faces. So take some time out to observe our places and see how fascinating we can all be OR follow me!
