City of the angels, spread your wings for me
I've been other places looking for my dream
Eastern cities move too fast
Southern ones too slow
I can't go back to my past
And I need someplace to grow
City of the Angels
Clear your cloudy skies for me
I heard you got some places that I oughta see
Heard you got a Disneyland not too far away
When it rains I understand the skies are clear all day
– Bill Withers
PHOTO: Hallie is one of many dreamers who have come to LA to find a new home. I met her at a local gym. We started conversing and I was taken by her sweetness and vulnerability. We have done several shoots. I think coming and doing something creative with me provides her a nice respite from the everyday pressures of making it in the City of Angels.
