To Do Around Los Angeles

I want to mention two things you may like to do this month around Los Angeles.

Starting next week from the 19th to the 28th, the Los Angeles Auto Show will be going on at the downtown convention center. If you're interested in the latest models and new automobile technology and design, you should get your tickets and visit. I know every year it is a very busy event. I have never been, but if you are into cars, I'm sure you'll like the show. Find more information here: http://www.laautoshow.com/

Also, available any time is the Annenberg Space for Photoagraphy. It is a small photography museum that features the work of current photographers. Once they featured pictures of award winning photojournalists. That was an interesting exhibit. Presently, they are featuring pictures of extreme wildlife photographers. I am actually going today, on Veterans Day, to see this exhibit with some friends. I like this musuem because even though it is small, they have interesting technology to display many pictures.

They first have a large movie room with two large screens and couches. Here, they show short videos of artists and their pictures and the artists or photographers talk about their work. Then you can walk around to see photos on the wall in a small circular hallway. But then they have a little sitting area with two tables. Each table is actually an interactive computer touch screen. They are like large iPads almost. You can browse through more photos on these interactive computer tables and enlarge photos and zoom and move them around. It is very interesting technology and they always have interesting photos, too. Here is the musuem's website: http://www.annenbergspaceforphotography.org/

Let me know if either of these interest you. And if you go, please also share your experience with the class afterwards!
