13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Man of Venice Beach

I was on vacation in California and one of my favorite things to do in any new city is people watch. Of course one of the best places to do this in southern California is Venice Beach. I was fascinated by all the performers, vendors, artists, and everything else in between, but what drew me to this man were his signs. The sign he's holding above his head says "Bitch don't kill my vibe". Needless to say I was not disappointed with my trip in the slightest.
