Take a two-mile walk with me, a writer on Los Angeles, through Echo Park on an art and writing pilgrimage through one of Los Angeles’ most culturally rich neighborhoods. As we walk, I’ll invite you to respond creatively to what you’re experiencing primarily through photography.
• At the boathouse, we'll go over the inspiration for the route we’ll take. You’ll receive an photographic map that includes an article on Echo Park I wrote for the Los Angeles Times.
• We’ll walk along Echo Park Lake, a scenic spot with views of downtown LA and the surrounding hills.
• As we continue into nearby historic districts, I’ll weave together stories from the area’s past. We’ll also explore the contrast between dense housing and hidden green spaces, and the urban jungle as a source of both chaos and peace.
• Heading back toward the heart of Echo Park, we’ll stop at murals, galleries, and independent art spaces. We’ll close at Echo Park Lake by sharing what we’ve created during our adventure.
This walk is part of a series titled One Mile Per Hour, which encourages slow observation within an accelerated culture.
“Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate. Wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice.” ― Kurt Vonnegut
