DTLA isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think L.A.--hello Hollywood, 90210 and the beaches, but it's certainly worth exploring.

You've got both the new (Disney Concert Hall and The Broad Museum) and very old (Philippe's Original and Union Station are both over 100 years young.)

Join me on a Photowalk through the unique character that is downtown Los Angeles, to find the most Instagrammable spots to capture the city, from the Vista Hermosa Park bench with the killer shot of the L.A. skyline to the icons (Union Station, Central Library), the old movie theaters of Broadway and the street photography with many, mucho characters.

The video (above) captures the sights and sounds on cameras from Sony, GoPro and DJI, while below are just a few of the pictorial highlights.

Vista Hermosa Park bench - DTLA Instagram moment no. 1
The best spot in Los Angeles for the selfie of you with the Los Angeles skyline behind you, the Vista Hermosa Park bench, just a few blocks away from Disney Hall and the Music Center. And there's free parking too. One of the top spots profiled in the latest Photowalk from Jefferson Graham, in downtown Los Angeles.

I don't know what the occasion was, but she was one of many dancers on a Sunday afternoon on Olvera Street in DTLA, and she sure knows how to strike a pose. From our DTLA Photowalk.
