AROMATIC PHOTO ESSAY by BETHANY MOLLENKOF; STORY by JULISSA JAMES Aroma expert and also the person I go to ask if something is ACTUALLY cool @goodjuju8 explores and breakdown the smells of L.A. I love this sentiment by @goodjuju8, “Scent and memory are undoubtedly connected but their relationship still exists so uniquely for almost anyone. These are some of the places where, for me, aroma and experience are linked. These are the smells from food spots around L.A. that have fed me.” So true...I feel this, how a scent carries the memories of significant people with fondness. This piece hit the most tender spots at the core of my heart. . ...and the visuals created are by the one and only @fancybethany. This visual journey accomplished beautifully, what it set out to do— the experience and smells of these familiar spots throughout the city are felt and familiar. I am inspired... and at the core of all photography, that is it... to be inspired, moved, tickled, impressed and to pause. .
