In January 2012, Randy sent a text message to Ralph around 6 a.m. with a link to a short time-lapse video, asking if they could create something similar. Ralph responded immediately with a “yes,” but on the condition that they had to do things that nobody had done before and go to unique and/or hard-to-reach places. This is how the TimeLAX project began.
They incorporated pans and tilts from the very first video. We have produced more time-lapse videos of Los Angeles than anyone else. In fact, we have photographed L.A. from spots that were later used as inspiration or reference by other photographers. We have created this space, which is the only website dedicated exclusively to time-lapse photography of the Los Angeles Metropolitan area.
TimeLAX comprises various types of photography, including architectural, astrophotography, artistic, experimental, and cityscape, which is a favorite among everyone.
What began as a personal challenge for Ralph and Randy, TimeLAX has evolved into the largest independent Los Angeles time-lapse archive ever created.
TimeLAX is Los Angeles the way you haven’t seen it before!
