I will readily admit that I really like Frank Gehry’s architecture.  The first of his building that I actually saw in person was this one.  I have taken photos here on at least four occasions and each and every time I have gotten very different looking images.  I took this one the same night as I took the previous two down town Los Angeles posts.

I learned that the guards do not allow tripods on the sidewalk next to building.  At least we could use tripods across the street from the concert hall.

I hope you like the image.

Here’s another image from the same trip I discussed in the post to the blog.  I walked around looking for interesting compositions within the city.  I really like the pedestrian bridge as it is an interesting structure.  I took several photos of it, but did not really like what I got, after a bit of looking I thought about placing it in the foreground with some buildings in the background and with the wide angle lens gave a view of the city that I fell really represents Los Angeles.

I hope you enjoy the image.

A couple of months ago I went with a group of photographers to photograph in downtown Los Angeles.  I found that LA was very quite at night with very few people or cars around.  I did not know that this park actually even existed and the sculpture in the foreground was very interesting.  The lights had not been on for very long when I took this photograph.  All in all it was a nice evening.

Thanks for looking!

The Huntington Library and Gardens is a wonderful place to visit.  The gardens are a extensive as they are beautiful.  Cynde and I went one Sunday afternoon, we wandering around the Japanese and Chinese gardens taking many different photos.  It was a very nice afternoon and we took lots of photos.  My only complaint about the Huntington is they close much to early.  I really enjoy the early light and late light neither of which are possible at the gardens.  As I took this photo I was being told by one of the guards telling me to keep moving towards the entrance.

I think the photo was well worth me stopping and being urged to keep moving towards the entrance.

Cynde and I visited Travel Town near the LA Zoo a week or so before Father’s day this year.  We had a good time photographing the trains and we created a book with train photos as a gift to my father for Father’s Day.  The project was quite fun and it was nice to share our vision of trains with my dad.  We had a nice cloudy day which gave us some good light to photograph the trains.

I’ll be posting more of images from that day in the future.
