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.

Train Detail from Travel Town

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

This is another photo from a photowalk I took many months ago.  I have visited several different Union station in various cities over the years and I think this is my favorite one to visit.  I really love the art deco architecture of Union Station.  This photo appears in the Schmapp Guide for Los Angeles.

Union Station LA Style

I hope you enjoyed the photo!

I really like photographing old buildings.  I does not matter much if they are in nice condition or abandoned, I just love the details in these buildings.  One this particular day I noticed the clouds in the sky and I knew they would work well in a photo, since a technique I like to use will emphasize the detail in the clouds.  Had a lot of fun working with this old building, you know, maybe old abandoned buildings are more interesting . . .

Monrovia Train Station

I have heard rumor that if the Gold Line Extension goes through there will be a stop here and they have plans to add and modernize this station.  I hope they do not remove the character of this old station.
