How Do You Fall: Downtown LA

On November 11th, I took a day trip out to Downtown LA. As usual I took my preffered route of driving down to the Metro Green Line station in Norwalk, CA and transferring over to the Blue Line train. This trip was mostly dedicated to the 11-11-11 project, but I also had wanted to eat lunch in Little Tokyo.

The order of the pictures are the timeline of my walk across the dense metropolis. I got off the Blue Line station at Pico station, Cut down 11th Ave and then walked across on Broadway.

This is still probably my most favorite place to take pictures at and seem to find something new to shoot every time. Even walking in the same places I've shot before. I think I should bring my substandard point and shoot next time to switch it up.















Where is your most favorite place that you've taken pictures at?

One last note for today, I made my very first portfolio. I have the best of the best of my shots on there. I would very much appreciate if you'd check it out (Right Here) and let me know what you think, Good or Bad. Have a great week!

Hey thanks Nat! The rock flower looking deal is part of the overhang at the Mayan Theater. I had taken a shot of practically everything else picture worthy before.
I really like 7 and 14... but I don't know what they are!
Is 7 a concrete stump that you shot looking down on?
And I am going to guess 14 is pineapple guava fruit on that tree. The shape and color is right, I am dying to know!

with number 7, its actually the overhang from the mayan theater. I was just looking up and saw it and framed it up and took the shot. Too many tall trees in front of the building to get a more decent shot of the joint.

I'm not sure what type of fruit was on the tree in number 14. For all I know it could have been a guava tree. I actually took that picture to see if I could find the green parrots that were up there eating the fruit, which you can in the center. The fruit actually looked like it was the size of an avocado and all the leaves were pink, so I have no clue what the heck it was.
Hard to imagine an LA sky being anything other than some weird mix of brown, yellow and red. Good job getting the sky to look so nice.

Every time I've gone over there recently, there didn't seem to be a touch of smog in the sky. Maybe I'm just lucky. Oddly enough, I heard on the radio the other day that at least 25% of the smog LA gets is actually from china on any given day. I wonder how some scientist came up with that number.
Your stuff is really improving these days! :D

I'm starting to notice that myself these days. Though I did go out yesterday and had a hell of a time getting good shots. I make do with what I have though. :-) Thanks Cam!
