Live blog from the road

I'm sitting here over at the Norwalk green line station and was thinking what better way to spend my day than to have a live picture blog. Here is the entrance to the station here

Final Update 6:45 PM

All in all, I accomplished what I set out to do for the day. I had a couple of minor detours that I had to take, but my first part of research went as planned. Next time, I don't think there will be as many distractions since I will be going in a different direction from today. Hey this was kind of fun. Maybe I will do it again, since my phone was able to handle it. I have a picture set ready to go either tomorrow or Monday. Thanks for stopping by.

Final Final Update, The Next day.

I just realized I posted the best picture of the day on to my facebook and not here. So here it is.

It's Scoutin Time

So I've had an idea on a photo project for quite awhile now. Maybe around six months or so, and I stupidly haven't acted on it. Well, tomorrow is going to be my first day working on it. I'm going to be doing a series on the LA Metro service, in particular the incredible designs of some of their stops. For example the Hollywood Blvd and Vine Ave stop on the Metro Red Line below:

The walls and the ceiling are covered in empty 35mm film reels. and the posts are set up to look like palm trees.

There are several other locations that are just as interesting looking as this stop and I'm sure there are others that are more interesting to look at.

Well, tomorrows mission is to ride the metro system to mark off all the stops that I would have interest in shooting. Maybe I might even jump off and shoot a couple of them too. I'm not sure if I'm going black and white or color, but I will be using film and I'm going to be using my Lubitel 2, but the film and the camera will be uniform throughout the entire project.

I just realized too, that I just bought a new phone last week that will allow me to use the light meter app so I don't need to carry around my SLR. Its going to be sitting in my cool bag that I got a couple of weeks ago:

Venice, The Menace Part 1

I took many photos on this shoot so I split em up into separate groups. Once again, My thanks go out to Susie with all the bad ass ideas.

Here is a general map of where the photos were taken for this set. I'll probably run the next set on Friday so stay tuned for that.
