Get the Point?

801 Tower on Figueroa, Downtown LA

I thought this was the outside of a nightclub in Downtown LA, but it seems to be a cool courtyard outside of a building that could be an apartment or an office building.

Did He Save the Cheerleader?

Arco Plaza, Downtown LA - Shot with Canon 10D, Canon 50mm f1.8, ISO 400,1/640 @ f7.1

You might recognize this sculpture from Season 1 of Heroes. I'd been looking for it for a few years now and it turns out that I've walked past it several times. It's right across the street from the LA Public Library on 6th st and around the corner from the First Interstate building (The tallest building in the city). It has a couple of "it looks like" the main ones I think it looks like are a strand of DNA and the Cobra logo from GI Joe. 

Fractured Tree or Fractured Existence?

Sorry for the delay this week. I was on a travelling delay. I have a boatload of shots I took on my travels that I'll be showing pretty soon. Hope you all are having a good week thus far.

Walt Disney Concert Hall, Garden on the back of the concert hall - Shot with Canon 10D, Canon 50mm f1.8, ISO 400,1/1250 @ f9

I shot this on my last visit to the concert hall after I ditched a convention because it was a real snoozer. There was a couple getting their wedding pictures done here. Was very interesting to watch for the few minutes that I did.

I always go back to the same places to see if I can find anything new or creative to shoot. If you think you have nothing to shoot or you live in a boring area, I'll tell you that you're wrong. I keep going back to places like this because it forces me to think out of the box and to push myself to see something I might have missed before. Pushing the limits in these ways flourish creativity.

On the Steps of the World

At the top of Bunker Hill overlooking LA Public Library, May 2013 - Shot with Canon 10D, Canon 50mm f1.8, ISO 400,1/1250 @ f 10

A couple weeks back, I went to a photography convention at the convention center in LA. I ended up leaving it because it was a snoozer and there wasn't anything there that interested me. So I walked down Figueroa until I got to the Walt Disney Concert Hall and then went down Grand before cutting over to Hope st until it ended here at the steps of Bunker Hill. This shot was a stitched shot/pano shot that was made from a total of 29 shots. Thanks go out to Susie for giving me the idea to do stitched shots.
