The Traveler

On that same field trip to Union Station, I tried a few images with people in them. I was led astray by a number of my fellow students, who were accomplished street photographers. Peer pressure can be a terrible thing…

The Window Arrangement

Last winter I took a class at the Los Angeles Center for Photography, and it included a field trip to shoot at Union Station. On the way in to the main part of the station, I spotted this lovely, and random, assortment of stuff in a window.

The Shady Side

There wasn’t a lot of shade, but there was a little bit beside an abandoned church. The small and infrequent trees didn’t offer much, so it was nice that the building stepped up to help.

It was a one-star place

Here’s another view of the Texan Motel, which evidently, no matter how hard it tried, was ever only a one-star kind of place.

Texan

I won’t lie: my photographic heart beats a little faster when I see an abandoned place that’s got a window I can look through. This time, I spotted the Texan Motel lobby, complete with a rack of outdated (probably) tourist brochures.
