Tagged Up

I pass by this doorway nearly every day en route to obtain my #dailyespressoshot. The configuration of the doorway on this old building has always intrigued me from a composition point of view. This particular morning it had been tagged overnight, and the contrasting colors really caught my eye. It has since been painted over.

And, by the way, I have zero idea what this says. It's a completely foreign language to me. Just looks kinda cool. I see a 4 in there, which is easy, because this is on 4th Street. Today this spot is completely blank.

Announcing the Red Light District?

Not really. Just a simple red light. I dig simple stuff like this, the shape, the colors, the geometry. It fascinates me.

Some (most) of the photography gurus say to never shoot outdoors except during blue or golden hour. This was shot in the blazing midday sun. But I got this out of it. I guess it depends on what your subject is. This is so simple, but I just find this kind of thing absolutely enthralling.

On or Off??

Need a key to turn these on.

No Parking

I found a computer folder with some images off an old phone. I really like some of these shots, so I've edited them anew. This be one. I remember this well:  I drove into this parking lot to hike down the trail to the beach and get some shots down there, and I parked my old truck directly in front of this scene, and the seagull did me the favor of staying still for me to photograph it. An hour later, when I returned to my truck, the seagull was STILL there.

That is Catalina in the background.

Meter Me

I'm always finding things interesting when I'm creeping around alleys.

Another alley

I found another alley in DTLB to search for photographic opportunities.

Yuletide

Ah, the true meaning of christmas.

Random Geometry...

...shadows, lighting, interior shots.

Brown Leaf

Spotted this in front of a window yesterday.

Rocking Pipe

I walk by this almost every day, and it always catches my eye. I finally caught it with the right light on it for me, and I finally got a decent capture of it. Another one of those mundane but interesting subjects/compositions that catch my eye.
