One Word- SPS #2

Ok, so i'm still getting used to having to take pictures of myself.. i'm always the one behind the camera, and this is helping me to come out of my shell. Not the best pic, but still a pic.
But i'm proud of this one because, as you can see, i'm wearing jeans. Jeans that i haven't been able to wear(because they were too small) since April of 2006!! Ironically, they are even baggy in the legs.. but not in the hips. Isn't that just the luck? Nonetheless, my weight loss is still going strong, and this proves it! *Cheers for Char!!!*

Downtown LA Trip (July 14th, 2007)




















This was at the Cathedral in downtown LA. I actually liked how the water was frozen in time because it gives it an interesting look being on a wall.



In the corner of the fountain was this tiny, flourishing plant. Hidden from most people's site, i found it, and decided to remember it.















More frozen water... doesn't it look like it's walking down the steps?





















This was in Chinatown, one of the side streets.
















This was on the ground at the Metro stop in ChinaTown. I love this shot.















Union Station. Something about the symmetry of this grabbed me. And i love Union Station.















Another classic shot inside of Union Station. Just beautiful!















Outside view of Union station. Again, just classic.




















This donkey was just outside the entrance to Olvera Street. Too funny NOT to take a picture of! He is kinda cute isnt he?
















An outdoor area behind a church, across from Olvera Street. I loved the way the shadows of the canopies reflected on the ground. A beautiful, quaint little area.




















A view of the street. I'm a fan of perspectives. This is a great example of one point perspective and repetition.















One side of the old firehouse building. Wonderful architecture and brickwork. I also liked the little lanterns overhead, the arched windows and the brickwork of the street.
















Another lovely building. Look at the gorgeous arches of the windows and the details. The streetlights just add measures to the shot. Beautiful lines and perspective.


And that concludes my tour of Downtown LA! Hope you enjoyed the show! I took many digital shots, as shown, and also many shots with black and white film. Maybe one day if i can find time to scan the good ones, i'll post those as well.
