Figured I should get a post or two in before May passes us all by. May has been a slow month for me photographically speaking. A lot of focus has went into getting a new home in order and getting married.
It has not been all void of camera action - just nothing I have to share at the moment.
April came and went - moved into a new place, had an eventful trip out in the Mojave desert and got more psyched up for marriage.
Here are a few random images that I had sitting in my Blog Image folder awaiting posting.
First is an image from the said trip out in the Mojave.
This is an annual event that I very much enjoy and it takes place usually in March or April and consist of a weekend camping adventure with many of my railfan friends and comrades from Fullerton and usually a few from other area's. This years event was full of forgetful moments for some and unforgettable moments for others. None of which I will elaborate on here other than to share this image of a train approaching us out in the vast desert near a place called Klondike.
Next image comes from downtown Los Angeles in another one of my "Im Bored and photographing old boring buildings again" jaunts through the area.
This particular one is located on 7th and Santa Fe near the LA river.
Lastly is an image from May .. hay, how about that!! I purchased a new camera on Friday the 23rd so Saturday the 24th, I hit the town with some sort of unfounded inspiration that never really materialized. I had a great time driving around solo and looking for things that I had photographed before with my old camera as well as new things to capture with my new Nikon D60. Cloudy skies and unpredictable weather led me astray much of the time and I found myself wondering around looking for things. This one was taken to the east of China Town along what used to be known as the SP Bull Ring (I think) back in the day with the Southern Pacific Railroad had a rail yard here. Would have liked to capture this with some rail in the foreground, but alas that is not possible any longer. So .. here is the downtown LA skyline under a few somewhat threatening clouds.
