Bicyclist and pedestrians on sidewalk, Broadway and 5th Street Some pundit once observed that "nobody walks in LA", which is not only an untrue statement, but something of a put-down of Los Angelenos in general, as it makes us all look like slaves to our automobiles, not to mention obese and otherwise out-of-shape, which is certainly not the case for yours truly.  The reality is far

Children at play, Pershing Square For reasons almost too numerous to detail, the past year wasn't very pleasant for any number of people just about any place on the globe you care to name. Still, for some righteous souls with grit and determination, it was a new beginning with dazzling opportunity. Here's hoping that the future will bring good fortune for you and yours and fulfill your

This circa '53 Buick Roadmaster was seen by the side of Old Route 66 last week, the pilot having bailed and trudged off toward civilization and, one presumes, mechanical assistance. Not being particularly up to speed on '53 Buicks, I figured the least I could do after capturing this image was give it an appropriate vintage era treatment in Lightroom, so I applied one of my own custom

The Victor Clothing Building in downtown Los Angeles features several outstanding murals on both its north and south walls. This mural of actor and East Los Angeles native Anthony Quinn (born Quinones) was painted by noted muralist Eloy Torrez in 1984. It depicts Quinn in one of his most famous rolls, that of Zorba in the motion picture Zorba the the Greek, from the book of the same name by

Pershing Square, wall and palm tree, 2007 Two hundred twenty four years ago today, November 18, 1787 to be precise, the inventor of photography Louis Daguerre was born. The Los Angeles Times describes him as "a painter, a physicist and a dreamer who wanted to somehow capture those images he saw in his camera obscura." Eventually he figured out a way to capture those images, although the

Another Los Angeles gem hidden in plain sight, situated on an urban peninsula, Angelique offered French bistro-style food (not cuisine, mind you, but basic French countryside food - eggs benedict and Croque Monsieur were staples, while their onion soup was always superb). The service was usually excellent, but when it was bad, it was tres mal. (Come to think of it, that's actually something

Late afternoon shoppers stroll past the old Arcade Theater on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. The Arcade was designed by architects Morgan & Walls in 1910 for Alexander Pantages as a vaudeville music & variety theater. Today the interior remains roughly intact, although the seats have been removed and the interior space is used for stock storage. Its former lobby now houses a

Although this is not a news blog, it's pretty hard to ignore it when something in your neighborhood becomes a national news item. The Occupy Wall Street movement is today's "big news" and has its counterpart here in Los Angeles at City Hall, just a few blocks from my apartment, so the other day I headed on over to to see what I would see. As a former photojournalist, I am acutely aware of the

Many people are unaware of this - and when you think about it, it does seem counterintuitive (home of Skid Row and all that) - but the fact of the matter is that downtown LA has very few liquor stores - only four that I'm aware of. Sure you can buy wine and beer all over, but a bottle of Johnnie Walker? that's tough. With the exception of the liquor section in the Rite Aide drugstore on Broadway,

The other day we posted an image of Nick's Cafe. Well, if you do stop in there for breakfast or lunch, after you break your fast you might want to cruise on up Spring Street just a bit further, where it becomes a bridge over the LA River. Just under the beginning of the bridge is another hidden LA gem, Lauren Bon's Farmlab art gallery/performance space. In the area literally under the bridge,

Terence Lyons is a journalist friend who writes me occasionally to fill me in on Los Angeles treasures that he runs across in his wanderings around Los Angeles. Recently he wrote me about Nick's Cafe, an LA landmark that has been operating in the same location just north of downtown LA since almost forever.This morning I had breakfast at Nick’s Café on North Spring Street just past Chinatown, on

The process of the rejuvenation of the Broadway corridor in downtown LA is relentless. Here we see what was once a discount store of fashion factory seconds has been replaced by a bicycle shop featuring state-of-art machines. Another step forward for alternate transportation, as well as another venue for urban art.Click on photo for larger image.

There are so many nooks and crannies in the downtown area that I am in a constant state of amazement at opportunities to shoot the extraordinary on any given day. It's no wonder that the area is in near constant use as locations for Hollywood movies and television shows.This image was taken in St Vincent Court, a cul-de-sac done up like a European village street, sandwiched between and behind two

Once upon a time, this liquor store in East LA was a fine example of the optimistic 50's idea of modern architecture. The wrap-around window treatment, originally designed to allow the brilliant Southern California light to flood the store, became a weak point for the store's survival in a rather harsh cultural climate.These days, it's become rather buttoned down, almost jail-like.

The day that Americans planted a flag on the moon was also the day I first set foot in Paris. After a long bus ride in from Lichtenstein, I emerged from up out of the Paris Metro and the first thing I spotted was a newspaper kiosk with Le Figaro's amazing heading in 128pt Bold announcing "L'Homme sur la Lune!" How apropos, I mused.Since then Paris has always held a special place in my heart and I

The central core of Los Angeles is undergoing gentrification at a mad pace, although the recession has slowed it down somewhat. Still, the owners of this loft building on Main just south of 6th have apparently found some cash and are hard at it. For our bicyclist, his day is apparently done.

I've recently been working with the local Los Angeles artist Robert Vargas. Vargas does mixed-media portraits as well as fine art. Here he's seen at the Downtown Comedy Club in LA, as part of the monthly Art Walk, doing on-the-spot portraits in front of a sometimes distracted audience.

For photographers, Independence Day usually means the same old photographs of fireworks, family picnics and people on the National Mall, so I thought this year I'd try something a little different. I assigned myself a mini photo shoot: a walk around the block in my neighborhood, downtown L.A., or, one block in one hour. This is what I came back with. To increase dramatic effect, they're shown

I really love downtown Los Angeles. It's the oldest part of LA south of Olvera Street, of course, but still very much alive and hectic during shopping hours. I'm working on a project to document the changing facades of Broadway, DTLA's main commercial drag, and as I wandered south on Broadway the other day, I came upon this new (to me, anyway) wonderful mural. I'm still working on finding out who

While most companies report that they are still assessing the damage caused by the most powerful quake in Japanese history, it seems that there have been no deaths, and injuries to camera company employees. Structural damage to company facilities vary. Most companies are subject to rolling blackouts that are being imposed by the Japanese power authorities due to the evolving crisis at the nuclear

Historic Angels Flight funicular on Bunker Hill in downtown LA ("the world's shortest railway") was doing rides for 1 cent today, so I celebrated Christmas by taking a couple of trips. And rather than wave my Instamatic around, I thought I might take my time and make a Serious Photograph. This is the result. Happy Holidays, everybody!

From time to time, Los Angeles just surprises the heck out of me. Awhile back, I went to visit a friend's new gallery which is adjacent to MacArthur Park, an area I thought I knew well. After all, when I was a kid, my parents would take me and my brother to the park to ride in the big paddle boats that were for rent there. On my way to the subway, I crossed the park and stumbled on this

A photographer friend of mine emailed me to say that while he liked the portrait I posted yesterday, he thought the picture might benefit from a little cropping, to bring the subject into tighter focus. After a little reflection, I find I agree with him, so here's the edited result. (Note that I applied a hint of dodging around the subject's head to help separate him from the dark background.)Tip

A sample of my progress on my Portraits of LA project.

In their infinite mystery, thousands of people walk the streets of downtown Los Angeles. Where do they come from? Where are they going? Who are they, really? I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know that to them, I too am just another stranger passing by.

The Rosslyn Hotel in downtown Los Angeles was built in 1923 as an annex to its larger sister hotel across the street, which was known far and wide as the Million Dollar Hotel. While its days of star-studded fame have faded into the past, every once in a while the ghosts reappear for a brief moment and the Rosslyn is once again a glamorous destination.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I'd get some themed pics for the occasion, and I think these two fit the bill. Downtown LA has lots of these small shops, still doing a brisk business despite the poor economy. People are just going to keep getting married, recession or not.

My apartment is eight floors up from the street in downtown LA. Even so, street sounds carry amazingly well here and it's usually fairly noisy. I had been working very late and the streets had gotten awfully quiet, so when the unique sound of tires on wet pavement broke through to my attention, I knew that a rare event was taking place: it was raining in LA.I grabbed my D70s and rode the elevator

The famous Los Angeles writer Charles Bukowski used to hang out in the lobby of this hotel on Skid Row, watching life pass by.

Went to see the parade today. There were lots of nice people there. LA's not such a bad town as it's often made out to be.

There's a sandwich shop just inside the lobby and to the right. Not that I'm recommending it.

We went shopping for a sweater today. This strange Oriental lady kept following us around.

The rain has turned LA into an exotic place. I'm thinking of tigers.

When it gets late in LA, we start thinking about fast food. But we don't go to McDonald's. Oh, no.

The card thing was a bust, so I took myself to breakfast. The diner was almost empty.

The other day was my birthday. I went to the store to buy myself a card to cheer myself, but the store had gone out of business.

We shuffled into the library; head down, we buried ourselves in the small print. Above us, infinity split the sky.

Walking to work in the near dark morning, threading the uncertain sidewalk. A car flashes by; startled, we look up - sunrise.

Late night Chinatown, waiting for a bus; the window fan blows tepid air onto the occupant of the apartment over the liquor store; the radio fades in and out; the doorbell tinkles.

With the new digital sensors, we get bigger files sizes, and so we must update our computer; in this case, a new Dell Vostro 220s, running an Intel Core 2 Duo w/E8400 CPU @ 3GHz/1333 FSB, 4GB RAM with 6MB cache, on-board 1GB Intel Extreme Graphics Chipset, and an Asus 24" LCD monitor; color corrected by eye at the moment, but with a Spyder2 on order. Is it fast? Oh, yes. I'm running Windows 7

This tiny chef is everywhere I go. I should like one of my own, I think.

Downtown's Art Walk is more then just the strollers' appreciation of paintings and sculpture. There's always music and the crowd becomes art itself.
