I try to take this same photo every time I go to LACMA. I had already taken a couple of photos when the woman in the center showed up. I prayed she would walk through the center of the four tables. She did and I snap the shot.
Just one. Yes you can go bang, bang, bang, and many more bangs or you can concentrate and just have to do it once. Old school style.
I really like the way she is carrying the sign. It’s as if it’s a religious ICON and she’s protecting herself from the fellows at the table.
What do you think of it?

Back in the 60′s if someone yelled ‘Surf’s Up!’ the whole area would empty out. The beach was only 15 minute walk away.
This was also before the marina was put in. That wiped out any good surfing forever.

Yes they are the same subway entrance just photograph from different locations and most importantly just over 2 hours apart.
When I got back to the subway stop I thought I was at the wrong place. They couldn’t do all that work in 2 hours plus. But they did. There was some fencing but nothing else in the morning then in the early afternoon this.
I’m going back this morning and I will stop at the Civic Center and see how far they have gone in two days.
Film at 11.

Is it the 4th Street Bridge over the LA River? I think it is but because I get lazy keeping track of what I shoot, the location, and name of the bridge is in question. It shouldn’t be. Lightroom has plenty of options for keeping track of your images. The only reason we don’t is for one reason only: LAZY.
I’ll know for sure tomorrow when I go into LA for a day of shooting.
The photo was taken while on MetroLink heading back home.

From LACMA’s web site:
Chris Burden’s Metropolis II is an intense kinetic sculpture, modeled after a fast paced, frenetic modern city. Steel beams form an eclectic grid interwoven with an elaborate system of 18 roadways, including one 6 lane freeway, and HO scale train tracks. Miniature cars speed through the city at 240 scale miles per hour; every hour, the equivalent of approximately 100,000 cars circulate through the dense network of buildings. According to Burden, “The noise, the continuous flow of the trains, and the speeding toy cars, produces in the viewer the stress of living in a dynamic, active and bustling 21st Century city.”

With this photo I was trying to find the best position to give the feeling that Levitated Mass was actually floating. Not easy. But maybe from this same position but earlier in the morning with the Sun in a position to fill the walkway with light and better give the impression of Levitated Mass.
