Today’s a big day for Los Angeles college football fans… it’s the annual cross town rivalry game between (USC) University of Southern California Trojans and the (UCLA) University of California at Los Angeles Bruins. I’d never paid much attention to college football until my son attended USC for his undergraduate studies (2002-06). He was lucky to be enrolled […]

This gallery of pictures was taken, quite literally, on the other side of the tracks. I visited the Art Walk at the Brewery, next to the train tracks, in downtown Los Angeles a month or so ago. Each visit there, I enjoy wandering the somewhat decrepit, rat’s-maze-like hallways as much as viewing works of the various artists who […]

Candid people-watching photos taken during my semi-annual visit to the Brewery Art Walk in downtown Los Angeles this past Saturday. ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)

Having a hotel room on the 16th floor, along with the miniature setting on my Nikon d5100, assisted in my shrinking of San Diego! 🙂 ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)

Continuing from yesterday’s post, the photos in this gallery were taken by Kat, as I drove, and we explored parts of West Los Angeles. ~SueBee (photos by Kat)

Cruising around West Los Angeles, on or near Melrose Avenue which runs east/west across the city, this gallery of photos (part 1 today) was taken by Kat as I drove. Los Angeles is an interesting city, even in the normal everyday, and it was difficult keeping an eye on the road! I pulled over often as […]

The photos in this gallery showcase the hardy plant Kat spotted as we cruised Melrose in Hollywood and West Los Angeles this past Sunday. Among the art-encrusted back alleys we bumped along, directly behind trendy shops, struggled this tomato vine, peeping through the fence, offering its fruit to anyone who would have it. ~SueBee (photos by Kat)

(18 photos in gallery) The city of Orange hosts an International Street Fair every Labor Day weekend, this past one being their 41st. I drove toward the town square Friday evening, and smartly chose to park a mile or so away and walk in, avoiding all the people endlessly circling for spots. The Street Fair goes on the […]

It’s not uncommon to see film crews around Southern California, but it’s always extra fun to see them in action! The photos in this gallery were taken in downtown Los Angeles recently. I’m always amazed at the large amount of equipment and people required for shooting an individual scene. And, who knows if all that work […]

(8 photos) Wherever I go, I seek out cool reflections. Light playing on objects and recreating an image is something I find fascinating. While in downtown Los Angeles recently, I captured the ones in this gallery. Personal favorites are the musician playing at USC, wearing those fabulous retro shades (throw-back to my era!), and the bicycle […]

(11 photos) It seems a dining recommendation is long overdue. While downtown Los Angeles at the Brewery Artwalk this past weekend, Kat and I visited the San Antonio Winery, two streets over from the Brewery. Not only do they offer free wine tastings (I’m certain they’re the ONLY winery still offering that wonderful service), but […]

(28 photos) After much anticipation, the springtime Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles started yesterday. I was joined by my son and two of his friends for a few hours. To start the day, we bought some delicious Korean BBQ tacos (yummmm!) from the Kogi food truck, beers and sangria from the Brewery, and somehow managed to carry […]

The gallery included here continues the photography walking tour I did recently on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, as started in part 1. I won’t write anything, rather, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I think they tell quite a story. Be sure to click on a photo to open the gallery. Thanks for joining […]

Gathering at the designated meeting point for a recent photography walking tour of Broadway in downtown Los Angeles, we waited for others to arrive. I started scanning the surrounding area, anxious to get started, and noticed window washers high up the side of a building.I was a bit perplexed they were working on a Saturday, so I switched […]

Scanning the downtown L.A. skyline while standing atop Bunker Hill last Saturday, near the upper landing of Angel’s Flight, the scene below caught my eye. Oh! People on a rooftop with two large white balloons. Interesting…must get a closer look…Ah-ha! It must be a photo shoot. I zoomed in, feeling somewhat like an intruder to an […]

Walking in downtown L.A. last Saturday, I veered off Broadway to Hill, and into Pershing Square where I met this gentleman, a gentle man. I offered him the coffee I’d bought but decided I didn’t want because it’s impossible to walk and take pictures while holding a cup, and the pictures were more important to me. I […]

Met up with a street photography group yesterday morning in downtown Los Angeles. That was a first for me, as majority of my photography expeditions are solo, or occasionally with Kat. There must have been 20 people gathered at the prescribed meeting point, but I branched off with one other woman instead, and we headed out. For […]

Recycling a few photos from earlier articles showing Southern California’s Street Life. ~SueBee (pics by both Kat and SueBee) “For this challenge, document the movement (or stillness) of a street: tell a story with your snapshot, capture a scene that reveals a bit about a place, or simply show us where you live — or a path […]

Today’s Foto Fix is a trio taken in an industrial section along the east side of downtown Los Angeles. Feel like you’re being watched?! ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)  

Last November I luckily stumbled on the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles. As I noted in my articles (Taste of Art and Exploring the Buildings) at the time, I was so blown away by the art and the buildings, I vowed to return. The springtime Artwalk is coming up April 26-27 so I decided to […]
